Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.  IN ORDER TO FIND THE CACHE, SIGN THE LOG, AND COLLECT YOUR SMILEY YOU WILL HAVE TO SOLVE THE PUZZLE BELOW.

We were in Vernon for an event, and tagged up with GrammaJudi to kill time between events.  Decided since there were no caches that we all needed, we might as well put out a few, for future posterity.  These are all easy to access caches, so you have to do a little work to eary your smiley. 

Another numbers puzzle (sorry Alispice! ;))  You can only use the numbers from 1 thru 5, and only once in either a column or a row.  Pay attention to the "<"  (greater than/less than) signs as they will help you solve the puzzle.    Once you've solved the puzzle, use the numbers in the lettered boxes to find your final GZ.  Your GZ formula is N 50 11.ab(b-c-e) W 119 22.d(2*b-e)(2*a-c)   and as a reminder * means  "multiplied by" so for example  "5*q-3" means multiply the number in box q by 5 and then subtract 3.
