Geocache Description:

An easy multi-stage puzzle cache in Almonte.

The cache is not located at the posted coordinates. It is located at:

N 45 (A-1)B.C W 076 D.E

The values of A through E will be found at the coordinates below:

A - N 45 13.162 W 076 12.388
B - N 45 13.231 W 076 12.253
C - N 45 13.713 W 076 10.948
D - N 45 13.522 W 076 12.271
E - N 45 13.885 W 076 11.278

The intermediate way points are all winter friendly, park and grab stops, but will involve an easy tour around Almonte.The cache is a camo'd match container suitably concealed in some trees, and is also winter friendly. The cache is close to a well established trail, and a fairly easy access to the cache will be found off the trail. Avoid wrecking bushes by heavy duty bushwhacking along the shortest route to the cache. Bring your own writing instrument.

No pictures of the intermediate waypoints or the cache please.

Note: Since the original posting, the number for A has had an out of service cover placed over it. Since this looks like a long term issue, the location for A has been changed, and since the new A has a different number the coordinate formula has been modified slightly. The changes should make it a bit easier.
