This is a multi-cache with 5 stages revolving around the Rally of the Tall Pines race that takes place in the Bancroft region each November. It's an exciting race and more information can be had at http://www.tallpinesrally.com/
Please print this information and bring with you. There are 5 stages which require you to gather information to figure out the coordinates to the next stage.
Start at 45 04.220 77 51.765. You'll find yourself in Bancroft. Home to the Tall Pines Rally. This will require at least an hour or so to complete if not more.
Your 2nd stop is located at:
N 45' 0C.B0B"
W 77' 49.A3B"
A = Look at the coffee shop across the street. Take the second word in the name and count the letters in the word. That is A.
B = Now look for the Centre Lane Sign. See it? How many letters are in the third word? That is B
C = Now, how many arrows are in the same sign? That is C
You should now have the coordinates for your second point.
---------------
You are now located adjacent to one of the racing stages. It's a very popular stage with locals and is located in the field nearby. It is also the shortest stage of the race.
Your next 3rd stop is located at:
N 45' E3.E1F"
W 77' 47.3D7"
D = See the Mapleton Pancake House sign? There is a Highway listed. What is the first number of the highway listed?
E = How many Cuban flags do you see waving in the air looking around?
F = You'll also see a sign on a post saying _______craft. How many letters in that sign?(Hint: it's the sign that's about 15 or 20 feet high)
You now have the coordinates for the third point.
---------------
You're now on a road where another spectator stage is located at. These are the roads that are used for the rally. Drivers typically come flying around the corners and up and down these hills. I don't recommend you try driving at their speeds.
Your fourth point is located at:
N 44' HG.GiG"
W 77' 4G.Hi2"
Do you see a street marker sign with the roads Thibadeau and Bronson(which you should be on) marked? Look at this sign.
G = First, look at the Thibadeau sign. What is the third number on the sign?
H = Now look at the Bronson sign. What is the 5th number?
i = Now look at the 3rd number on the Bronson sign. It is i.
You should now have the coordinates to the fourth point.
---------------
The 4th stage is the longest drive. It's located on another twisty, turny road. One that offers a fairly long stage for drivers in the race. Races can be won and lost on roads like this.
Your next and final point is located at:
N 4J' LL.8NG"
W 77' KG.1KM"
You'll need a list of the previous letters to help with this one too!
J = Look at the bridge nearby. On each side are railings with posts. How many posts are on a single side?
K = Now you should also see a sign on the road talking about the scenic route. How many clouds are in the picture at the top of the sign?
L = On that same sign. How many Z's are located in the text?
M = And how many L's are in the text?
N = Finally, how many letters are in the first word?
This will give you the coordinates to your final destination.
Enjoy this cache and the ride. And you may enjoy watching the intense racing at the Rally of the Tall Pines in November!
