Geocache Description:

In order to find the Rouge Valley GeoPoker 2006 - Final cache, you will first need to find the other 6 caches in this series.

There are TWO containers at this cache location.

The posted coordinates above are not for the cache, but can be used for parking for all of the caches in this series

Complete rules and player standings can be found on my Rouge Valley GeoPoker 2006 web page as follows:
Rouge Valley GeoPoker 2006

Once you have obtained your initial hand of GeoPoker (5 cards), you may discard up to 3 cards from your current hand. Note that in GeoPoker the Ace is always considered to be high card and is never to be considered as a 1 in a straight. Once you have found the first 6 caches in this series and recorded the 12 letters from under the lids of those 6 caches, you are ready to find this cache.

Get the values of the 12 letters from the following chart. Add the 12 numbers together, divide the result by 1000 and then add them to both the North and West of the following set of meaningless coordinates. This will then be the location of this final cache.
N43 47.396
W79 07.979
Note: I've included a hint to verify your math, if needed.

When you find this final cache, check which cards you drew from the 5 card caches with the list provided in the main cache container. Discard up to 3 cards into the plastic bottle container. Next replace them with an equal amount of cards that you just discarded, from the corresponding deck sleeve from the main container at this cache. Yes there are 2 containers here. The card codes in the final are different than that of the card 1 thru 5 caches, so to check those codes you will need to do that when you get home and to see what your final hand is.

To check online which cards you have, enter your deck and card codes (these are case sensitive...i.e., enter in uppercase...do not include the initial letter of the card code which corresponds to your deck or the dash...just the last 5 or 6 characters after the dash) into the URL in the following format:
http://ca.geocities.com/geocachingcanada/poker2006/[5digitdeckcode]/[cardcode].html
As an example, if your Deck Code is Z9999 and your Card Code is Z-99ZZ99, you would enter the following URL into your web browser to display the card that you have:
http://ca.geocities.com/geocachingcanada/poker2006/Z9999/99ZZ99.html
You can look at each of your cards this way.

Before you log your finds online, make sure you email me the following:
Deck Letter you are playing.
Initial 5 cards drawn.
Cards discarded at final.
Cards drawn at final.
Final GeoPoker hand.

Good luck and hope you win, but more importantly have some fun.

Important Cache Hiding Information: When rehiding each of the cache containers for all the caches in this series, please make sure that they are all completely covered, can't be seen, and also standing in an upright position. Also always, the hints should be specific enough to find each cache.

If something is not clear on how to play GeoPoker or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me.
