Moss and Found
This is a short multi with two stages; first a virtual stage and then a physical hide finale. It's a short walk and can easily be completed in 10-15 minutes. Go to the posted location to gain the information needed for the final coordinates.
Shannon Falls is one of British Columbia’s tallest waterfalls, plunging 335 m (1,099 ft) down a series of granite cliffs just south of my hometown, Squamish. Fed by meltwater from the surrounding mountains, the falls flow strongest in spring and early summer. Every year, thousands of people come from far and wide to see the sights Shannon Falls has to offer. Given that, please note this is a highly trafficked area, please watch out for muggles!
Final Location:
Your journey begins at the park’s information board near the front of the park/fence. Using the "Shannon Falls Park" map on the left side of the board, find the following coordinates:
This is the map you will be using :)
N 49° 40.ABC' W 123° 09.DEF'
A - Look at the third peak of "Stawamus Chief Park", what is the last number listed in the elevation?
B - How many 'Parking' icons are pictured on the map? (not including the legend)
C - How many rivers are labeled on the map?
D - Look at the first peak of "Stawamus Chief Park", what is the second number listed in the elevation?
E - How many letters long is the name of the ocean visible on the map? (left of the map)
F - How many 'Picnic Area' icons are pictured on the map? (not including the legend)
Checksum: A + B + C = 6 and D + E + F = 16
Access Info:
Easily accessible from the Sea-to-Sky Highway, Shannon Falls Provincial Park is a popular stop for travelers heading between Vancouver and Whistler, but can be approached from either direction. The parking lot will very likely be packed at peak times, so plan accordingly. Stage one is at the main information board near the parking lot/in the picnic area. Stage two is a short walk ahead, a little further into the park. No need to trample any local vegetation to reach the cache- if you're bushwhacking, you're in the wrong place. The cache itself is about 3M off the trail.
