Geocache Description:

Cache is located within 1km of the posted coordinates. I have included a parking waypoint for your convenience. Puzzl-ED is a series of easy to solve unknown caches, for everyone. Cache is a camo'd preform container, that has a logbook. Please replace as found. Parking can be found at the posted coordinates. Now for the puzzle:

The posted coordinates will bring your to an informational sign about Dragonflies & Damselflies. You will do a simple projection from this sign in order to find the cache.

Read the last paragraph on this sign. There are two numbers. Take the number of species of these insects in North America, and subtract 372. Call this number A. Next, take the number of species of these insects in the Hamilton area and subtract 48. Call this number B.

Here's how to find the final. You will need to project a waypoint at a bearing of A degrees, at a distance of B meters.

For those of you who have never projected a waypoint, I found a great video at (visit link) Please note that all GPS units are slightly different but the basic way of accomplishing this task are very similar, if not the same.

Congratulations to foam follower on the FTF!
