Geocache Description:


This is a Letterbox cache - the stamp is not a trade item - PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE IT!!!

Historically...

Although there is little left to attest to this place of worship, lot 13, con 7, Peel Twp. was the location of the Goshen Methodist church that served this community. Located a short distance south of the Goldstone sideroad, Goshen was on a three-point charge. In essence, the service was at Goshen church in the morning, Goldstone in the afternoon, and Stirton on the Peel-Maryborough townline south of Drayton, in the evening. Goshen is about four miles from Goldstone. The Goshen Church became a United Church in 1925, and was closed in 1948.

Letterbox-ingly...

At the posted coords, you are going to need to follow these directions to find the letterbox cache container.

  1. Start off at posted coordinates.
  2. At a cardinal direction of north-west by west, take 212 half-steps.
  3. When you arrive, you will see an old pole. On this pole there with some old signs. There is one sign with three words over top of each other. Enter the top word on this sign into the appropriate geochecker to get some of the final coordinates.
  4. In the middle word, take all of the letters less than “G”. Convert these to numbers using A=1, B=2, C=3 … Z=26.
  5. Use each digit in its word order to create a new number in the form “XXX”, then save it for a moment.
  6. Using the letters that are followed by periods... convert each one to its numerical equivalent using A=1, B=2, C=3 … Z=26, then add the digits together.
  7. Add both numbers together and divide by one thousand to create the offset of the form 'X.XXX'.
  8. Add this calculated offset to this fake westerly coordinate "37.840".
  9. Get the green light from the Final Geochecker and go claim your smiley, if you can, BMWhahahaha!
