Don't Eat The Rhubarb! Traditional Geocache

This cache will require you to visit the former townsite of Bankhead, Alberta. Here you will find the necessary information required in order to locate a cache hidden nearby. Depending on the route you take, of course, the total round-trip walking distance should be well under 3km.

Your first stop is the parking lot at the posted cache coordinates of N51 13.965 W115 31.353. From here, follow the trail down to the townsite. You will have to wander the area and keep on the look-out for plaques - some big and some small. From those plaques, you will find various numbers you need to use in a formula. Pay close attention - make sure you check every plaque! Once you do the math in the formula, you'll have the actual cache coordinates!

The cache container is a typical square tupperware-style with a clear body and clear lid.

The initial contents are as follows:

• A few postcards
• Some 'Canada' souveniers
• Two orange safety whistles
• A buffalo

And of course...

• A log book
• A pencil!

If you're interested in more than the basic tour on the groomed trails, feel free to explore the area further. You will find lots of debris from the former townsite. Pictures posted with your cache log would be most welcome! Be aware that you may not remove or disturb the debris as Bankhead is a historical site protected by law! Have fun!
