Geocache Description:


"... if you wanna cache and roll."

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, though that is the place to start, because that is where the clues are. Despite the cache title, it's not actually that long a journey at all. The cache attribute icons are really more of a disclaimer, more useful to collect than to worry about.

 

CLUES AND COORDINATES:  

You are going to start at the southern end of the Seymour River Regional Greenway, in Lillooet park. There you shall see a large noticeboard / sign, a few other signs, a yellow gate with a blue sign, and next to the gate, a wooden post with 3 small signs. This is where the clues are located (by carefully reading the signs). Plug those clues into the following coordinate formula, to get the final cache location:

 

N49 1A.BCD W123 0E.FGH    

 

On the main signboard:

A = On the narrow text box on the right, the number of letters in the word at the very top.

B = The number of letters in the word at the top of green section of text.

E = The total number of squirrels depicted on this sign.

F = Number of words highlighted in yellow on the map.

(Checksum for this group of clues = 19)

 

Near the gate:

C = On the wood post, there is a sign of a cyclist next to a hiker, that indicates this is a " _____ " trail; number of letters in the missing word.

D = On the wood post with 3 signs, the total number of two-wheeled vehicles depicted.

G = On the wood post with 3 signs, the total number of humans depicted.

H = On the blue sign attached to the yellow gate, the total number of dogs depicted.

(Checksum for this group of clues = 12)

 

THE JOURNEY AND THE HIDE:

It's not far, but a little bit adventurous. You will need to reach the top of something, but it should not be hard to get up to where you need to go; just look around for the easiest path to the highest place, which is not the most direct one. So make sure you are wearing boots, and the higher you go, the more you should mind the gaps. (That's why it's not recommended at night.)

The cache is a small cylinder, tucked away in a convenient notch. There will be a log sheet or book inside, and room for trackables. Please be at least moderately stealthy in retrieving it and putting it back.
