This virtual cache will require you to visit three different locations within the town of Antigonish. At each location you visit, you will be required to answer a question about the immediate area and then submit those answers to me privately (use the message feature within the geocaching site, and not post in your log). As well, please upload at least one photo of you (or you giving a thumbs up) at one,two or all three locations that you visited while completing this Virtual Cache. Please make sure there is no spoiler information contained in any of your photos or within your log. Any cache logs not adhering to these requests will be deleted. Have fun as you enjoy either a nice little walk or drive through our town!
Waypoint 1: Columbus Field- Located on the eastern end of Main Street, Columbus Field is not only the main venue for The Highland Games and many other events in Antigonish, it is a year round recreational spot for the town. Walking trails, a fully equipped playground with waterpark, a track for walking (or running), quiet trails through the woods and courts for tennis and pickleball round out this wonderful attraction. At the posted coords, you will find a memorial dedicated to the residents of Antigonish. What were the names of the two artists who donated the piece of art that once stood on this concrete structure?
Waypoint 2: Town Hall- Located in the heart of Main Street, welcome to Antigonish Town Hall. Here you will find information about Town Council, as well as information about the programs and services delivered day to day. They are dedicated to delivering top-quality service to the residents, businesses and visitors, and are always happy to help address any questions or concerns folks may have. At the posted coords, you will find an information post that has three sides to it. On the side facing Main Street, there are 19 locations of Antigonish featured. To the left of each location it is identifed by a number on the corresponding map. What would be the total sum of all names containing the word "park" anywhere with its name (hint, 4 of the 19 locations are used to calculate this)?
Waypoint 3: Cheapskate Hill- Located on the Western end of town, this namesake spot is a long-standing tradition known by anybody who has spent any time at all on campus at St. F.X university. It's nickname is derived from decades of folks using this location as a way to watch events on the turf/track below at a very very nominal price, (grass stains on your backside). Near the posted coords, you will notice a set of double doors used to access the building. There is a white circle that is stuck to the middle of the door frame. Provide the complete phrase that is contained on this sticker.
