Thunderbird Memorial Square - A Thunderbird is a legendary creature in the history and culture of some Indigenous nations in North America. It is considered a supernatural being of power and strength and was chosen as the City of Abbotsford's crest when the Districts of Abbotsford and Matsqui amalgamated in 1995.
You are looking for a plastic ammo can!
Look for the plaque on the West side of the main entrance, near the fire alarm panel. At the bottom of the plaque there is a date. Use that to compute the coordinates for the final
North 49 AB.CDE West 122 FG.HIJ
Then for the letters, use these:
A = (second digit of date) - (first digit of year)
B = (first digit of date) + (second digit of date)
C = (first digit of date)
D = (last digit of year) - (first digit of date)
E = (first digit of date) + (first digit of year)
F = (first digit of year)
G = (second digit of year)
H = (third digit of year) - (first digit of date)
I = (second digit of year) - (first digit of date) - (second digit of date)
J = (second digit of date) - (first digit of year)
Please note geocaching guidelines: Geocache placements do NOT damage, deface or destroy public or private property. Caches are placed so that the surrounding environment, whether natural or human-made, is safe from intentional or unintentional harm. Property must not be damaged or altered to provide a hiding place, clue, or means of logging a find. The only exception is when caches are placed with permission by the property owner. The Abbotsford GeoTour caches are all placed or installed with permission.
