A very talented artist has brightened up the streets of the town by painting the fire hydrants. The hydrants have taken on a life of their own. They stand guard waiting for their firemen friends or some crazies with little electronic gadgets come by to visit them. The hydrants were transformed into different characters, depending on where they were located. By visiting six hydrants and picking up a missing digit at each one, you will be able to complete the coordinates to the final cache. Beware of muggles because you will encounter them on every part of this cache hunt.

The Cache Coordinates are N 45 33. A B C and W 062 39. D E F It is recommended that you visit the hydrants in the order listed, because this will be the most direct route from one to the other, thus preventing turning, backtracking etc. We have attempted to give the hydrants a catchy name. Once you get started, you may not need the coordinates to find the hydrants. They are all in a line except for“Fireman Bernie”.

Train Conductor "Al Abord", at N 45 33.306 W 062 39.656 is waiting for his train to come along. Al can see a four digit number on the back side of the railway crossing flashing light sign. The last digit = F.

Bank Robber “Clyde”, at N 45 33.415 W 062 39.607 just got away with a bag of loot. The bank that Clyde robbed has a three digit civic number. The middle digit = B.

War Veteran “Victor”, at N 45 33.473 W 062 39.600 stands at attention day and night. Victor is staring straight ahead at a three digit civic number across the street. The last digit = E.

Policeman “Amby”, at N 45 33.548 W 062 39.590 is waiting for Sam’s to close on a Friday night. Looking across the street, Amby is counting the number of letters on the left hand door on the building where he works. The number of letters on the left hand door = A.

Fireman “Bernie”, at N 45 33.579 W 062 39.655 is always on call, night and day and his bright yellow coveralls has a two digit number on it. The last digit = C.

“Snoop Dog”, at N 45 33.610 W 062 39.585 is waiting for other dogs to come along and wash him off. The item with parking instructions on the pole beside him has an ID with letters RB and two numbers. The last number = D.

The coordinates listed for this cache at the top of the page are parking coordinates for the final cache hunt. This is the parking lot of the Stellarton Stingers Girls Softball Complex located behind the brick RCMP building. From here, go down onto the Albion Trail below the ball field. The cache itself is relatively muggle free.

The cache consists of a 2 liter coffee can with regular cache items.
