Geocache Description:

Episode 4 Review:

  • "Thanks to this cache I discovered a really nice collection of trails." - Rhinograde

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

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 and unfortunately this Autobot fell by the hands of the Decepticons.

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° 16.746' W 075° 47.862') 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° 16.(A+4)(B-7)(C)' W 075° 47.(D+6)(E-2)(F-9)'

A = Hey that is me in the background fighting my only worthy opponent

B = Noah would be proud

C = Dog Fort Maximus

D = Alpha Superior... wait, that is not it...

E = Much bigger than a metro_politan du_plex

F = Base or arachnid, it is hard to tell...



Note: The total hike to find the Transformer and the cache, and to then make your way back to the car is somewhere between 3 - 4 km.

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.
