Geocache Description:

As Chil, I hate mystery (puzzle) caches as much as my friend Baloo does!


Chil:  Listen Mowgli, I have told you all about Hamiton's  145 waterfalls. How much do you remember?

Mowgli: I remember it all, Chil. You and Baloo have taught me well!

Chil: We shall see Mowgli, we shall see. We are sitting here, overlooking Spencer Creek, which is in Flamborough. How many waterfalls are there in the Spencer Creek watershed area?

Mowgli: There are 43 waterfalls in the Spencer Creek watershed area. Furthermore, Chil, there are  8 creeks that make up the Spencer Creek Watershed. They are in the Flamborough, Ancaster and Dundas areas. 

Chil: Very good Mowgli! How many waterfalls are there on Spencer Creek itself?

Mowgli: That is too easy, Chil. There are 5 of them. 

Chil: Very impressive, Mowgli. You learn well. I will have to make the questions tougher. How many waterfalls in the Flamborough Area of Hamilton?

Mowgli: There are 47 of them although not all of them flow year round. Many dry up in the summer.

Chil: Very good  Mowgli! Ok here is a toughie. How many waterfalls are on Hannon Creek on Hamilton Mountain?

Mowgli: There are 2, Chil. Hannon Cascade and Billy Monkley Cascade. Baloo put treasures there for me to find too!

Chil: You are too smart there, Mowgli. OK  here is an even harder question. How many waterfalls are in the Glanbrook area of the city?

Mowgli: Why would I want to go there? There are 0 waterfalls there. Land is too flat.

Chil: Very good! I thought I would stump you! Changing the subject, Mowgli have you ever golfed before?

Mowgli: No I haven't but adjacent to Hamilton's Chedoke Golf course there are 18 waterfalls. Many easy to see along the radial trail that passes through the area.

Chil: I can't stump you at all Mowgli. You have been taught well! I have hidden a treasure for you to find now. Think you can find it?

Mowgli: Sure I can! Where is it?

Chil:  Here are your clues:

North # of falls on the Spencer Creek Watershed     # of falls adjacent to Chedoke Golf Course less 2 . # of falls on Spencer Creek itself # of falls in Flamborough plus 2

West # of creeks that make up the Spencer Creek Watershed # of waterfalls in Glanbrook # of waterfalls in Glanbrook # of falls on Hannon Creek. #of waterfalls in Hamilton less 36 

Mowgli: I think I see it, Chil! Thanks for making it so easy for me! I have my own pencil so I can sign in... Cache container is large orange bison tube. Should be easy to spot if you have the right coordinates. Wow.. congrats to Foam Follower for FTF He must be as smart as I am!
