Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  Instead, you will find there a benchmark on the side of the building, about 40cm above ground level.  Find the four digit number on the benchmark and call the digits A,B,C,and D.
The cache is a well disguised pill bottle, (big enough to hold about 300 pills or several hundred dollars of cash) located at N45 48.(A+B), C, A    W077 07.(B-D-D), C, A   in a cedar tree.  

Or if you would rather use the couch potato/computer geek approach, use satellite imagery to locate the above coordinates.  Then use the benchmark locator at:

http://www.gisapplication.lrc.gov.on.ca/cosineONT/Index.html?site=cosine&viewer=OntarioViewer&locale=en-US    
to find the red square nearest those coordinates.  The last four digits on the red square are the four digits on the benchmark.  

You will probably need to consult:
https://www.sse.gov.on.ca/sites/MNR-PublicDocs/EN/CMID/COSINE_HelpGuideFull_ENG.pdf

in order to be able to use the cosine website.  Anybody want to be a surveyor when they grow up?
