This Calgary cache gots it all. It’s gots your basic puzzle. It’s gots conversions. It’s gots projections. It's gots off-sets. It's gots a small container. It's gots a micro/nano container. It's gots a regular container. It’s gots a nice walk in the woods. It’s gots a not so nice walk in the woods. Please tread softly. One cache, four waypoints and you gots them all. What more could you want?
CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.
Waypoint A
While strolling through the park one day, I bumped into this lady with an umbrella who kept muttering over and over to herself the following phrase:
“I must hide this thing. ‘Tis a thing above beauty, so delicate and educable.”
She then inadvertently dropped a slip of paper that had the following typed on it:
34 29 02 ^/ 28 01 03 05 04 06 29 30 31 32 33 34 18 29 32 18 09 ^^ 21 01

(Okay, okay! It won’t be as elegant as I would have liked it to be. Your decryption will not be so delicate and educable but we can ‘atone’ later. Hooked on phonics? I’m sure you’ll work it out and look low.) Logs and deadfall DO NOT need to be upturned or uprooted to find this small cache. Be gentle.
Here you will get a distance and bearing to Waypoint B.
Waypoint B
Here you should find some alpha-numeric characters (not the obvious black on yellow). Locate the date with the six digits. Add these six digits together. Your answer should be a two digit number that is less than 25. Multiply your answer by 0.001. Next, take your calculated answer and add it to the decimal portion of the following coordinates:
N50* 58.816 W114* 08.475. Go to Waypoint C.
Waypoint C
Here you should find a small micro cache that contains the coordinates for the final cache. This one might be a toughie. Seems to be popular tree around here.
Waypoint D
Huzzah! Gotcha? Final cache-in-a can with logbook, pencils, cachenote, some finders’ cards, a few trade items and to cap it off, an FTF prize.
Good luck and enjoy your hunts.
