Geocache Description:


As you know, the Autobot Transformers are always on the run from the evil Decepticons. They often need to create makeshift bases/forts/camps/shelters in the middle of the forest to evade detection. This series is designed to take you to some of their forgotten 'hideouts'...



An Energon Cube was hidden near one of the Autobot hideouts, which you must find and sign. It is far enough away from the Hideout so that Decepticons do not have a chance to find it accidentally.

It is located at:

N 45° 24.(C+2)(B+3)4' W 75° 49.(A+3)15'

Note: The brackets do NOT mean multiplication, each bracket resolves to a single digit. Meaning there will be 3 digits for the North and 3 for the West.

You must navigate to the Autobot hideout at the posted coordinates (N 45° 24.783' W 75° 49.883') and answer the following:


A = If you were in the Autobot hideout and were exiting it, what direction would you be travelling? 1 if it is north-east or south-west, 5 if it is north-west or south-east.

B = 1 if the Hideout is made out of a tent, 3 if the hideout is made out of wood, or 5 if the hideout is composed of a tent and wood.

C = When facing the hideout from the north-west, at the bottom right of the hideout is a symbol with a tree with a word beside it. C is equal to the digital root of this word. If that symbol cannot be found (due to Decepticons ransacking the place), C can also be equal to the digital root of the 'thing' that is found on the ground in front of the entrance - 5 (hint: the 'thing' has 6 letters)


Note: I was told that this Autobot Hideout has since been removed (possibly by the evil Decepticons). So here are the answers:
A = 5 (it exits north-west)
B = 5 (a tent is surrounded by wood)
C = 4 = DR(Hillary) (Google 'Hillary' Tents to see this icon) or DR(carpet) - 5 = 9 - 5 = 4
N 45° 24.(C+2)(B+3)4' W 75° 49.(A+3)15'
N 45° 24.(4+2)(5+3)4' W 75° 49.(5+3)15'
N 45° 24.684' W 75° 49.815'
