Well the hockey season is officially over and what is one to do? Geocaching
of course!!
This is my first hide and it is a 1.5L cammo Lock(out)&Lock(out) in a
nice walking park in the Newton area of Surrey. The coordinates listed above
are one of the suggested parking locations. From either of the parking spots
suggested below, it is an easy, short jaunt to the cache site.

To get the actual cache coordinates, you will have to brush up on your hockey
knowledge (can't get rusty now can we!). You'll have to correctly identify
the jersey number for the hockey players listed below and fit those
numbers into N49 0A.BCD W122 E0.BFG.
The original contents of this hockey themed cache are: a replica NHL awards
trophy, official NHL playing cards in a keepsake tin, a hockey puck, a roll
of hockey tape, hockey themed drink coasters, 1980's era hockey cards in plastic
sleeves (w/ a common theme amongst them...can you figure it out?), and for
the FTF (if they so desire) a Franklin the Turtle DVD titled, "Franklin
Plays Hockey" for the younger cacher/hockey fans in the world. It
would be great if cachers could keep the theme in mind when they make a trade,
if possible.
The actual cache site is heavily treed so if the coordinates (and hence jersey
numbers) need adjusting please let me know or post in your log. There also
seems to be some evidence of the general cache area being an occasional youth
hang-out so CITO would always be a good idea and carefully re-hiding the cache would be appreciated!
