This cache is being placed as a tribute to, Brian of BrianDiane. This highly esteemed, infamous fellow has given us numerous hours of entertainment with his many caches. Thank you Brian, we really appreciate your awesome contribution to our Ottawa geocaching community.



Brian's puzzles, 613 GC63726 , is really fun. 613 has grown up a bit and now has two main areas of interest: body building and geocaching. Yes, indeed, he is a big fella now; steroids tend to do that to one.



Here are some rules to help guide you through this puzzle.


1. Every row and column in this grid, when completed, should contain 2 unfilled squares and 4 cache type symbols: one traditional, one multi, one letterbox and one earth, although not necessarily in that order.

2. Every symbol with a BLACK arrow, refers to the first of the four geocaching symbols encountered when travelling in the direction of the arrow.

3. Every symbol with a WHITE arrow, refers to the second of the four geocaching symbols encountered in the direction of the arrow.

4. To avoid any confusion, when asked to find the Digital Root, these are the words to use: traditional, multi, earth, letterbox and unfilled.

5. Once you have filled in the grid, you will be asked to Digital Root, what you find located in a specific box.

6. Assume N45 17. and W075 50.
