Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!

THIS IS A MYSTERY CACHE – TO SOLVE YOU MUST OBTAIN THE CODES FROM A SERIES OF CACHES IN SHERWOOD PARK TO DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF THIS CACHE.

The Finish Line will be in sight – after you participate in three events that utilize the functions of your GPS receiver and a little work on the computer. To solve the coordinates for this cache you must visit all GPS Triathlon event caches and record their alpha numeric keys found on the lids of the containers.

The finish line is a medium sized cache container with room for small trade items – with a first to find prize.

To solve the coordinates for this cache – you will need to find the following caches:

GPS Triathlon – Coordinates (GC16N8P)
GPS Triathlon – Projection (GC16N8G)
GPS Triathlon – Intersection (GC16N9A)

Once you have collected the keys you will be able to substitute the key digit for the letter in the cache coordinates below.

The Cache is located at:

N 53 29.A0B

W 113 19.C1D

The cache is a camouflaged lock’n lock container well hidden in a forested area. You can get to about 40 m of the cache on a gravel path – first 25 m is a game trail – the last 15 m requires a fair bit of bush whacking. Please rehide the cache well.

Good Luck and Have Fun!
