This mystery cache is a multiple choice British Columbia geography quiz. From each clue you must determine the name of the town. Out of the four choices, select the one which is closest to that town; its corresponding number is the answer.
For example, the clue is "Tough limb" and "Port Moody = 5, Vernon = 2, Fort St. John = 1, Bamfield = 9" are the choices. Tough limb means Armstrong, which is in the north Okanagan Valley. Armstrong is closer to Vernon than any of the other three, and Vernon = 2, so the answer is 2.
Once you've solved all fifteen, put the numbers together to form the final coordinates: N AB° CD.EFG W HIJ° KL.MNO will take you to ground zero.
