Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the above listed coordinates. You must first figure out the REAL coordinates to “Quebec has Gargoyles?”. You will need a special tool to get this one and some dexterity. It is in “suburbia” but still beware of our slithery friends and of course muggles. PLEASE replace back in the same spot.


This is another SIMPLE puzzle all you have to do is pick correctly. Is it a Gargoyle or the Canadian Province Quebec? You should be able to do this on the fly.

A = Has one of the world's largest reserves of freshwater, which occupies 12% of its surface. (Quebec = 3, Gargoyle = 5)

B = The Dutch word for this is waterspuwer, which means "water spitter" or "water vomiter." (Quebec = 4, Gargoyle = 2)

C = Has a predominantly French-speaking population. (Quebec = 5, Gargoyle = 3)

W 121° 03.DEF

D = These are said to scare off and protect from any evil or harmful spirits. (Quebec = 2, Gargoyle = 4)
