Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES. To find the location of this cache you must do a simple conversion of coordinates.

The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system is a grid-based method of specifying locations on the surface of the Earth. It is used to identify locations on the earth, but differs from the traditional method of latitude and longitude in several respects. The UTM system is not a single map projection. The system instead employs a series of sixty zones, each of which is based on a specifically defined secant Transverse Mercator projection.

Below are the UTM coordinates for the cache location:

E 349477
N 5933395

Convert into a format suitable for your GPS and your are ready to go – the cache is in Sherwood Park. You will need to determine which of the sixty zones the cache is located to do the conversion.

This cache is marked with a LETTER - NUMBER combination. MAKE NOTE OF THIS COMBINATION! Without it - you will NOT be able to cross the Finish Line (GC16N9J).

The cache is a camoflagued baking powder container – well hidden in a bit of forest.

While the path may be appealing – it is much easier to access this cache from the east. It would also will prevent the buidling of additional geotrails. This is a high traffic area – please rehide cache well.
