Mr. Bill Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

thekingmas: I'll bet Sluggo is behind the damaged to Mr. Bill and the cache. ;o)

Anyway, I am archiving this cache so that the area is open for other cachers to place something. This is a great (but challenging) trail and its nice to get some activity up and along here.

Geocache Description:

This is our first cache and we placed it along the Adam Dopko Trail. Entrance to the trail is along Old Hwy 8 at N43 11.688 W079 35.899 and is marked by a blue sign. The trail is quite challenging in spots, so expect a workout on this hike.

This is the "Mr. Bill" cache. The cache is a rubber maid container with a red lid approximately 12 inches by 6 inches. "Mr. Bill" is the keeper of the cache. Please do not take "Mr. Bill", but feel free to take a photo of yourself and "Mr. Bill" with the disposable camera in the cache. When the camera is full we will post the photos here. There are a few other odds and sods in the cache for trading purposes. Don't forget to sign the log book.

The coordinates given are not for the cache, but for a clue to get you to the cache. We did this so that you will have to access the cache from the bottom instead of trying to scale down the escarpment from the Bruce Trail. Scaling down the escarpment is not only dangerous, but can harm the fragile environment.

In order to find the cache you have to first find a clue.

Follow the trail until you get to N43 11.569 W079 35.990 where you will find a sign. There is a date (year) on the sign that you have to divide by 2000. Subtract the answer from each of these coordinates: N43 12.642 W079 37.874 - like this:

N43 12.642 minus .XXX = N43 XX.XXX

W079 37.874 minus .XXX = W079 XX.XXX

The answer will give you the coordinates for the cache.

The cache contains "Mr. Bill", a log book, pencil and pencil sharpener, a disposable camera, some super-balls, some dinosaur sponges and some guitar picks.

BEFORE HEADING IN, STOP AND GET THE CLUE TO THE "OH DEER" CACHE AS WELL SO THAT YOU CAN FIND IT ON YOUR WAY TO FIND MR. BILL.

Good Luck.
