The cache:
Parking is available at N43°37.694' by W79°44.032' which can only be accessed via '2nd Line' off of 'Old Derry Road'.
Stage 1 (Virtual)
You are looking for a 4 digit number (not the year on the meter) of which the sum of the digits is 23. Divide the 4 digit number by 1000 and add the result to the minutes of N43°30.129' and W79°36.603' to obtain the coordinates of stage 2.
Stage 2 (Virtual)
Many scouts and guides learn to 'Hug-a-tree' if they become lost. How many scouts/guides would it would take to give this tree a full hug? Assume that their typical arm span is approximately 5.5 feet. To obtain the latitude of stage 3, Substitute the X in N43°37.7X6' with the number of scouts/guides. To obtain the longitude of stage 3, Substitute the Y in W79°44.2Y4' with the number of scouts/guides PLUS 2.
Stage 3 (Virtual)
Nearby is a sign that reads 'XX Adults and YY Children'. Combine the numbers in the form XXYY, divide it by 1000 and add the result to the minutes of N43°36.132' and W79°42.533' to obtain the coordinates of stage 4.
Stage 4 (Virtual)
You are looking for a four digit number that is nearby (under 2 feet). Divide the 4 digit number by 1000 and add the result to the minutes of N43°36.002' and W79°42.188' to obtain the coordinates of stage 5.
Stage 5 (Virtual)
You are looking for another four digit number that is nearby (under 2 feet). Divide the 4 digit number by 1000 and add the result to the minutes of N43°35.825' and W79°42.291' to obtain the coordinates of stage 6.
Stage 6 (Physical)
On to the final cache. The trail will bring you to within approximately 15 meters. You are advised to continue down the trail until you are under a tree that crosses the trail and is resting on another broken tree. From here you should go south about 6 meters and then follow the GPSr to the cache.
The remaining section is for trainers only.

5. Re-hide the cache containing the logbook only.
