Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted co-ordinates, these are for Ottawa’s Christ Church Cathedral where I was married to Scarlett03 and my son GreyElf was baptised. You’ll have to read some Scripture and do some math to find this cache!

Psalms is a book of the Hebrew Bible, and of the Old Testament of the Christian Bible

The Book of Psalms is divided into 150 Psalms, and some are among the best-known and best-loved passages of Scripture, with a popularity extending well beyond regular church-goers. To find this cache you must discover the identification number of the four Psalms whose first lines are printed below then perform the arithmetic required to derive the final cache location. Different versions of the Holy Bible may have slightly different wording so be cautious.

Add “O Lord who may abide in your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy hill?” To “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” And SUBTRACT the result from the posted Latitude’s decimal minutes.

Subtract “God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble.” From “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion” And ADD the result to the posted Longitude’s decimal minutes.

Not a long walk, but hopefully an interesting one – Good hunting everyone!
