Geocache Description:


This is a 7 part multi-cache but it's not strenuous and will give cachers a great feel for a highly underrated community park in the Sullivan area of Surrey. The final cache is a 1.5L cammo Lock&Lock.

The coordinates listed above will take you to the parking location for the start of this multi. The park is only open from dawn to dusk as there is a gate that blocks the parking lot at night, however you could park on 62A and walk in if desired. You may want a scratch pad and a pencil for working out some of the stages in this multi, but there is no significant math involved.


    Stage 1: To start off, you need to find a Juglans cinerea in the vicinity of the parking spot. Once found, there is a man-made object with a date on it very nearby. Use the date to answer the following. Proceed to the second stage located at N 49 0A.BCB W 122 4D.AB5.

    A = month numeral + 2
    B = year's second or third digit
    C = year's first digit
    D = year's final digit

    Stage 2: Here you will find another 'peace' of information on a man-made object and a great circle. Using the year listed and the number of objects in the circle, answer the following then proceed to the third stage located at N 49 0A.8E W 122 4D.F. On your way over to #3, pause and rest at the small pond and bench provided. It's a nice tranquil spot.

    E = year's last two digits plus 1 (E is two digits)
    F = number of objects in circle +785 (F is three digits)

    Stage 3: Stage 3 is a film canister micro hidden near the coordinates obtained above. Having trouble finding it? Check clue #1...don't forget to use the handy bridge nearby to get to the cache in case it's wet. The coordinates for the 4th location, which isn't too far away, are in this micro.

    Stage 4: This is another film canister micro. Coordinates for Stage 5 are inside. Aren't you glad I didn't stick it at the top of this thing? If you need a clue, check #2. Note the historic markings on this object. Don't go 'walk the plank' yet...you're more than half-way done!

    Stage 5: At this location there is a sign on a post with a 5-digit number and a 7-digit number which you will need to use to answer the following. Once solved, proceed to Stage 6 located at N 49 0A.GHI W 122.4D.JKL. For a small timer saver between Stage 5 & 6, see clue #3.

    G = fourth digit of the 5-digit number
    H = first digit of the 5-digit number
    I = third digit of the 5-digit number
    J = first digit of the 7-digit number
    K & L = J + 1

    Stage 6: You should be at a naturally tall object. There will be coordinates located somewhere on this object, which are for the 7th and final stage of this multi. You're nearly finished!!

    Stage 7: The final cache is in a out-of-the-way location, perfect for doing some trading. Check clue #4 for hints to locate it. Sign the logbook too! Hope you enjoyed this hunt. It should be a short (~400m), pleasant walk back to the parking location.


Please don't forget to replace the micro coordinate data for others to find. The original contents of this cache were a logbook, a tin of sports trivia coasters, some dolphin print coasters, miniature Spiderman 2 playing cards, a FTF prize, post-it notes, bike repair kit, pencil sharpener, and a City of Williams Lake trade dollar.
