Geocache Description:




For fun, I decided to take a tour of all of our province's capital cities, and, interestingly enough, was able to get back to the actual coordinates of this cache in Ottawa by gathering some information along the way. Let me first of all show you some photos I took in each of these capitals.



1. Facing this time piece near a military parade square , I counted the number of windows in the bottom part of the 1803 time piece.

2. Wandering down Elphinstone Street, I passed by a large sports facility where a CFL team plays. DR the name of the facility (1 word).

3. While shopping at a "Things" store on Regent Street, I noticed a red phone number to my right as I left the store. DR of that number.

4. On the corner of Douglas and another street, I sat next to a beautiful church with a round circular window high up. I counted the number of petals in this window.

5. Exploring the neighborhood on New Gower Street, I noticed a building with a large flag painted on one of its sides. I took note of the bottom word on that flag. Its Dr.

6. At the renowned coldest and windiest intersection in Canada, I noticed an old bank. Date it was founded - dr that date.

7. As I was strolling down Water Street, I noticed a historic building built in 1868-69 that hosts social events. DR its name followed by The (2 words).

8. I love zoos. Off Meadowvale Road and within the zoo, I noticed a wall mural with a group of birds wearing tuxedos, all of them facing right. I decided to remember how many there were in the group.

9. On Dorchester Street, the name of a bar with an apostrophe, 5 letters total. DR of that number.

10. I crossed under a Chinese pagoda-shaped archway on 102 Northwest Avenue. Close by was a pharmacy - its name (1 word, DR)



In the equation below, you will need to replace the province's abbreviation with the DR derived from the letter of its capital's image (from A to J) + its capital's clue (numbers derived from clues 1 thru 10).




North = 45° 21.(PE + NS)(QB + BC)(MB - NS)




West = 075° 2(MB - ON).(AB - ON)(NL + NB)(SK)
