Geocache Description:

The Adirondack Pond cache is the tenth in a series of caches that highlight some of the publicly accessible but little known ponds in and around London. The caches are all found in close proximity to and with a great view of the pond. The terrain is easy, parking is close by, but the puzzle to find the coordinates of the cache is challenging.


The initial coordinates are in the parking lot off Southdale Avenue, in the Westmount area of southwest London. Alternate parking is along Adirondack Drive. As I was placing the cache, I spied about 18 ducks, swimming in the pond. The pond's perimeter has been planted with numerous trees, and some tall weeds. It is a very popular area for muggles of all ages, and there is a well-used soccer pitch just east of the pond. Be stealthy!

The coordinates of the cache can be found be determining the numbers from the following clues:


”The answer to life, the universe, and everything”, number of curls in Shirley Temple’s hair, novel by author Thomas Disch, Japan’s country telephone code, Janis Ian song, the founding of the Danish city of Odense.



You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

The cache is small, and has a few small toy dinosaurs to trade. Please reclose and rehide carefully after signing the log.

Please take the opportunity to visit some or all of the other eleven pond puzzle caches in the series. And when you log your find, be sure to mention what sort of birds or wildlife you encounter on your trek.
