Welcome to the Monuments & Multis Series — M&M Series
.
The Island has numerous small monuments & plaques commemorating oft forgotten people, places & events that played a role in the history of the Island. Most such commemorative reminders, if noticed at all, are usually driven by without stopping or reading. This series hopes to highlight the Island’s past through a number of quick, 2-stage multi caches that require visiting & reading such plaques.

The Three Rivers - W, X, and Y - wind through towns, villages and
communities in Kings County, draining into Cardigan Bay, known to the Mi’Kmaq people as
Samkook (sandy shore). One of the first French settlements on Prince Edward Island,
founded by Jean-Pierre Roma, grew here in the early 1700s, where the Brudenell and
Montague Rivers meet at Georgetown Harbour. This same point of land also has the
distinction of being the birthplace of Prince Edward Island’s father of Confederation, Andrew
A. MacDonald. The Waters of the Three Rivers still flow, as they have for centuries, past
farms, fisheries and shipyards, linking all those who live along their banks to each other, to
the past and to the future. The natural beauty of the Three Rivers has been nurtured and
protected through careful development and community stewardship. Designation of the Three
Rivers as a Canadian Heritage River will safeguard its rich history and pristine natural beauty
for generations to come.
Add together the number of letters in each of the three (3) municipalities comprising the Three Rivers and designate as "Z" use “Z” in the following equation to obtain the nearby final cache coordinates:
N46 11.(Z + 437) W062 32.(Z + 349)
Checksum: N=24, W=27
