Bowmanville Mall Crawl Multi-Cache
JUNGLE J: To my regret, not only has at least one of the "signs" that the cache requires been changed yet again, but the final has been muggled. Once muggles have discovered a larger container like this one was, they usually come back along the nearby public path and look again. Time to take this one out of the mix. Cache is being archived today. Jungle J

A "drive first, walk later" cache, you need to visit several malls, very briefly, and gather the data to create the coordinates for the final cache, then go for a walk to find the final.
The cache is a camouflaged container about twice the size of a peanut butter jar. Take care with muggles and curious eyes though. Many of them around.
Although the mall stops can be done in any order, I recommend the order on this description. When you count the letters on the signs, count only the letters on the large "store top" signs, count the letters on a sign only once although it may be present many times, and do not count the letters "TM" for trademark or "R" for registered wherever they appear under a company name. Just the letters in the major sign which names the business.
Stop 1: Drive past or park near N 43 54.295, W078 41.624
Count the letters in the large sign on the top of the business to the east of you. (Hint: green with white letters, use only the sign which is repeated three times, ignore the other two signs, and count the letters on only one of the three)
Count = A = __________
Stop 2: Drive past or park near N 43 54.282, W078 41.994
Count the letters on the large store sign on the business to the north of you. (Hint: blue sign, white letters, sign appears twice)
Count = B = __________
Stop 3: Drive past or park near N 43 54.646, W078 40.604
Count the letters on the top sign on the store to your south. (Hint: blue sign, red letters, sells cow juice)
Count = C = _________
Stop 4: Park near N 43 54.719, W078 40.322
Count the letters in top sign to your south. Hint: large red sign, white letters)
Count = D = _________
Calculate the final coordinates this way:
Add the five counts A + B + C + D = _________
Add this sum to the last three digits of BOTH of the following coordinates:
N 43 54.639 + .0_ _ = N______________
W078 40.028 + .0 _ _ = W______________
Move your vehicle to a favourable parking spot, and take a short hike. Lots of parking. Caution please. A busy area! Watch for muggles.
