A visit with Mr George Brown Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

TheAwesomePenguins: The area where the final was placed was under construction for several months. I checked on it regularly, just forgot to write notes stating such. Unfortunately now that the construction is done, GZ has been altered to the point that I can no longer place a cache where the original was placed.

Archiving the cache. Thanks.
The Awesome Penguin

Geocache Description:

This multi stage cache will start at a plaque and end at the actual cache, located less than 1 kilometre away. Answer some questions based on information taken from the plaque, do some simple math and away you go. Cache is a small green tube that I won as a raffle prize at the Hides Of March VII.

Congrats to 13Coach13 and Greenthumb9 on the FTF. Parking is available close to both stages.

Are you ready?

For North: Find the answers to the coresponding Letters A, B, C. You will then ADD the answer from the NORTH coordinates listed at the top of the page.

A = The number of letters in THE second word of the plaque description (not including the name/date)

B = Number of letters in this gentlemans FIRST name

C = Number of times you see the number 6.

This will give you a 3 digit number (checksum 12). Divide this number by 1,000 and ADD to:

N43 08.704 + N43 08.ABC

 

For West: Find the answers to the corresponding letters D, EF. You will then SUBTRACT the answer from the WEST coordinates listed at the top of the page.

D = The number of times "Bow Park" is mentioned.

EF = Take the last 2 digits of the year he founded the Toronto "Globe", and multiply them together

This will give you a 3 digit number (checksum 9). Divide this number by 1,000 and SUBTRACT from:

W080 12.251 - 080 12.DEF

You now have the coordinates for the Final Cache stage. It is less than 1km from this location.
