THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!!!! Posted coords take you to the trailhead, where you will need to do a bit of Math (sorry.........gotta keep our minds sharp). It's only a 2 stager though, and the Math is simple.
BYO writing instrument.
OK....this is it!!! Only 600m to go until you hit the New Red Diamond Cache and then a power trail all the way north to Brantford. Phew!! My work is done, with #15 in time for the Ides......er “Hides” of March on March 15.
I know I said there were no tricks, but I couldn’t resist a bit of a challenge for my final fling. So here goes:
STAGE 1: at the trailhead - count the silver "spirals".
Then record the 911 numbers of the 2 houses closest to the trailhead.
STAGE 2: Do some math.
NORTH Coord: SUM of the #of spirals at trailhead + 911# of the house just east of trailhead. Checksum = 4
ADD to 43 03.442 + __ __ = N 43 03.__ __ __
SOUTH Coord: DIFFERENCE between # of spirals at trailhead and 911# of house southeast of (across the road) trailhead. Checksum = 6
SUBTRACT from 080 20.786 - __ __ = W080 20.___ ___ ___
That wasn’t too bad, was it? Have fun!! Watch out for THORNS near the cache site.
