Geocache Description:


If you've already taken a walk on the north side of the Danforth, here's your chance to turn around and go back to where you started. But you don't have to have done that one to do this one.

The idea for this cache is copied from this one in Ottawa, which copied it from this one in Croatia. I enjoyed the one in Ottawa so much, I made one for this Toronto neighbourhood. Cachers seem to be enjoying it, so here's another!

The cache is not at the posted coordinates which are at the midpoint of your hunt for clues. Your starting point is the southeast corner of Broadview Avenue and Danforth Avenue. From start to finish (i.e., from Broadview Avenue to the hidden cache), the walk is about 2km.

Walk eastward along the south side of Danforth Avenue, from Broadview Avenue to Pape Avenue, looking for the details shown in the photos below.

You need to correctly sequence the images, in the order in which they appear along your walk. For example, if you find G first and A second, G = 1, A = 2 etc. Image #1 will be the closest to Broadview Avenue; image #16 will be the last one you see, closest to Pape Avenue.

When you have attributed a number to all 16 images, put those numbers into the formula below to solve for the final coordinates.

 

Coordinates are N 43 40.XXX W 079 20.YYY where:

XXX = ( A x B ) + ( C x D ) + ( E x F ) + ( G x H x I ) + ( B x E )

YYY = ( J x K x L ) + ( M x N x O ) - ( P x M ) + E

 

Please practise your best stealthiness, and be respectful of the neighbourhood.
