Geocache Description:

The Sixth in a series of Puzzle Caches celebrating Great Canadian Musicians

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

Gordon Lightfoot is considered one of the senior statesmen in Canadian music. He has put out 20 albums in his career that started in 1966. Though he often wrote poignant songs about heartbreak and relationships, two of his more famous compositions are The Canadian Railroad Trilogy and The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Though he was once reported dead, he is still alive and well.

Watch the video found in the link below, and answer the questions to find the coordinates of the cache.



Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

A = The number of miles they were from Whitefish Bay
B = The number of men who died

The cache will be found at A*100 metres on a bearing of B*10 degrees from the reference coordinates (N44 56.021 W075 31.021)

WARNING:The cache is easily accessible during the winter. During other times of the year, this will be an unpleasant wet and muddy walk, mostly thanks to the 4-wheeler damage.
Feel free to try, but the terrain will go up accordingly.



Good luck and have fun!
