Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Wilson's Flats conservation area. Roadside parking is available at the trailhead on 8th Line for a couple of cars.  Enjoy your walk along the trail.

At the posted coordinates is the remains of a mostly-intact car.  One can only imagine how old it is (bonus points if you can identify the year/make/model, but there is enough evidence here that the car was domestically built).  Amidst all that rust, it is amazing that the chrome bumper is still shiny-like-new!  You will need to closely study the car to determine the re-direct to the final.  There is no need to touch the car or risk injury to collect the clues.

There's a partial rear licence plate. Let A represent the half the value of the last digit
Let B represent the number of drilled holes in the driver's side sun visor
Let C represent the number of tires still attached
Let D represent the number of wiper arms still attached
Find a small electric motor in the center engine compartment close to the windshield. Let E represent the numerical sum of the letter values (where A=1, B=2, ....Z=26) of the manufacturer's name on the casing
One of the doors has a chrome stripe with a part of the car's model name on it in large letters. Let F represent the number of letters you can see.
If the steering wheel is still attached then let G=72, if not then let G=1

Here is a geochecker to confirm you have got all the numbers right before you calculate your projection. Type your values for ABCDEFG into the checker.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.


To get to the final, project a waypoint bearing (A*B*F + G) degrees true for (A + B + C + D + 2*E + F + G) meters.
