The final cache is not at the posted coordinates. The posted coordinates will take you to the area of "The Homecoming" memorial where you will need to gather some information to help you determine the coordinates of the final stage. The Homecoming memorial and the memory bricks that have been laid in this area have special meaning for a lot of Canada's veterans and their families. I count myself among them and have a brick laid here to commemorate my 36-plus years of service to Canada in the RCN/CF.
The cache is actually located at N48 24.ABC W123 21.DEF
In order to get the all the information needed for the final coordinates, just gather the information as indicated below.
A - to the right of the Atlantic banner - what is the last digit of the year that HN Matt Matthews married Vera?
B - to the right of the Pacific banner - how many lines of information are on FB Hilton’s brick?
C - to the right of the Antarctic banner - what is the last digit of the year that the Veteran Sailor retired?
D - to the right of the Indian banner - what is the third digit of the year that CPO1/LT(N) Olson joined the RCN?
E - to the right of the Pacific banner - what is the number that is repeated twice in ABQRS D. Maletta’s brick?
F - to the left of the Arctic banner - what is the first digit of the date that LCdr W Bradford retired?
Now you have all the information you need to locate the cache. So, head off, find it, sign the log, and enjoy the view. Maybe even envision the ships returning to their home port.
Be careful as this area has the potential to be a high muggle zone. PLEASE RETURN IT TO EXACTLY WHERE YOU FOUND IT.
***Congratulations to Highlands Guy on being the FTF***
