Geocache Description:

Welcome to Stony Plain, the Town with the Painted Past. This cache is a multi cache in which you must visit seven historical locations and get some information that will point you to the final cache. Following them in order is not required; in fact, creativity is encouraged! Since all but the first stop are in town, a car is not needed.

The above coordinates are not for the main cache itself, but for stop number five, which happens to be in downtown Stony Plain. The coordinates for the main cache will be given by:

N AB CD.EFG
W HIJ KL.MNO

Where the letters A-O will be given by visiting seven historical locations. Enjoy!
