Geocache Description:


CACHE EMERGENCY!!!

Are you desperate to find a cache to keep your streak going?  So desperate that you'll even resort to a multi?  Then, this is your cache.  It's a quick 3 stage multi requiring only a simple projection, basic math and a short hike.  Park up the hill from the posted coordinates and look for the nearby Fish Creek Provincial Park sign along the path. 

Because this sign at the original coordinates was vandalized, you'll need to do a simple projection (226 meters at 351° from posted) to find Stage 2 where you'll find a similar sign.

To find the final, find the Emergency Locator number for this second location in Fish Creek Provincial Park.  You're looking for a three digit number in the format "FC-abc".  Then substitute these digits into the following formula for the final location.

N 50° 54.(c+2)(a)(b-3) W 114° 0.(b-1)(c+5)(a+3)

 

This cache was initially placed for the 2020 Calgary Spring Fling Event, but this cache owner didn't plan well enough to get the Fish Creek Provincial Park approvals completed in time. So, let's just call this a post-fling cache. Enjoy.
