Chronologically this is the last of the series and I am sure it
rocks!
This is a 6 stage cache just off the LVT Trail. There is a well
maintained foot path here. Parking is located at either of two
locations. If you come in from the Prescott St parking, follow the
LVT trail until you find the entrance to this park.
The location you are at was the location of Thomas A. Ivey and
Sons Greenhouses. At one point in time this business was one of
Canada's largest wholesale florists and rose-grower.
Thomas A. Ivey
One of Canada’s leading florists in the early 20th century,
Thomas Ivey was born in Haldimand County and moved to Brantford,
where he entered the telephone business with William Alexander
Graham Bell. Later he embarked in the florist business, both as a
retailer and as a grower, and founded Thomas A. Ivey & Sons in
Port Dover, Ontario. He died on August 14th, 1915 in a car
accident.

You will find words at all locations except one. It will be
noted. To find the answer, convert each letter in the word and add
them all together.
EX. one=24+26+9=59
Then divide number by 1000 = .059
At each location you visit you will see an object. There are
inscriptions on each one. Each letter marked below is different
location. Figure one out, input the new coords and then move on to
the next location for the next set.
To find AA, use the second word addition formula above.
