Yeah, what can I say? CacheMinder will publish them when he will publish them. I've sent him an email, so hopefully they'll be out soon.

But, here's a hint for those who can't wait...

Syndicate: N 48° 22.318 W 089° 15.122
McVicar Creek: N 48° 26.998 W 089° 13.124

I put it into Marathon Airport TB Cache.

I thought that it was a geocoin that had been in the Terry Fox Cache for a while not 2 days

Do you want me to bring it out to Winnipeg or put it back in the Terry Fox Cache?

Looks like the geocoin is headed back to the Terry Fox Travel Bug Hotel,  Tuesday.
All logs will be deleted so that it never appeared in Marathon

C'mon guys! It's already been 20 minutes since the final cache was published! And with the FTF, STF and TTF bonuses (you did notice bonuses for the first three finders, didn't you? :) ) I would have thought you'd be all over it! :P

Calculated coords put me nowhere near city hall!  In fact they put me in PA.  Is that OK - or is there a typo on the webpage with the formulae??

I think I must be right near you Mechman, as I too have calculated coordinates in PA.

I am sooooo sorry. The minutes were way wrong. They should be:
North 48° 22.xxx
West 89° 14.xxx

So, the correct puzzle is:
North 48° 22.(Thunder Bay Transit - Oliver + Syndicate)
West 89° 14.(Thunder Bay Hydro - McVicar Creek + Algoma)

I seem to be short some money in the spreadsheet.  In the finds column - it should be $1350 I believe.  $1340 is the base for finding them all - and I got the extra $10 for city hall TTF.

Just thought you may like to know Shroom.

Also a quick check reveals that you missed a $30 find of Victoria Ave on July 26, by Pooma.  Perhaps it was logged after doing the scores for that week??

Thanks Mech, perhaps it was.

After I post the final updates on Friday, I'll invite everyone to take a look at their score (or anyone else's) and let me know if I've made any mistakes. I know that Knight's Football has logged finds on a few of the caches that aren't counted in the rent, but that's because he logged them at a date before they were even released. So, that will also have to be resolved. It's not over yet! :)
