Geocache Description:

An easy stroll in downtown Kingston to practice using some advanced navigation features. Finding a nano is pretty easy for the Kingston Area Geocachers so I added this simple twist. If you do not know how to project a waypoint with your GPS, read up before you leave home!!!

The posted coordinates are NOT of the actual cache itself but is the location of a neat place to find the clues needed to determine the location of this nano-sized cache. (so even if you have trouble finding the nano...you come away having discovered someplace neat!)

Project a waypoint to the nano which is located at: ABC degrees (from TRUE North, not MAGNETIC North) and DE metres from the posted coordinates where:

A is the last digit in the year the stonemasons did their work here (finding the plaque is more difficult after a heavy snow!)
B is the number of petals on a brickwork flower minus two
C is the number of items "hung out to dry"
D is the number of letters in the word represented by the first letter in the acronym "BMO"
E is the third digit in the year the stonemasons did their work here

Checksum: A+B+C+D+E=14

Bonus points if you can find the dragonfly and the grasshopper!

Congratulations to hypocorism...you were the First to Find!
