The cache container is NOT at the posted coordinates! The cache was originally placed by Sir Vayor, and was archived upon his passing. I have reactivated the cache, slightly adjusted the puzzle description, and placed a new container south of the original cache location.
Most of Sir Vayor's geocaches have some sort of puzzle to solve before getting to the final location and he found no reason to make this one any different. This cache’s puzzle is fairly easy to solve. The listed location is NOT the geocache location; you must find the various clues at four different locations before heading for ground zero.
The clues are all in Logan Lake and are at public locations that are easy to find. From the clues, you only need to determine the minutes and decimal of minutes as the degrees in both the latitude and longitude are the same as those listed above. The minutes of latitude are expressed as: N 50° A B . C D E and the minutes of longitude are expressed as W 120° F G . H I J .
At the Logan Lake Municipal Office, there is a “Volunteer Appreciation” Plaque in a rock. The first digit on the plaque will replace A, the second digit will replace C, and the sixth digit will replace E.
Head to the War Memorial near the Municipal Office. The amount of teal rock towers, plus one, will replace H.
Next, look for the big white cross located in Marie King Park, at the corner of Galena Avenue and Chartrand. There are three plaques on the cross but only two digits appear on all three plaques. One digit is shown seven times and the other digit is shown eight times. The digit that is shown seven times will replace B and G. The last digit on the bottom left plaque will replace J.
The last clue can be found at the large mining shovel and haul truck, near the Logan Lake Recreation Centre. The unit number on the mining shovel will replace D and F. The last digit on the two digit unit number on the haul truck will replace I (i) .
Piece it all together and then head off toward the geocache. There is plenty of parking close by. The first part of the walk to the geocache will get your heart and lungs working but once that is over, you will be on a flat plateau and the walk to the cache will be quite easy. I am sure that most people in Logan Lake have never been here before, let alone anyone from out of town. If you have, let us know in your post. The cache is in a plastic ammo box and if you look just east of the cache, you will quickly understand where the geocache name comes from. There is another geocache in a southerly direction that would be an easy walk and would make a good circle tour as you make your way back to your vehicle.
RIP Sir Vayor
