Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed for the SAW5 event and should not be sought until after 7pm August 15, 2014


Many years ago there was a beautiful princess named Snow White. She was so beautiful that her wicked stepmother (what's new?) who was jealous of her, chased her out of the castle. Snow escaped into the woods and came upon a small house with 7 tiny beds hiding in an opening.

The little house was pretty messy so Snow took it upon herself to clean the little house and make the little beds. This made her so tired that she fell alseep in front of the roaring fire.

When the seven occupants of the tiny house came home they were surprised to find a beautiful young lady sleeping in the front room. (Who wouldn't be?)

They were so taken with the fine job she did cleaning up the house for them that immediately fell in love with her. When Snow White awoke, she was surprised to find herself surrounded by seven Dwarfs.

She told them her story and they vowed to protect her from the wicked stepmother and they ALMOST lived happily ever after.

But the wicked stepmother had a mirror that was a "rat fink" and the mirror squealed on Snow White. The wicked stepmother (Who was also a witch, what else is new?) mixed a sleeping potion and injected it into an apple. She then disguised herself as an old woman and went into the woods to find the house of the seven Dwarfs.

When she got there she rapped on the door and Snow White looked through the peephole to see this poor little old lady standing ourside the door.

She forget that she wasn't supposed to open the door for anybody but the seven Dwarfs so she let the old lady in. When the old lady showed her the apple she had brought, Snow white was so taken with the apple that she took a big bite of it and immediately fell alseep.

Now an editorial note here: This also happened to Sleeping Beauty and Adam and Eve supposedly had an encounter with an apple too so, the moral is, don't be too ready to eat an apple!

Anyway, to continue. When the seven Dwarfs came home they were very sad to find that Snow White was in a deep deep sleep (that meant they had to fix their own dinner!).

When they couldn't waken her, they realized that someone had put a major hex on the lady. They laid her out in a glass enclosure (who knows why?) and looked after her as best they could.

One day, Prince Charming drove past in his great White Charger and he spied Snow White just lying there. Always willing to take an opportunity like that, he jumped out of his car and gave her a kiss.

Well, that broke the spell. Snow White woke up and immediately fell in love with the handsome Prince Charming. The Dwarfs were so happy for her that they gave Prince and Snow permission to get married.

Well, you'd think the story would end here wouldn't you? Well, it didn't

Prince and Snow Charming didn't live happily ever after like you thought. Prince was willing to jump out of his Charger everytime he found a beautiful young lady asleep beside the road so, Snow filed for, and received a divorce. She fled back to the seven Dwarfs who vowed to hide her and keep her safe from her Ex.

Well, many years have passed and Snow Charming (nee White) is living somewhere in Medicine Hat!

She isn't at the coordinates given (those are just to keep Prince Charming out standing in the field - literally)

Each of the seven Elderly Dwarfs (this was many years ago so they have aged and gotten some elderly traits) has a set of two numbers which, when added up will give you the final coordinates for Snow Charming (nee White) and you must visit each of them to get the complete set.

If you were born after 1990, ask you parents about Snow White and if you graduated from high school after 2000, bring a calculator, you will have some arithmetic to do!

Maybe bring a note pad and pencil too!

 

Snow Charming's little house can be found by adding up the N numbers (N1 to N7) and the W numbers (W1 to W7) and applying them to the following formula: N 50 0(N1+N2+N3+N4+N5+N6+N7) W 110 4(W1+W2+W3+W4+W5+W6+W7) (Don't worry, you will end up with 4 numbers, plug them so they look like a normal set of coordinates.)
