Geocache Description:


Kerry's Dale

 

Kerrisdale is a lovely, historic Vancouver neighbourhood. It was in 1905, when at the request of BC Electric Railway manager R.H. Sterling, Mrs. William McKinnon named the interurban stop at Wilson Road (modern-day West 41st Avenue) "Kerry's Dale," after her family home of Kerrydale, in Gairloch, Scotland. Translated, Kerrydale means "little seat of the fairies." The name was later changed to Kerrisdale. In 1929, when Kerrisdale was part of the Municipality of Point Grey, it amalgamated with the City of Vancouver.

This is the bonus cache for Kerry’s Dale Adventure Lab. You will need to complete the Adventure Lab to receive all the codes to solve this puzzle. Kerry’s Dale Adventure Lab will take you on a short walk through Kerrisdale, highlighting some of the historical stories from this charming area. The route is less than one kilometre of easy walking and will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

The Adventure Lab cache will reveal number codes, so that the final coordinates for this cache may be solved. These codes will be saved in your Adventure Lab Journal. Ten numbers will be revealed, two at each of Kerry’s Dale Adventure Lab’s five locations. Make a note of the numbers (i.e. A=?), and the final coordinates for this cache may be solved as follows:

N 49 AB.CDE W 123 FG.HIJ

Happy caching adventures! I hope you enjoy your tour of this historic Vancouver neighbourhood as well as the added themed bonus cache.
