The cache is not located at the coordinates listed above,
but within 5 kilometres. There are two possible methods for
obtaining the correct coordinates, one of the methods is to decode
the image below.
A series of caches remembering
Vancouver Transit. This cache was originally hidden between
October 09 and November 17 2001. This is a small, black,
cylindrical micro cache. Rehide as you found it, please. There
is no need to leave the trail. This cache
is wheelchair accessible. Pretend you're tying your
shoe laces when you retrieve and replace the cache. You should
bring your own pen to sign the logbook, in the event the tiny
pencil is unusable.
About Vancouver Transit
Vancouver Transit (GC19D6) was a "moving
cache" and one of the most popular caches ever to hit the lower
mainland. Once found, the cache finder would pick up the entire
cache and re-hide it in a new location, somewhere in the Greater
Vancouver area.
From September 2001 to August 2004, Vancouver Transit made over
150 different stops, each one lasting anywhere from a few hours to
a few days before moving on to the next.
Vancouver Transit is no more, but Pharmadude thought it would be
great to memorialize the stops it made along the way by placing
permanent caches where the TRANSIenT ones once lay. Everyone is
invited to join the Vancouver Transit Memorial Project (VTMP).
Here is how it will work.
- Pharmadude will maintain a master list of the original VT cache
locations.
- If you know which location you wish to commemorate, email
pharmadude (AT) shaw (DOT) ca and he will check your location off
the list.
- If you would like to be assigned a location, email Pharmadude
with the general area you have in mind, and he will send you the
coordinates of nearby VT cache locations.
- Caches may be of any size or type, and should be placed as
close to the original location as possible. Since the exact
original location may only be known to as few as two people (the
original hider and finder), good judgement will come into
play.
- If you decide to make it a multi-cache, remember that the final
coordinates are already common knowledge.
- Your cache title will begin with the heading "VTMP No. XXX:"
where XXX is a number Pharmadude will assign based on the original
VT cache. Following this header, you can add a further title of
your choosing.
- Your cache description should also include the date the
original VT cache was hidden.
