Geocache Description:

THERE IS NO CACHE HIDDEN AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES. This cache will take you through some of Edmonton's most scenic areas. You will require a vehicle for this one - a bicycle is not recommended. This should be a short drive - less than 10 minutes if you don't get lost.

1. Begin your drive at Government House Park at the following coordinates: N53 32.334 W113 32.366 and set your odometer to zero.

2. Follow the river valley EAST

3. Turn left at the pedestrian crosswalk with lights (approx. 1.94 km from the start)

4. Follow the windy road

5. Turn right at the office building with 3 letters

6. Turn right again in 119 meters from the last turn

7. On the corner of an intersection, on either your left or right, you will see a building with a musical connotation. Make a 90 degree turn in the OPPOSITE direction(i.e. turn either left or right on the corner, away from that building).

8. Stay in your left lane and follow the road.

9. Between the 6 km and 6.2 km marks, find a side road and pull your vehicle over safely.

10. The cache is hidden within a 400 to 500 meter walk from your vehicle (bearing approx 67 degrees, meaning east-northeast-ish) at the following coordinates: N 53 YY.Y81 W 113 XX.X57 If you followed the directions properly, you should be able to figure out XXX and YYY.

The cache is hidden at a very scenic location. Enjoy the view and happy hunting!!! However, be aware that part of your walk is not on a paved trail and conditions can get very muddy depending on the weather and season.

You do NOT have to touch any old metal to find the cache. Stay clear of rusty nails - ouch!

This puzzle was part 4 of 5 caches that constituted Ron Jeremy's Giant Edmonton Puzzle Cache which has long been archived. Please also visit Mill Creek Picture cache.
