Geocache Description:


Ignore the above UTM. It only tells you this cache is in the Greater Vancouver area. Go to the SE corner of 45th and Elm St in Vancouver, B.C. There you will see at the intersection of the 45th ave. sidewalk and the Elm St. sidewalk, a small survey mark in the concrete about 5 mm in diameter. Determine this UTM. From here, go 6,493 meters East, and 12,456 m South. From your answer, (which you can do on a calculator) you will have to put in a correction factor to allow for the UTM grid. The correction factor is, 14.937 meters East, and 9.105 meters North. You should now be at a manmade object a few feet long. From here go 150 degrees True for 52 meters. Look under the right hand side of a log pile where you will see pink flagging tape. Please cover up and seal the cache the way you found it. Good luck. Team KFWB Gps.

Due to the the requirements of solving this cache there can be a small bit of variability in peoples answers but it should only be a few meters. So you may have to widen your final search area by a few meters, use the hint.

**July 2012 Update: No sign of pink flagging tape or the log pile any longer at GZ - you'll have to check behind trees just like you do for almost every other woodland cache out there!**

***April 2015 Update: Look next to large boulder.***
