Geocache Description:

This is an offset multicache. Find the clues in each waypoint to determine the final coordinates of the cache. Long description required.

The cache is a small cache located in a large park at the heart of Burlington. There might be a few muggles nearby so try to be stealthy. There are a few toys and small items in the container. If you take something please leave something in return. Some simple math is required so it's a good idea to have a pen and paper handy.

Parking: These are the coordinates for parking

Question 1: Discover this wonderful oasis for your mind, body and soul in the heart of Burlington. Look for the ancient, geometric pattern that has a single path that leads into the centre and out again. Write down the year of the official opening of this landmark.

Question 2: Look for Lillian's tree at these coordinates. Find the names of the two people who donated this tree. Add together the number of letters in both first names of the donators and write them down

Question 3: Get "geared" up to find this monument that displays the test of the things this exclusive club's members think, say or do. Write down the year this monument was donated

To find the final coordinates to the cache add up the three numbers you have written down. The result should be a 4 digit number:

Take the first two digits and add it to the final three numbers of the North coordinate:

N 043º 20.367

Now take the last two digits and add it to the final three numbers of the West coordinate:

W 079º 47.466

After doing the math you should end up with the final coordinates of the cache. Good luck!

Update: There have been reports of possums making a home very close to the cache. A very kind cacher has posted a picture as well. Just to let people know, this is not where the cache is hidden, but be very careful when looking around as to not disturb the fuzzy ones!
