Geocache Description:

Come enjoy a great walk in one of Burnaby's nicest parks.

A watershed (or drainage basin) is an extent of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea or ocean. The watershed includes both the streams and rivers that convey the water as well as the land surfaces from which water drains into those channels.

The drainage basin acts like a funnel, collecting all the water within the area covered by the basin and channelling it into a waterway. Each drainage basin is separated topographically from adjacent basins by a geographical barrier such as a ridge, hill or mountain, which is known as a water divide.

To find the final location for this multi-cache, you will have to go to the above coordinates and answer a few questions.

1) Number of birds in total can be found in the painting?
Let the number of birds = AB.

2) Number of different bird species seen?
Let the number = C.

3) Number of viewing platforms seen?
Let the number = D.

4) Number of people you can see?
Let the number = E.

4) What is the number on the nearby birdhouse?
UPDATE: Birdhouse may be missing now. The number was 137.
Let the number = FGH.

Use the values obtained to solve the following puzzle.

49°1(F+G).A(C+D)F
122° 5(F+H).(H+E)(D+E)C

Good Luck.
