A quick 2 stage multi with easy terrain and very little walking.
Park at the offices of the Sooke Town Hall (collocated with the Fire Department). Walk over to the listed coordinates. There you will find a wonderful statue of a worker from yesteryear building the historic pipeline. You will also see a series of signs describing some of the history. Time to get reading....
A = How long was the pipeline (a 2-digit number)? Add the 2 digits together for this answer.
B = Find the name "John Krug" On that panel, there is a picture. How many men are in that photo?
C = How old was Albert Wilson when hired as a cooks helper (2 digit number)? Drop the first digit and you'll have the answer.
D = There is a picture with 3 small locomotives. What is the only number visible on these locomotives? Double this and add one for the answer.
Once you have these answers, make the substitutions to the following:
48 22.9AB
123 43.9CD
There, you should find the cache. Cache is within easy walking distance, so if you think you need to drive, re-check your numbers!
