Geocache Description:

Wander about under the I 205 bridge and explore some of the history of Vancouver.

Way point one is the above coords. Drive to this sign and make a note of the year that the first saw mill of the North West came to be. This is (A).

Way point 2 is at 45 35.996n by
122 32.874w

This is a great parking location. What year was Henry J. Biddle born? (As the plaque is missing, the answer is 1862.) This is (B) and when did he die? (Again since the plaque has gone missing, the answer is 1928.) This is (C).

Walk to way point 3 at 45 36.026n
122 33.069w

Look north. How many tall pillars are holding up the I 205 bridge? This is (D) and is a single digit number. Now for fun look South...neat view huh?

For the final coords do the following math.

45 36.043+(B-A)n
122 32.666+(C/D)w

Good luck on this and be sure to walk around the fish hatchery for awhile.
