Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed to welcome Howie to Lloydminster and is my way of saying "thanks" to the Lloyd caching community for the caches I've enjoyed while staying in the area helping to get Howie's new home ready. Howie's New Playground is a one-step multi-cache. At the posted coordinates you will need to find some information that can be used to do a couple of simple calculations which will lead you to the cache which is close by.




At the posted coordinates (WP1) you will see a metal structure that has a few numbers. As you stand on the sidewalk, on the left side of the structure you will find a four digit number. The same number is also hand written on the front.

Take the digital sum of this number and call it A. (Hint: the digital sum of 76 is 13).

The structure has three sections, each identified by a one digit number that can be found at the top of each section.

Find the one digit number on the second (middle) section and call it B.

Find the one digit number of the third section and call it C.

Each of the three sections of the structure has a barcode with a seven digit black number that is found near the bottom.

Find the digital root of the number on the bottom of the first section and call it D. (Hint: the digital root of 76 is 4)

The cache is at

N 53 15.(308 - [A * C])
W 110 01.D(D-B)B
