Air Waves Multi-Cache

The station, which at one point housed approximately 500 residents, has long since been torn down, with some buildings being relocated. The location is now a reserve with lots of wildlife including many bald eagles.  It is also an off-leash dog park, and a popular location for film sets.  While we were planning this, a scene for Supernatural was being filmed. If you haven't done so already, this will also take you nearby all of the other most excellent caches in the area.

To obtain the way point coordinates you will have to locate information at each one in order to determine the next. To do so, locate the answers needed at each spot and then complete some math if required. Note that some answers are found at locations other than information boards.

In addition, to determine the final coordinates you'll also need to gather one piece of information from each of the eight way points along the route. Check each stage to see what additional info is needed before moving on, as if you don't, you'll end up doing two circuits. I'd recommend something to take notes. The difficulty reflects the many stops you'll have to make to acquire information.

The first stage is at the posted coordinates.

Questions for Virtual Waypoints:
Stage 1 (Coordinates for next stage: N49 05.0A8 W123 01.0B5) A = Last Digit from the year the RCAF vacated Boundary Bay Airport B = Second Digit of Sigmn's numeric ID #

(Stage 1 is temporarily the sign at the blue Pit Stop N49° 05.017 W123° 01.320)

A = First Digit of bylaw #, B = First Digit from 2 digit number on the last line of text on the sign

Stage 2 (Coordinates for next stage: N49 05.C15 W123 00.9D2) C = # of Cars parked at Sewage Pump House D = 'You Are Here'

Stage 3 (Coordinates for next stage: N49 05.0E5 W123 00.68F) E = # of types of housing depicted in the Map schematic + # of people in front of the house in bottom photograph F = # of Inspectors in Team + # of doors visible in the building shown in the second from the top image

Stage 4 (Coordinates for next stage: N49 05.0G W123 00.H89) G = 6th letter in the first word [numeric equivalent] H = Total # of letters in 3rd and 5th words combined

Stage 5 (Coordinates for next stage: N49 05.01I W123 00.89J) I = # of letters in the building name J = # of chapels multiplied by # of mess' described in the text

Stage 6 (Coordinates for next stage: N49 04.99K W123 01.0L0 K = Which war did the hangar originate that was used as a skating rink L = # of letters in baseball team name - # of children on merry-go-round

Stage 7 (Coordinates for stage 8: N49 05.11M W123 01.0N0 M = # of chimneys in top image N = # of teachers named + highest grade taught in school (2nd paragraph).

Questions for Final GZ:
Stage 1:  Day the pass was issued

(Stage 1 is temporarily the largest sign at the Pit Stop N49° 05.017 W123° 01.320): 

Quantity of straight N/S streets shown on the map (inside the red border) + 9

Stage 2:  Number of photos

Stage 3:  Add all the Years stated [note: exclude 2010 the year the City placed the info boards]

Stage 4:  Multiply number of letters in each of the first four words; 1st x 2nd x 3rd x 4th

Stage 5:  Number of hours fire crew is on call

Stage 6:  # of people in top two images

Stage 7:  Last two digits of year school opened

Stage 8:  Number of bricks in either of the posts

Final GZ Calculation:

Coordinates: N49 0[X], W123 0[Y]

X = Calculate the following: S3 - S4 - (S1 x S2)
Y = Calculate the following: S5 + S6 + (S7 x S8)

BYOP. Enjoy!

UPDATE: [30/Aug/2020] Cache final has been relocated a short distance for better security. Letterbox style ending - Once you reach the final as per the above (you'll know you are there as you are at tree on the edge of the field (there is a spoiler photo in the gallery)... walk approximately 45 paces west along a trail (passing an old piece of farm machinery as you go), then walk approximately 20 paces south.
