Geocache Description:

This is a night only geocache! It must be done after dark. The trail will not be visible during the day.

 The trail to the final location will take you all around the grounds of the former Saskatoon Sanatorium for tuberculosis, demolished in 1989.

 

 


Before you head out to the cache, here's a little homework for you:

Ringo Starr, Vivien Leigh, and Doc Holliday all had this in common at one time in their lives. As a result, Doc did a lot of this before he died.

****Remember your answer!!! You will need it!****

You will need to bring a few items with you as well:

-a flashlight

-a pen

-a clipboard or other solid surface

-a UV flashlight (This is a must!!!) (I found one at the Liquidation Supercenter, 2333 ave.C North, Saskatoon. Called a spy pen)

 

Follow the start coordinates to the starting point, and from there, facing into the park, hold your flashlight at eye level and search for a reflector. When you find it, go to that point and look for the next reflector, and continue to do that. If you come across two reflectors together, look for a box hidden close by containing a puzzle. The combination to get into the box containing the puzzle is 1-2-2. Please relock it afterwards. This puzzle has gone missing once already. You will need to complete the puzzle to go on. Follow the instructions on the completed puzzle and then continue to follow the reflectors. There are 2 puzzle boxes like this on the trail. Be prepared! I suggest you bring along a solid surface such as a clip board or a binder to work on. You will also need a UV flashlight  to see the clues on the puzzles.

You will know you've reached the final location when you find a different color reflector. There you will find an ammo can chained to a tree. The can is locked. Use combination 2 - 2 - 2 to open the can. Please be careful not to leave too much of a geotrail! I don't want this muggled!

Inside the can there is one more puzzle to solve to reach the logbook and claim this cache as found. (**Do you remember your homework??**)

Please replace as found and mix up all puzzles/combinations when you are done. This is not a cache for eveyone. it will take you time. I figure about an hour and a half. The difficulty rating comes from the puzzles. The actual terrain might be a little more slippery if muddy. Use caution.

 

Good luck and please leave a log telling me about your adventure!
