Initially, when I came up with the idea for this cache I thought I would be clever and subtitle it "A Salute to Neil deGrasse Tyson". Do I hear you asking "Highlander, why would you want that as a subtitle??" The long answer (there is no short answer, by the way) is this:
I'm a Baby Boomer so you might be surprised to find out that I don't think I know everything there is to know about everything, and one of the people I find myself listening to more often these days is American astrophysicist, author, and science communicator, Neil deGrasse Tyson. I enjoy learning things from him because he phrases his explanations in a way that's easy to understand, as long as you have an open mind and a willingness to learn. A recent presentation of his tickled the physicist part of my brain with a factoid I think I was actually aware of deep down inside but when he pointed it out I was like, "YEAH! I knew that was the reason!" 
So here's how to earn a smiley for this Mystery cache which, as we all know, is NOT hidden at the posted coordinates:
- Go to the posted coordinates where you should find yourself standing at or near the base of the famous Parksville Water Tower.
- Look up at the water storage tank. It is a wooden-stave cylinder that is held together by several thick steel cables which encircle the tank. How many cables are holding this water tower together? This is your value for A. (Look closely!
)
- Walk a few steps over to the Railway Garden sign west of the Water Tower. Use the last 2 digits of the year the Garden was created as your value for B.
To determine the final coordinates insert your values for A and B here:
N 49 18.((B+A)*2)6 W 124.19.3((A*2)+(B*3))
Feel free to post photos as long as they don't spoil the puzzle.
As a purely voluntary option, if you're feeling smart you can tell me (via message or email - not in your log, please!) why you think the steel cables are spaced apart they way they are. (Hint: Remember, this is a physics question! This is not a logging requirement. I'm just curious to find out if anyone learned anything from visiting my cache.
