Chetwynd is arguably best known for its annual chainsaw carving competition which is held every year and invites many talented carvers from all over the world to compete. The resulting statues are placed around the town and give it a rather unique look. The main street is lined on both sides with numerous carvings from past years' events.
The annual carving competition takes place in town, every year in June. The final cache container is not located at the posted coordinates but near the park where this event takes place. In order to determine what the final coordinates are, you will have to visit each given waypoint and find a number of carvings that will help decode the final location. All the carvings around town are fitted with little plaques which tell the viewer some background information on the statue, its carver, the date it was carved, and more. Each stage of this multicache will have one or two carvings which you will have to use to gather the information for the final cache location. Your task is to find the following carvings and use the information to decode the final coordinates.
The final coordinates are:
N 55° 41.ABC'
W 121° 36.DEF'
Carving #1
C = On the plaque on the picnic table in this location. It states the name of the person whose memory it was donated in. Add 3 to the number of letters in this person's last name.
Carving #2
F = On the plaque on the picnic table in this location. It states the name of the person whose memory it was donated in. What position does the last letter of this person's first name hold in the alphabet? (Example: A=1, B=2, ....)
Carving #3
B = The first digit of the year this carving was made.
Carving #4
D = The number of letters in the name of the country this carver was from.
Carving #5
A = The number of letters in the last name of the person who made this carving.
Carving #6
E = The total number of "A's" in the name of the carving and the name of the person that made the carving.
Good Luck and enjoy!
