This cache is located on an Island that can be a little tricky
to get on. It is not recommended for small children or pets. The
best approach I found is from the coordinates listed above which
are the suggested parking coordinates.
If you load the coordinates for the tour in your GPS before you
start you should be able to complete the cache in about 15
minutes
The cache location is:
N42 54. 7AB W077 44.7CD
To get the number you need for A in the cache coordinates go to
the largest tree on the Island located at:
N42 54.735 W077 44.717.
If you are looking at the common name for this tree, (HACKBERRY)
and if a code had a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4 etc.. Find the 5th letter in
the name of the tree, convert that letter to a number as described
in the code, this is the number you need for A in the cache
coordinates.
To get the number you need for B in the cache coordinates go to
an old water fountain located at:
N42 54.716 W077 44.748.
On the fountain you will see a year. Add 2 to last digit in the
year, this is the number you need for B in the cache
coordinates.
To get the number you need for C in the cache coordinates go to
one of the smaller trees on the Island, a recent planting located
at:
N42 54.709 W077 44.728
Subtract 3 from the last digit in the year the tree was planted,
this is the number you need for C in the cache coordinates.
To get the number you need for D in the cache coordinates go to
a US Coast & Geodetic Survey Bench Mark disk located at:
N42 54.721 W077 44.730
On the disk you will see the letter G followed by 3 numbers. The
second number after the letter G is the number you need for D in
the cache coordinates.
This is a micro cache, bring your own pen for the small logbook
within. The encrypted hints will be very specific, if you like to
have a little fun trying to find caches don’t look until you
have to, they will be a spoiler.
As of 11-9-03 there is a new logbook marked LOGBOOK II, the
original was full so I replaced it.
The Logbook replaced again on 4-11-05, LOGBOOK III. This time I
used "Rite in the Rain" All-Weather Writing Paper
