A challenging maze composed of multiple
waypoints and paths in which you must navigate to find the
cache and decisions you make determines how long you spend in
THE MATRIX. Located in a picnic park under a stand of
red pine; 3 km east of Kingston on Route 1; off Hwy 101
between Exits 16 and 17.
To start, park near the given
coordinates and look for the first clue. Clues consist of a
metal tag with two rows of 7 characters in 1/4" letters. In
each row from left to right you will find a letter, which is
the clue designation, followed by the last three digits each
of the LAT and LON in decimal minutes. The remaining part of
the coordinates is the same as the start position. There will
also be a letter on the left side of the tag between the two
rows and is the present waypoint designation.
(Clue Example: A123456 =
Clue/Waypoint A - Nxx°xx.123' Wxxx°xx.456')
Clues are easily visible and within reach of the average person
but placed as to be inconspicuous. There are trails or roads that
lead to all clues and cache is less than 15m of a trail so no
bushwhacking. All clues will lead you toward the cache but
decisions you make, determines how many waypoints you go through
(Min 4 - Max 12). Rated D-3.5 because of the waypoints, complexity,
distance and time factors. The terrain is easy and scenic but be
prepared to spend an hours time and walk a average of 1500m to find
your way to the cache. The average distance between clues is 200m;
the longest is 600m. Cache is available year round, kid friendly
and in a medium round 11L plastic container. Cover on container is
snug fitting so ensure it is properly closed when you are done.
Helpful tips: A basic map is available and
helpful but not necessary to find the cache.The park is closed Oct
11 - May 21 to vehicle traffic but accessible year round on foot
and you may see geomuggles. Due to the abundance of tall trees,
your GPS may wander. Read tags carefuly due to imperfect stamping
and note 3 & 5 have a flat top while 6 & 8 have a round
top. Read the whole description carefully.
