Geocache Description:


THE GEOCACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. This is, however, your starting location.

Have you ever wanted to REALLY get to know Granville Island, to see the nitty-gritty, to explore places that you only had heard of? Well, this Mystery Walkabout will provide for you this exact opportunity.

To complete this Mystery Walkabout and ultimately sign the logbook, you'll need to complete the following steps, in order:

1. Locate a "Map of Granville Island" (issued by CMHC Granville Island) - there are many ways of acquiring such an item. You do need a physical, printed map issued by CMHC Granville Island. A print-out will NOT do.

2. Check out the photos in the Image Gallery. There are 7 photos that were all taken somewhere on Granville Island.

3. Find these locations and mark them on your map. Also note the digit that has been blocked out in the picture - this is vital information. Head to the given coordinates - this is where you will begin your search. At this location, take note of the 3rd digit on the black mailbox on the building across the street. This will be needed in addition to the aforementioned numbers. Also mark this location on your map.

4. Use the following poem to piece together the clues you have:

"You've travelled far and wide across this land,
Fuse the points naturally, it is my command,
Another point will reveal itself to you, most grand,
Go through this point and flip the terrain, I demand,
The cache's ground zero is nearly at hand."

 
Additional helpful advice:

a. A bright light such as the sun may aid you while completing the last steps of the poem.

b. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me (Trexzer) via the Message Centre should you encounter any troubles with the poem, I want this cache to be found.


Cache was originally created by Rough Draft, the puzzle has been updated after a new printing of the map.
