Geocache Description:

This is a cache I have been meaning to do for a while, but I have finally gotten my act together and here it is!

This is a simple multi-cache which will lead you through a small park in Port Dalhousie which contains 5 different monuments. This will seem more impressive when you see the size of the park (it is quite small). The coordiantes given are those of the monument closest to parking. There is plenty of free parking available, but the time of year and the weather will dictate how far away you have to park as the area can get busy in the summer. This is a multi-cache which is suitable to children of all ages, the walk is short and easy, and the final location is also very close. The only real danger is that you have to cross the street to get to the final cache, which you can either jaywalk across or there is a traffic light which you can use.

In order to reveal the location of the cache, you must answer the following questions and use the answers in the following manner.

N AB'CC.DEC
W FD'CG.DHG

Now, for the questions...

A-> The last digit of the year the Muir family left Scotland.
B-> The last digit of the year St. Catharines began hosting The Royal Canadian Henley Regatta.
C-> The first digit of the number of houses the community of Port Dalhousie grew from.
D-> The TOTAL number of individuals depicted on the boat as illustrated on the memorial dedicated to the first women rowers to compete in the Royal Canadian Regatta.
E-> The total number of words on the line that starts with 'Government' and ends with 'Heritage'
F-> The last digit of the year The World Championships were won in Denmark - Hint: D. Wright.
G-> The day of the month a particular monument was donated by Sachiko Ishikawa (take this number and subtract 1 from it)
H-> The number of Purple People Eaters seen grazing in the park while wandering around (this one could be tricky on Halloween, so I do not recommend this cache for October 31) :) This is meant as a joke, so go with your instinct on this one and you will be correct.

Ok, now, info about the cache itself...it is in an Altoids container which is still sporting its original markings (with the addition of the 'Geocaching.com'). It is in a reasonably busy area, but not really a location where people are likely to linger, so some stealth searching may be required. The cache has no real theme, it currently contains some forgein coins. Also, the cache is winter accessible, and is in a location which should not get enough snow to actually cover it.
