Geocache Description:


Photobucket

 

This cache is part of the "Ultimate Puzzle Cache" which is a cache that I'm working on. It is not yet finished. You may complete this cache before the "Ultimate Puzzle Cache" is published, just keep your answers and solutions to be sure that you are able to complete the "Ultimate Puzzle Cache" when it is finished.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cache is in a black film canister. Bring your own pen(cil). Parking is available at the McLean Centre.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To find this cache you must input the following sets of coordinates into a program like Google Earth or another waypoint vizualizer.  You will then be able to connect the dots (the co-ordinate points and figure out numbers that the points make.  For added fun, the first co-ordinate (highlighted) in each set will show you a cool or mysterious place if viewed in Google Earth.  If using Google Earth, you can copy and paste the text into the search box instead of having to type it in one number at a time.  Make sure that you keep all negative signs and zeros intact as it could change the location if they are altered.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When these sets of co-ordinates are plotted and joined, they will form three seperate numerals (A, B & C).  Add the sum of these numerals to the NORTH decimal minutes: (Each line is a separate set of co-ordinates)

         NUMERAL A                                            NUMERAL B                                                  NUMERAL C

When these sets of co-ordinates are plotted and joined, they will form three separate numbers (X, Y & Z).  Put the numbers together in order to make a three digit number and add this to the WEST coordinates (ie: if X=9; Y=4; Z=1:  you would add 941 to the West co-ordinates.).

         NUMERAL X                                        NUMERAL Y                                               NUMERAL Z

This will give you the co-ordinates to the cache.  It is easily accessed by car and there is substantial parking nearby.  Going by bike or by foot is also a great option.

 

Have Fun,

Kyle
