Geocache Description:


some text

NOTE: This cache is placed within the Island Nature Trust’s Mount Pleasant Woodland Natural Area. Please proceed with appropriate caution so as not to disturb the ecosystem.


In 1961 the Canadian Post Office issued its first stamp with a portrait of a famous Canadian woman who had the distinction of being the first in her field. Over the next 57 years, dozens of "famous women" would be honoured by having their image on a Canadian postage stamp. This puzzle cache pays homage to 12 such women.

Reading left to right, top to bottom with the top left-hand corner stamp being designated as "A" and the bottom right-hand corner stamp being designated as "L" (with B to K in between), identify the 12 women depicted.

PUZZLE:

Using the women's last names, determine their word value (digital root) (click) and use them in the following equation to get the final cache coordinates:

North 46 CD.EHL West 64 (F-G)(B-J).(C+K )(A-F)(I-L)
