Geocache Description:


This puzzle final is a roadside, not too far from the Campbellford Trans Canada Trail from Hastings to Campbellford. All the puzzles are easy as are most of the hides.

What is compass declination ….?

a) a compass that refuses a drink (he’s declining… hahahaha) =
N 17° 30.141' E 009° 50.888'

b) a compass that is falling down a hill (hopefully not with its owner) =
N 17° 30.141' E 009° 50.888'

c) the difference between True north and Magnetic north as expressed in degrees of an angle. From the location of this GeoArt, the declination is 13 degrees. Magnetic North is 13 degrees west of True north =
N44° 20.870' W77° 51.984'
