Geocache Description:

Starts at the Manitoba Visitor Centre

This is an offset cache that uses the dates on a plaque to determine the final cache location. At the Manitoba Visitor Centre on Highway #1 is a plaque commemorating Ace Emmett. Using the dates on the plaque you will come up with the distance and bearing to the final cache.
Add these numbers
A) The year he arrived in Manitoba
B) The year the first Provincial Trunk Highway was designated
C) The year Ace died
Then add 12 and divide by 23.
The number you have is the bearing to the final in Degrees from True North.
Divide that bearing in half and subtract 6 for the number of metres away.

Cache is a small ammo can with an assortment of child friendly items. Please cover well to prevent muggles.
Have fun and good luck.

At the visitor centre are 24hr washrooms and even in the winter the cache should be easy to access.
