Geocache Description:

A puzzle cache hidden as part of the 10th Annual Vancouver Island Hide and Go Cache - HAGX.


The cache is NOT at the published coordinates so don't go there! Cache is about 340 metres away, close to a trail through the woods. To find the location N 48 27.ABC and W 123 18.DEF, you must solve the puzzle below.

Translate the English words into Latin, identify the selected letter. Then convert that letter to a number where a =1, b =2.. j =10.. z = 26, etc. Take the last digit only, so j becomes 0 and z becomes 6.

Motto of a local place = - - - - - r   - - b - - ; 5th letter of first word = A.  

Mountainous nation = - - - f - - - e - - - i -   - - - - e - - - -; 6th letter of second word = B.

Lost? = - -    - - - - ; second letter of first word = C.

Motto of a Latin American capital = - e - - u - - -   - e - - i - ; third letter of first word = D.

Motto of a local place = - - - p - -   - - b - - ; last letter of first word = E.

When hiding a cache, this may be a problem = - - - -   - - - - ; third letter of first word = F.
