Ma & Pa. The goodwill ambassadors of geocaching.
Ma is the quiet one. Pa does the talking. Lots of talking. Pa likes to talk. Just get him started on the topic of geocaching and let him go. Well maybe any topic. Sorry Pa, but I had to put that in there.
They are a power duo in the caching community, having played the game since early 2004. They have a hide and find number that would make even seasoned cachers envious. But it isn't all about numbers. Geocaching falls into their active life of hiking in summer and cross country skiing in winter. Anything that gets them moving.
Known in the Moncton/Shediac area for their series caches and annual Shediac Island ice walk, they are also two of the nicest people you will ever meet.
They are also best known locally and outside our area for their Micro Logic puzzles. To date over 130 of these sinister algebraic, alphametic, West African Voodoo, Area 51 cryptarithmetic mind benders. You either love or hate these puzzle caches. Or have a friend who has already solved them.
Because they like to cover distance and cache at the same time, here is a multi that will cover about a kilometer of total distance around a loop trail that I found behind the Faith Assembly Church on Mapleton Road. Remember that, a LOOP trail. No this is not a hint of any kind. The trail was once used as some sort of horse track I was told.
This is a cache to show my appreciation for all the hides Ma & Pa have placed for me to find ( and all the hours of my life lost solving Micro Logic Puzzles ).
Park on the church parking lot and head straight back across the field. You will find an opening there to get you to the first stage. This is a three stage multi.
I have permission from the church pastor, Pastor Fred Cormier, to place this cache here. It seems the church owns a lot of land, including the land this cache is on. He has no problem with people crossing the field behind the church to get to it as long as you are respectful of the property.
Stage 1 and Stage 2 are micro containers. The final is a Regular container.
Off you go.
