Episode 1 Review:

  • "This is one of the wonderful things about geocaching; it takes you to new places that you didn't realized existed, in this case, in my own community." - waxwing454 (FTF)
  • "Thanks dave_laf for putting out this fun puzzle and for adding some fun to my day." - buddysally




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attention: The following [unofficial] objectives must be meet in order to claim this find :

  • Find the deceased Transformer at the posted coordinates. (Note: Nothing at the posted coordinates is actually required in order to solve the riddle and find the final cache. I just want people to see the Transformer at the starting coordinates - which you cannot miss)
  • Solve the riddle to find the lost Energon Cube (and then sign it)
More details below...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A great battle was fought here, but unfortunately this particular Autobot didn't make it...

During the battle, he lost his Energon Cube, which you must find and sign.

You must start your journey at at the posted coordinates (N 45° 17.321' W 075° 50.359') and pay your respects to the downed Autobot (pictures of the deceased Transformer are highly encouraged - but that is all). To find the location of the lost Energon Cube (container), you must navigate from the posted coordinates to the following coordinates (after solving the riddles):

N 45° 17.(A-2)(B+3)(C+1)' W 075° 50.(D-1)(E-3)(F-4)'

A Transformers homeworld planet.
B Enemy faction of the Autobots. (plural and not singular)
C The most popular leader of the Autobots.
D The most popular leader of the <answer_for_B> .
E Most popular American toy company that made transformer toys.
F High-ranking. Can turn into a jet. Often known to "fail" <answer_for_D>.

(See the hints section for help if you are stuck. Also feel free to contact me if you want to confirm your answers before you head out...)


Note: There are 3 trail entrances along Scissons Road. Do not enter the forest from Old Richmond Road.

Be sure to private message me if you know of any other undiscovered Autobot burial grounds (old cars or random scraps of metal) in, or near, Ottawa ;) - and don't forget to 'favorite' these if you are enjoying the series.
