Geocache Description:

The following coordinates are for Stage 1. The fields between Stage #1 and #2 are Dog Friendly leash free fields.

This cache is a multi with a little bit of walking involved. Becareful with the math. Since this is a recycled container from Wild Willy, I decided this better not be a drive up cache. ;)

There is plenty of parking at the first trail head and a spot for a few cars at the second trail head. Either one is nicely accessible. 95% of the route is wheel chair accessible and on a paved path. Stage #2 and final are just off the path. If you can get a little help you should be able to do this cache.

Stage #1 This will take you to a plaque where you need to gather some information to find Stage #2. Record the numbers that have an existing building associated with it. Add them together and divide by 1000. Add this number to the following coordinates N43 14.867& W 079 04.094.

Stage #2 Count the number of vowels on the plaque (y was not included). Multiply by the number of stages of this multi and divide by 1000, then add them to the following: N43 15.033 & W 079 03.697 (Vowels X # of stages / 1000)

Stage #3 At this location there is another plaque. Make sure you have a pen and paper for this one to jot down some more numbers. Read through the plaque, either the English or French version but not both.You can ignore the date right at the bottom as well. Add all the numbers up as they are written. For example 2002-07 would be 2002+07. Take this number and drop the last digit. So you should have 4 digits instead of 5 and then divide by 1000. Add this number to the following coordinates: N 43 13.474 W 079 02.838.

Stage #4 - Behold the final!
