Geocache Description:


Welcome all to a multi taking you down the Greenbelt Express.

The only ticket you require to ride this hypothetical train ride is your intent to find this multi, whilst answering a few questions. I've always intended on hiding a cache around here, partly because this is a nice part of town, partly because I know it well. My mother worked around here for years, in different positions and complexes, even the one which is the focal point of Stage 2, and I've come to recognize much of this area from playing around here as a kid.

This isn't a long multi-cache, but it shares some elements of my first two. It should only take about half an hour at most, although it depends on how much fun you have with the final. You will require a writing utensil for the final, and perhaps to write down the values found from each stage.

 

The posted coordinates bring you to stage 1, where you'll be brought over to a path from Don Mills Rd into an office complex. There are a few trees by the posted coordinates, they all have metal tags on them. When walking eastward, toward the complex, theres a tree on the left side of the trail, after the lamp post.  Write down the number found on the metal tag, this is A.

 

The 2nd stage: After finishing the last stage, you'll be brought to the front courtyard of the complex. Count how many boxes make up the facade of one side of one of these buildings from the coordinates posted for this stage. (Count the boxes above the two story colonades at the bottom floors) This is B.

 

The 3rd stage: From the second stage, you'll be brought to Green Belt Crescent. From the waypoint listed, look across the street toward the row of apartments. You'll notice a series of decorative brick walls, one for each residence. How many holes are in the design of one of these walls? How many holes make up the perimeter of this pattern? Subtract the number that make up the perimeter by the total amount. This is C.

By this point, you'll be rather close the final. Finish the formula for the coords, and don't forget your writing utensil. 

To solve,

N 43° 43.[(A - 1 ÷ 2) + (B + C + 60)]

W 79° 20.(B × C) - 137

 


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Congratulations to Henry&Co on the FTF!
