Geocache Description:

The cache was placed to be part of the Go and Get Em 8 event.

This is my first attempt at hiding a cache so why not do one for GAG8! So here we go!

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. They are simply to a good parking point to start from.
Don’t be intimidated by the number of waypoints. 
They are all very close and will take no time to cover. 

WP1 (posted coordinates)
   Don't be a litter bug! Take the 9th digit of the small 10 digit number under the logo.
   A=________________

WP2 (@ 22.495 44.623)
      The total number of English words (ignore the "ottawa" in the top left corner but include "caution"). Take the digital root of this number.
   B=________________

WP3 (@ 22.522 by 44.582)
      What field are you in?   If you are in left field, answer is 2, centre is 4, right is 6.
   C=________________

WP4 (@22.546 by 44.658)
       Find the smaller black box next to the bigger green box. Take the digital root of that name on the face of it.

   D=________________

WP5 (@22.538 by 44.636)
       The number of letters of the subsidiary company on the green box.
   E=________________


WP6 (@22.497 44.770)
       The number of words French words on the small black sign next to the buttons.
   F=________________

The final cache is located:

FAC.E meters at a bearing of BA(D-2).C degrees true north from WP6.

Cache is a camo'd cornstarch container.
It should also be winter friendly...maybe...we'll see about that part. 

Please be sure to conceal it after you put it back.

Contained at placement: log book, pencil, sharpener, and a few other items including 
my new (and 1st) Godzilla Travel Bug!
