Geocache Description:

The Kouchibouguac national park is a great place for hiking, biking and camping. By adding GeoCaching, you can combine two pastimes into one.

The idea of this multi-cache is that while you are in the park searching for “Houchi-Kouchi Blue, Red & Green” then you may as well pick clues along the way to find this cache. This multi-cache uses sign posted close to the other caches for clues for the final coordinates.

You will have to collect 10 numbers to figure out the coordinates for this cache. Do not use the decimals, just consider each digit on the sign posts.

1) Find the distance sign at coordinates N46°49.002 W64°57.525

#A = The sum of the two digits for the distance to “South Kouchibouguac”.

#B = In a series of numbers, what number would be between the two digits for the distance to “Patterson”.

#C = The second digit for the distance to “Loggiecroft”.

#D = The second digit for the distance to “Major Kollock”.

#E = The second digit for the distance to “La Source”.

2) Find the road sign at coordinates N46°48.769 W64°54.967

#F = The first digit for the maximum “t”.

3) Find the distance sign at coordinates N46°46.572 W65°00.306

#G = The second digit for the distance to “Route 134”

#H = The second digit for the distance to “Saint Louis”.

#I = Add all the digits from the distance to “Pijeboogwek” and to “Information”.

#J = The first digit for the distance to “Patterson”.

The formula for the final coordinates is :

N 46° #B#G.#J#I#F

W064° #E#D.#A#C#H

The north checksum is = 19 and the west checksum is = 34.

The initial items placed in the cache were:
