This series is designed to introduce you to What3Words. The map of our planet has been created using a variety of formats. Geocachers use the system of Latitude and Longitude coordinates. With practice, we become adept at locating objects just about anywhere.
The history of What3Words (W3W) goes back to music concerts. Chris Sheldrick, one of the founders of W3W, worked in the music industry and organized live events around the world. He quickly discovered that people struggled with wayfinding every day. Getting lost trying to find events was pretty common. Street maps lag behind changes or additions to the grid. So, if a neighborhood is razed and re-platted, sometimes, the streets are just ... gone.
Enter What3Words. The London-based internet company developed a global address system composed of a three-word location pinpoint service by dividing the globe into 57 TRILLION 3-meter x 3-meter squares. No two squares use the same 3 words in the same order. So, if a street disappears or the name gets changed, the unique W3W position will always be in the same place. If you're using W3W, you'll STILL get where you need to go.
To start, I'll provide the needed words in the proper order. Because there are a few different websites that convert words to coordinates and produce slightly different results, I am using Certitude to confirm your answer:
You can validate your puzzle solution with

A correct answer will also give you a hint to help find the cache.

There is a $2 day fee charged for all users of the Heritage Trail. Considering all the fun you'll be having, it's a pretty cost-effective way to spend the day. The $$ go right back into trail maintenance, so your visit will help keep the Heritage Trail in good shape for years to come!
All the containers are the same size and color. If you look for a cache and can't locate it, please record the DNF and I'll be out to check on it as quick as I can. Throwdowns are HIGHLY DISCOURAGED.
Best of luck!
