About the Series
This series will take you on a magical adventure fraught with
danger and filled with mirth. You will follow young Scruffy Skunk
as he leaves home on a quest for Aurora Island -- a mythical place
of magic and beauty.
The first six caches are designed to be done either by themselves
or as part of the series. If done individually, the difficulty
rating is moderate to high. However, most caches in the series
contain either a hint or a duty to perform for the next cache.
Follow the story closely and you could shave several kilometers of
uphill walking or subtract a difficult waypoint in a multi cache.
The rewards for following Scruffy's travels are great. The
terrain/difficulty ratings posted will be for the cache as a stand
alone quest. With hints from a previous cache (when given), expect
the difficulty to be dropped no less than 1.5 stars. Sometimes 2.
The remaining chapters will be puzzles. Although some puzzles will
be harder than others, all puzzles should be easy enough to be
solved by most members of the family
Additional hints for finding any given cache will also be found by
reading the current or previous chapters.
Good luck and enjoy.
About This Cache
This cache should be an easy find on Burnaby Mountain. There is
easy trail access directly to the cache. No need to bushwhack. The
cache is located right beside the trail.
There are several ways to solve the puzzle. If you have figured out
where the "temple" may be. Feel free to take a stroll in the lobby.
The "temple is open to the public during regular business hours.
From home, "temple" photographs are available online. One of many
photographs should make the puzzle clear. There are hints
throughout the story that give hints to the whereabouts of this
most impressive structure.
Chapter 8: Search for the
Temple
Rumour had
it that there was a grand temple built long ago in honour of
the First Dawn. It was still there for anyone that knew
where to look. But little Scruffy was at a
crossroads. In the old woman's stash, he found runes
exactly like the ones the oyster showed him. But they
made no sense.
The runes
were cemented in granite.
Scruffy knew that he had seen those
symbols in his youth. But where? Was the answer
to this most perplexing riddle was staring him in the
face. That blank spot was most
annoying.
But then he remembered what his
mama told him about the orgins of the First Dawn. The
concept of zero was always symbolized by a blank space.
But what about the other symbols? Whatever did they
mean?
