Geocache Description:


Short straightforward 5 stage multi. Get the information from the 4 stages in order to find the final. The only reason this is a Difficulty 4 is because the cache slipped a couple inches too deep into it's hiding spot and hence you will need something with a hook to coax it out. A coat hanger would work well or something that is a few inches long with a hook at the end of it or maybe you will be able to get it out if you have skinny fingers.

Stage 1 (posted coordinates)
Here you will find a plaque for COLONEL WILLIAM CHISHOLM. Directly below his name is 2 years. What is the difference between the 2 years.

Stage 2 (N43 26.534 W79 39.981)
Here you will find a cairn with a plaque on it. How many words are on this plaque?

Stage 3 (N43 26.516 W79 40.047)
Here you will find some animals. How many moose and wolves are here?

Stage 4 (N43 26.491 W79 40.044)
What is the last digit of the year that Bill died? This is also a good place to sit down and do the math to figure out the final as the cache is closeby.

Final
Add the 4 values that you obtained from the first 4 stages and add it to the decimal minutes portion of both the following north and south coordinates.
