Under a blanket... Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Tim Bits: The time has come to archive this one.
The area has changed drastically and the cache can not be hidden well.
On the up side, the area is currently cleaned up of most of the trash that used to be in the woodlot!
Thanks to all that visited!

Geocache Description:

It's funny how snow can hide things....  I originally placed this cache in the winter - February 14 to be exact - I had snow up over my boots when I made the hike!
I thought to myself - "How can no one have found this spot yet?"

 


I then went on to completely and utterly forget about this hide - a waypoint on my GPS that never got looked at again... until I was driving by late this summer and had an "AH HA" moment!  I managed to get back to this location just recently to see if my container had held up over this time. I was utterly disappointed at the amount of trash that has been left or blown into this location.  crying

I tried to figure out how to still use this location and the best I could do was make this a puzzle cache about garbage!!

I have provided a link to the Niagara Region Waste Management site - that will help you for most of the questions!

So here we go!

 Assume that we are only looking for the final three numbers of the North and West coordinates. N 43 06.ABC W 079 05.DEF

A - look for the missing number (X) to contact Waste Management “905-35X-4141”

B - look for the missing number (X) in the max height limitation for alternate blue box container – “X1 cm”

C - number of people in the alternative rock band GARBAGE

D - look for the missing number (X) in the phone number for Large Item/Appliance Collection for Niagara Falls "1-833-621-0X26"

E - look for the missing number (X) in the maximum weight in pounds for acceptable Grey Box Alternate Containers – “X0 lbs”

F - look for the missing number for a single family home garbage tag costs in Niagara? $X.50

You are looking for a test tube container. Good luck!
