Geocache Description:

A short, two-stage multi along downtown Toronto's harbourfront.


The first stage of this cache is at a stonehenge like structure at the above co-ords. On one of the large stones in the area, you will find a plaque with the dates of a festival on it.

To find the cache hidden at stage 2, follow the instructions below to fix the following co-ords:

N43.38.xxx W079.22.y06

To find xxx, add together the three days of the festival (from the plaque) and multiply it by 10. Subtract this number from 500.

y is the month the festival took place.

This location is quieter than the rest of the harbourfront, but still busy on the weekend when the weather is nice. You may be able to get and replace the cache if you are extremely discreet. We were able to place the cache on a sunny Sunday, but we knew exactly where we were placing it, and we still had to wait a bit for the right moment. Use the clue if necessary.

Original contents of cache: a logbook, a geocoin (unactivated, for the FTF), a marine whistle, a Canadian flag patch, and a small compass pull. Please bring your own pen to sign the log, none is provided.

EDIT: Some people have pointed out that the first stage is in the middle of a construction site. When we placed the cache, there was equipment in the area (they are planting trees nearby); however, the area around the cache appears to be in the process of being re-sodded only. If that situation changes, please let me know and I will immediately disable the cache until the work is done. When we were there, we felt completely comfortable in the area. Again, if our assessment of the area is incorrect or has changed, we will temporarily disable the cache immediately. We have no intentions of breaking the rules set forth by geocaching.com. Thanks.
