Geocache Description:

A fairly quick multicache/letterbox hybrid in a suburban park.

Go to the posted coordinates. They aren't the cache, only the correct park. For those of you who want to do this as a letterbox, the park is at the intersection of Tempe Knoll Dr and Tempe Glen Dr. in North Vancouver.

To find the cache you need to answer a few questions about the park.

First, look at the playground.
A = How many swingsets are there? (swingSETS, not actual swings)

What colour are the slides?
B = average of first and third letter in the colour (ie: a=1 b=2 etc.)

Now head west and find the path with the diamond shaped paving stones that heads uphill. At the base of the path are some blue posts.
C = the number of blue posts.

Finally,
D = C - A

There is a pond just behind you. Walk around it until you find the Happy Man. From the Happy Man head AB0 degrees magnetic (ie: if A was 1 and B 8, 180 degrees is your heading) for a distance of DB0 meters.

Cache is a massive ammo box that will hold pretty much any trade item you want. But please rehide it well, I don't know if I could find another like it. Also, please make sure when you put it back that it's upright. It's a little bit of a wiggle to get it into the hiding spot, but if it's upright then the contents will stay dry.
