Geocache Description:

***THE PHYSICAL CACHE CONTAINER IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES***

We hid this cache to mark our last camping weekend of the summer in 2005 and to honour our pet Nona The Kamping Kat. The cache is a camouflaged ammocan and contains a variety of cat toys along with a picture of Nona, a log book and the standard Geocaching letter. We're sad to report that Nona passed away suddenly on November 19, 2011 after being with us for 12 years and one day.

Go to the listed coordinates. There you will find a Geological Survey sign and a brass cap. On the brass cap there is a four digit number. Assign each digit to a letter as show below and prepare to do some simple math to find the final cache location which is hidden nearby.

First digit = V
Second digit = X
Third digit = Y
Fourth digit = Z

Now for the math!

A = V + Z
B = X - V
C = Z + X - V
D = Y - 2V
E = Y - X + V
F = Y - Z - X - V
G = Y + V
H = Z - X - V

The final cache is here:

N50° AB.CDE
W115° FG.XYH

Enjoy!

NOTE: The symbols in the title of the cache are a tribute to GC3AE6, which was a great cat-themed cache in Nose Hill Park which had to be archived.
