This is the final cache in the Across Canada Series. The cache is not located at the above coordinates, but is within 2km of the final cache location.
In order to find this last cache, you will need to find all the provinces in the series and get the code in the top of the caches. Then take the code and crack the mathematical code below to find the final coordinates. You can try to figure out the code without going to the other caches, but you may be in for quite the challenge.
Below are the numbers associated with each letter to find the final location.
A 4392
B 5401
C 2848

The final location will involve using only those letters that were found in the provincial caches. All the other letters are omitted from the final location.
The final cache location can be found by solving the following mathematical question.
NorthPlus = (A + B + C + D + E + F + G) = ________
NorthMinus = (H + I + J + K + L + M) = ________
WestPlus = (N + O + P + Q + R + S + T) = ________
WestMinus = (U + V + W + X + Y + Z) = ________
NorthAdd = (NorthPlus-NorthMinus)/10
WestAdd= (WestPlus – WestMinus)/10
North Coordinate=NorthAdd + 43 31.033
WestCoordinate=WestAdd + 080 13.083
For those of you that like to take shortcuts, explore all of the possible permutations and combinations, walk the line, or whatever else you like to call trying to figure out the final solution without visiting all of the prerequisite caches, good luck, you will be hunting for a while.
