Coordinates above take you to the first of 5 stages including final. A nice walk along the shore of Cottle Lake in beautiful Linley Valley Park.
So what are the parts of a tree?
This cache has 5 stages including the final, the trail can be quite rugged in places, as well as muddy. I would recommend wearing long pants (some stinging-nettles) and good hiking boots or shoes that can get dirty.
You are given 4 sets of coordinates, at each there is a tree(see below) with a container within 50cm of it. Inside each container you will find information about that tree as well as a question to do with what is on that sheet. To find the final you must do some math :
Final Location:
N 49º 13. Answer to Question A + Answer to Question B + 3
W 123º 58. ((Answer to Question C + Answer to Question D) multiplied by 6 ) + 8
Trees:
Stage 1: Large white barked, starts with an A (small container)
Stage 2: Provincial Tree (small container)
Stage 3: Provincial Flower (small container)
Stage 4: On our National Flag (small container)
Final: Ammo Can
GPS signal can be very jumpy in the trees, so there is a spoiler picture for the final posted.
You can check your answers for this puzzle on

- Happy Caching, and Good Luck!
