Those that are observant may have noticed a 'theme' with this one... but those that are not observant may not have... so I'll just flat out tell you the theme. The theme is rectangular/square objects, mostly ones where you can put other things inside.
Things that fall into this category might include:
- Bases/fortresses that can be garrisoned by Autobot or Decepticon troops
- Truck trailers that can carry Energon Cubes for transportation
- Vending machines that can carry liquid Energon drinks
- Xbox videogame consoles that can hold a game disk/CD
- Boomboxes that can hold a cassette tape (yes, kids have no idea what I'm talking about right now)
- Lunch boxes that can hold your Cybertronian food and other goodies
- ...and many other examples.
Why are we talking about all these objects? Well, as we already know, Transformers can come in all shapes and sizes; and yes, this includes all of the forms mentioned above.
Knowledge of the above Autobot forms may aid you in your mission, which is to find a very important piece of paper. There have been rumors of 4 Autobots in the area, 3 big ones and one tiny one, but one of them ate a very important piece of paper (with autographs of all the famous Ottawa geocachers in it). You can find this paper by navigating to:
(Note: The container originally was a Transformer lunchbox... which has since been stolen by Decepticons...)
N 45° 17.(A+3)(E+4)7' W 75° 54.(C+4)(D-2)(B+3)'
A = the digital root of the name of the Autobot above. (Hint: Starts with an "M", 9 letters)
B = the digital root of the name of the Autobot above. (Hint: 2 words, starts with O and then P)
C = the digital root of the name of the Decepticon above. (Hint: Starts with an "M", 11 letters)
D = the digital root of the name of the Transformer above. (Hint: Starts with an "D", 9 letters. Note: There are alternate spellings.. use the name with "...or" in it, instead of "...er")
E = the digital root of the name of the Autobot above. (Hint: Starts with an "B", 7 letters)
This XBox 360 Transformer has no name, so you are off the hook for this one (but he sure would make a great gift for naughty children).
Note: It appears that after several years, the Autobots have been removed from this location. Here is a picture of what the Autobots used to look like (the cache is still safe however):
Be sure to private message me if you know of any other undiscovered Autobot burial grounds (old cars/trucks/motorcycles/skidoos or random scraps of metal) in, or near, Ottawa ;) - and don't forget to 'favorite' these if you are enjoying the series (this also increases the visibility of this series, and will draw in more cachers).
