This is a simple multicache hunt. It was set for Tick and Nammie's event cache "Go and Get Em!!!!". It should take less than an hour to complete from the first waypoint.
Waypoint 1 is a 5 inch tree and it is located at N45 21.287 W075 40.380 . There you will find 4 numbers written on the black tag.
The first number is the number of minutes for the North coordinate of Waypoint 2 (the degree portion is N45).
The second number is the number of minutes for the west coordinate of Waypoint 2 (the degree portion is W75).
The third number is the distance (in kilometres to 2 decimal places) to the cache from Waypoint 1.
The fourth number is the distance (in kilometres to 2 decimal places) to the cache from Waypoint 2.
(About 12 meters away from the black tag is a 6 inch diameter tree with 2 copper tags showing the same numbers on them. These tags were added (31 May 2003) as backup to the numbers on the original (now gone) yellow box.)
It is not necessary to go to Waypoint 2 in order to locate the cache. There is nothing of interest at Waypoint 2.
The cache lies on a circle whose centre is at Waypoint 1; it also lies on another circle whose centre is at Waypoint 2.
Therefore, it is at one of two intersections of these circles. If you arrive at the wrong intersection you will find nothing. The other intersection is less than 10 minutes walking time away.
Once there, look for a red dymo tag with white numbers on it. The first group is the decimal Northing, the second the decimal Westing of the cache some 12 metres away.
Since most GPS units give distances only to 2 decimal places (not any more though), there is an additional 10 metre uncertainty to the cache location for this one. You may have to search a little bit more than usual.
The cache container is a green PB container, hanging in a tree.
PLEASE do not include spoilers in your logs. Logs with spoilers will be deleted immediately. If you believe there are any problems with the cache setup, please advise me privately by e-mail so that CCC may fix them if necessary.
