A 2 stage multi to explore a section of the old right of way for the Burnaby Lake Line of the BC Electric Railway Interurban. As you walk the trails you will find old power poles that have been cut off above the ground but nothing else from the old interurban appears to remain around here. According to a BC Electric Railway Map I found there was once a station named Golf Links in this area.
Near the posted coordinates you will find a utility pole where you will find four lines of alphanumeric characters burnt into the north side of the pole about 2 m above the ground. You will also find a brass coloured tag with a number stamped into it. You can assume A=1 for any conversions.
The coordinates for the final location are N49 14.ABC W122 53.DEF:
- A = first character on second line of four lines burnt into wood =
- B = second character on third line of four lines burnt into wood =
- C = (first character + second character) from fourth line of four lines burnt into wood =
- D = second digit on brass tag =
- E = (first digit + second digit) from brass tag =
- F = (second digit + fifth digit) from brass tag =
- checksum = 37
