Welcome all to another puzzle which is meant to be relaxing and fun for the most part....the final being an entirely different story. This is very similar to my last cache, but with slight differences, and includes a bit of history on a place I knew well for years, but never really knew in a historical context. I found my first cache in this area, now long gone but still remembered.
The final is a pretty standard cache type, unlike my previous hides, though I did have to make a last minute change due to the nature of the hiding spot. This is a quiet enough area near Square One (and well, the attempted building of a Downtown for Mississauga to the east) with plenty of parks and not too much in the way of traffic, even before the events of last year came.
Everyone of these images is my own, from two different settings but the same environment...an abode I've spent some time in.
To begin, jump into the science of Refraction!
To find the West coordinates, you'll need to answer some questions on local history.
A In 1822, a crown agent by the name of Thomas Racey purchased land in the area, now known as the Racey Tract, on which he intended to build mills and found a settlement. When Racey failed to meet his payments, most of the land was sold...
(?) How many acres were reserved for a town plot? (round down/disregard the decimal #s)
B
(?) How large (square km) is the namesake of Burnamthorpe Road? (round down/disregard the decimal #s, then multiply this number by 100)
C
(?) How many hectares were on a regular, rectangular farm lot on what was known informally as the Back Line, Adamson Sideroad, and Rogers Road?
D
(?) What is the last numeric of the year Burnamthorpe Road was originally laid out?
The final can be found at N 43 (?) W 079 A+2.B+C+D
A TOTT is optional for GZ, whether you prefer an extendable one or regular, though it depends on how much fun you're willing to have to get your smiley. The tree is fairly friendly, though friendly depends on your definition. Oh, and maybe aim for finding this during the winter, summertime will make this find still very possible, but perhaps a little annoying with muggles and foliage being cumbersome.
Do bring a writing utensil as well.
