The original cache with the
same title was achieved as Fletcher Garden requested all caches be
removed from this area. Revisited has the same waypoints but a
different cache location. The bonus is you get to go back and find
it all over again.

The Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa
was established in 1886. Plans contemplated the formation of an
arboretum and botanic garden. Its purpose would be to bring
together all the native species of plants in Canada and to test the
hardiness and adaptability of shrubs and trees growing in northern
climates in other parts of the world to the climate of
Ottawa.
The actual work of the garden was begun in
1889, when 210 species were planted. In 1894 the arboretum and
garden included 1000 trees and nearly 200 species and varieties of
herbaceous plants, but by the close of the year 1895, these numbers
had been raised to 1800 and 1000, respectively.
Do you know who the first entomologist and
botanist was who developed “The Dominion Arboretum”?
You can find out at the posted coordinates. At this location you
will find a monument to this individual. On the north face of this
monument you will find two dates.
Subtract 658 from the last 3 digits of the
first date to obtain the decimal digits of WP2 north Coordinates
and subtract 640 from the last 3 digits of the second date to
obtain the decimal digits of WP2 West
coordinates.
At WP 2 you will find a plaque with
some other interesting information about this location. On this
plaque you will also find two dates.
Subtract 537 from the last 3 digits of the
first date to obtain the decimal digits of WP3 north Coordinates
and subtract 701 from the last 3 digits of the second date to
obtain the decimal digits of WP3 West
coordinates.
At WP3 you will find a Gingo Biloba tree
from China. On this tree there is a plaque with a 10 digits number
in the following format NNNNNNNNNN.
Subtract 678 from the first 3 digits of
this number to obtain a distance in meters and subtract 2049 from
the last 4 digits to obtain a TN projection in
Mils.
Go to the lookout which is about 28 meters
to the SE and enjoy the scenery as you make this projection from
here.
Now, go find the cache.
There is a FTF gift in the
cache!
