Geocache Description:

*** The cache is not at the posted co-ordinates. ***

This is the first in a series of Field Puzzle caches in which I have chosen to reuse a collection of things that I cannot bear to be seen thrown in the landfill. So long as you are not color blind, can count and can do very simple math, you will be able to solve the field puzzles with ease.

I have always been an enthusiastic proponent of reducing, recycling and reusing and do my best to encourage others to participate. A visit to the local landfill when I was a member of the City of Fredericton’s now defunct Composting Committee was a real eye opener. Everyone should go to the landfill on a tour to get a good understanding of why we should do our best to recycle and reuse and keep from sending things to the “garbage” stream unnecessarily.

Make your way to the posted co-ordinates where you will find the materials required to solve the field puzzle and determine the real co-ordinates of the cache.

It is located at N45 56.whitegoldgreen
W66 45.bluepurplered

There is a certificate and an unactivated Maritime Mega II coin as a prize for the FTF.

Congratulations to dracula476 with yet another FTF made in pitch darkness. Kudos to this creature of the night who had the gumption to wander out at such an hour after a field puzzle. Good thing it was as easy as I promised !
