Small caching tour of Winnipeg in the St. Boniface district. This
area is rich with history. You could spend weeks here just reading
the memorials.
The Cache is not necessarily winter friendly. But it is also not
winter un-friendly either. Some digging will be required at the
final, but the hiding spot, and the cache, are large enough that
you should be able to find it. In the summer, watch out for wasps
and hornets.

CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES!
This is a five stage (plus a final) multi cache in Winnipeg. Many
of the tourist attractions are situated on the other side of the
river. I have decided to bring you over the bridges to the French
Quarter of our fair city. If you are an intrepid soul and the
weather is fair, you could complete this on on foot, but using an
HPV (Human Powered Vehicle) is ideal. In the winter, TAKE A CAR!
THIS IS WINNIPEG!
Location 1 - At Posted Coordinates
The first (posted) set of coordinates will lead you to Coronation
Park. This was the site of my first Geocache, which was muggled
within 5 hours of my placing it. This is a pleasant little park and
one of the oldest in the city. A fun day would be to pick up some
Burgers and Fries at Mrs. Mikes down the street and enjoy a picnic
here. But for the purposes of this cache you are looking at the
monument. Not the big one...the small one. What is the second
number in the Legion # that this memorial is dedicated to. This
number is "A"
Location 2 - 49 53.211 - 97 07.395
We are looking for the year Tache arrived here. Add the first to
the fourth number of that year to get "B"
Location 3 - 49 53.170 - 97 07.383
How many "adult" bison are on this monument. Subtract 3 from this number to get "C".
Location 4 - 49 53.130 - 097 07.387
Marvel at how many days the nuns spent in a canoe on their way
here. Subtract this number from 60 to get "D".
Location 5 - 49 53.965 - 97 07.645
To find the final number, count all of the bolts in this
structure...just kidding! Look up. Count the number of 2x4's that
make up the flat bottom of the slide (not the sides). That
number is "E".
Here is the coordinate cipher. Just plug in your numbers
and go get it!
