Brampton and Bramalea are filled with green belts running through them everywhere. Originally created as a means of draining off rain water and flood control the luscious spaces were kept trimmed. A few years ago the city decided to save some money by only trimming near the path ways and allowing the rest to become over grown. Now they are thriving with small animals and birds.

This is a multi stage cache that requires a little math along the way. The above coordinates will lead you to the tee off. When you arrive at each stage you will find a white tag attached some where with the cache waypoint id and the hole number. Along with the cache id and hole number you will find two letters. Using the instructions and table below each tag will lead you to the next hole. The ninth hole will lead you to the cache itself. Inside the lid of the cache you will find a final code. Keep this code to find a final secrete cache. Park at N 43°44.018 W 079°44.666 and follow the path to the tee off.

You are looking for a 1 litre green painted container originally loaded with:

• 2 mini measuring tapes


• Silly Putty


• Light up stamp

Tee Off.

Make sure you write down the code found under the lid. You will need it to find another cache when combined with the codes from other cahces.

Easy enough to do the tags, but sneaking the cache out without being seen is harder.

Thanx, Tony

Alright, finally found this one! Original attempt was cut short due to the missing tags. Great concept for a multi! Considering all my attempts were in the dark, it kind of cranked the level of difficulty up a notch or two. Traded a Leather Keychain and a pack of Ear Plugs for the Micro-Level. Looking forward to the next one...

Thanks for a great cache,
TOMTEC

Had a fun time doing this cache...
