Geocache Description:

Stage one will take you to a Burlington Public Art display.  Visit the posted coordinates to collected the necessary information for the final.  At the final, you are looking for a micro-sized pill bottle container.


Now a little bit about the art:

The art displayed here is called “Active Living in Burlington, Donna Grandin, 2015.

These murals explores the theme of “active living.” This theme resonated with the artist as she has happy memories of raising her kids in Burlington. Each of the four panels represents a memory of the artist: hiking at Mount Nemo, bike riding at Spencer Smith Park, baseball at Ireland Park and soccer at Sherwood Forest Park.

The Burlington Mural Program is designed to tell local stories using local artists. The 2015 program commissioned six small to medium-scale murals throughout the city, and were open exclusively to Burlington, Ont., artists.  

As with the other pieces in the art series, your opinion of the artwork is appreciated, but not necessary for the logging this cache.

Now to find the geocache:

To help with finding the coordinates for the final, give each art panel a number, 1, 2, 3, 4, from left to right

Final Coordinates:  N 43 22.ABC W 079 49.DEF

A = The Ireland Park panel number + the Sherwood Park panel number

B = The panel number with the red flowers (x2)

C = The panel with the Canadian flag in the background (x2)

D = The number of the panel showing hiking at Mt. Nemo

E = Number of people in the Ireland Park panel (Hint: dogs are not people, they are dogs)

F = The number of letters on the sign above the first panel.

You are ready to find the final!

Good Luck!
