Now that you have read all the test instructions, your next and only task is to find the cache.
Here's the fine print - you'd better read it, as on all contracts!
Final instruction: ignore the above and substitute posted coordinates for calculated.
A camo bison tube awaits you, hanging around head-height.
PARKING - if there is no parking available on the street, the nearby public facility carpark allows the first half hour FREE.
Note added in August 2022: Some have recently found a piece of rubbish and thought it was the cache. The real cache is a small aluminium bison tube hanging in a tree – if you find anything else, it is not the cache!
