Geocache Description:

Hey, got your ears up? Get motion lotion for your rig, you could be doing some trucking. Put the pedal to the metal. Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up for this Calgary cache. Let’s not have any 10-51’s or 10-52’s. Try to make this a 10-40.

10-41 by 10-23ing each of the waypoints below and you should be able to get the 10-43 needed to get your 10-24. Each 10-20 will give you an important piece of 10-43. Then you can 10-42 by 10-63ing. It is a bit of a puzzle but you should be able to figure it out with a bit of research, reasoning, and logic. Is that a big 10-4?

a. Remember, latitude and longitude are respectively the avenues and streets of the world.
b. Waypoints can be visited in any order but …
c. Once you arrive at each of the waypoints, ask yourself how you would respond if your raddiddio squawked at you, “What’s your 10-20?”
d. There are a few twists but a pattern should become evident.
e. A counterclockwise loop starting at waypoint G and ending at waypoint H is 50+ km. and took me about 2 hours.
f. There is an easy way and a SURE way to get all the correct information.
g. The final cache uses the following format: DD(D)° MM.MMM. (D = degrees, M = minutes)

Waypoint A: N 51° 03.423 - W 114° 03.588

Waypoint B: N51° 02.814 - W 114° 05.327

Waypoint C: N51° 03.698 - W 114° 04.273

Waypoint D: N51° 01.723 - W113° 58.465

Waypoint E: N51° 03.833 - W114° 01.076

Waypoint F: N51° 00.113 - W113° 57.057

Waypoint G: N50° 58.606 - W114° 08.144 (same as posted coordinates, just someplace to start)

Waypoint H: N51° 01.701 - W114° 08.128

The final cache contains an assortment of trading items, cachenote, pencils, logbook, the coveted First to Cache Card and a few others.

Good luck and Happy Hunting.
