Geocache Description:


 

Here you stand in Athens, Ontario, a village that certainly has Joshua Bates to thank. On this mural you can read about his vision for the settlement he named Farmersville to honour farmers as the foundation of the community. It is one of the newer panelled murals, designed by Tony Endhoven and painted by students of Athens Christian School.

This is a mystery cache. You will not find it hidden at the posted coordinates. Instead, come to this place to view and enjoy one of Athens many historic murals.

The coordinates to the final location can be found by using the answers to these questions.

A = how many tree stumps under the "Reformers' Meeting"?

T = count the letters in the name of the object the teacher has in her hand?

H = DR of what is in the saddle bag (2 words) minus 1?

E = how many letters in the colour of the fisher's bobber?

N = DR of whose wagon is being pulled by the oxen? (Note that this is an "I" and not an "O".)

S = number of trilliums plus 1?

The cache can be found a short drive away at  N 44  37.  ATH     W 75  57. ENS
