Geocache Description:

To better appreciate your trip to Crysler, I thought a multi-cache would enhance your stay.

This quest will bring you around the town that John C. built. You are looking for a camoe'd extra large bison tube.  It is winter friendly.

The Battle of Crysler's Farm, fought on muddy ploughed fields beside the St. Lawrence River on November 11, 1813, was a crucial moment in the history of Upper Canada and marked the end of the most serious attempt to that time to invade Canada. By the end of the day the Americans, which greatly outnumbered the British and Canadian forces, had retreated and the battle was won.

In the late 1830's Colonel John moved north to the village of Crysler nestled on the banks of the South Nation River. In 1852, he died at Crysler Village and was buried in the St. John's Anglican Cemetery.

To find the cache, complete the steps required.

The below waypoints will bring you to different areas where you will have to search out the answers to the clues. Collect all the numerical answers, add them together to give you a five digit number. Use the last three digits.

To this new number, add 353 to the minute portions to get the North coordinates and substract 183 to obtain the minute portion of the West coordinates, giving you N 45 12.NNN and W 075 09.WWW. Welcome to Crysler.
