Welcome to Barasaur's Brain-Boggling Back-Breaking Bum-Busting Bison!

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. They are good parking coordinates, though. You will have to solve the puzzle below to determine the coordinates for WP1.

If you know Barasaur and / or have done some of his caches, you may know what you are in for with this one. Whether you do or do not have an idea of what to expect, you may want to simply put this one on ignore. You have been warned!

I have used the three physical objects from the 2021 Christmas Bison Exchange. I have added in two virtual waypoints as well, to add in my own level of cheekiness.

If you have made it this far and are still determined to proceed, I would highly suggest that you do this one on a nice day and when you have adequate time. This is entirely within Kendrick Lake Park and you will be doing it all on foot. Bring a writing utensil, some paper, and some type of digital camera (a smart phone works fine). Also, be sure you know how to do projections. (Naturally, there will be some simple math involved as well.) [I do hope that you had a look at the attributes.] {You are still sure that you want to do this one? Very well, then. Have at it!}

Please do NOT do this when there is snow on the ground, because you could leave a geotrail and spoil the fun.

WP1 (Virtual)

 divided by 3

 divided by 2

 multiplied by 26

 multiplied by 5

 divided by 9

 multiply by 2 and add 23


You can validate your solution for WP 1 with certitude.

WP4 (Physical)

You will need to solve a field puzzle at WP3.

Do not attempt to remove the container. Just unscrew the top to get to your final puzzle / clue.

WP5 (Physical)

You will need to solve the puzzle at WP4.

Yes, this is the bison! Do not remove the top from the attachment point. Just unscrew the bottom.

Kudos
