Geocache Description:

Cache is not at posted coordinates. Please note parking area for the final location. This is a puzzle cache which will require you to travel to several different locations in the area and record your observations. You will use the information from your journey to solve the puzzle. It is going to take a bit of driving, and quite a bit of time. One mistake could put you very far off course, so I have included a solution checker.

YYZ is the airport code of the airport in Toronto. The rock band Rush is from Toronto! YYZ is the name of a rocking instrumental by Rush! The song begins with a rhythm that is indeed the letters YYZ in morse code. Awesome. In tribute to my favorite rock band, I have created this puzzle cache which will require the geocacher to decipher morse code in order to solve for the missing variables. The cacher must travel to certain locations and gather information. You will get a nice little tour of Kodiak along the way. Crank up the Rush! I would suggest a pen, paper, and a good amount of free time. Morse code translation tools are available online. The actual geocache is located at the following coordinates:

57 AB.10(c+3) N 152 D(c+d+f).(a+e)(f+d-1)0 W. (Do not perform algebraic calculations)
