Your journey will begin at the FALLEN ROCK Trailhead located at the posted coordinates. From here you will venture into the mystical African Jungle @ Geneva Park. Answering question and enjoying the nature walk. Are you ready?.........

~From the Posted coordinates (which is where you should be standing now) you have 2 things to look for.

1) What number is the cottage closest to the Trail head?

2) How many words does the Fallen Rock trail head sign have?

after you find the answers to these simple questions, its time to head down the trail to the next waypoint. after a little math......

N 44 40.(604 + Words on the sign)

W 079 21.(955 - Cottage number)

While your walking down the path lined with cedar trees along you will come to you next waypoint. Once you get to GZ you will have a couple more questions to answer.

1) What is the number on the pole you past just before you hit GZ?

2) How many 2x4 boards are used to construct the park bench you are sitting on?

Once again its time to break out the calculators to get the coordinates for your next waypoint.......

N 44 40.(768 + number on the sign)
W 079 21.(678 - number of 2x4's)

Now you should be on your way to your next challenge, enjoy the walk, take in the view and when you get to the Cross road turn left. Once you get to the next waypoint you will have one final question to answer. See you there!

I hope you enjoyed your walk to this neutral location, its will not be too long until you have the cache in hand. Once again you have a task. Look around for 2 poles with numbers on them. One Metal, One Wood. All you have to do for this waypoint is add the two numbers together, than add them to both the Latitude and longitude of the final set of coordinates. Ready?

N 44 40.(599 + The sum of both poles)
W 079 21.(610 + The sum of both poles)

Congrats on making it this far, by now you should be well on your way down the rest of the path and close to making the final find. We hope you enjoyed our 1st try at a Letter box cache and we had a lot of fun placing it.

You are encouraged to bring your own stamp (for signing the logbook) and your own personal logbook to collect an imprint of our custom stamp. Feel free to use your imagination when signing the log for yourself, or your team, if you do not have your own stamp.

Stamp and Inkpad are to remain in the cache, they are NOT swag.
