The above coordinates are not at the cache. They should take you to a nearby parking lot.

Welcome to Ottomatique. This is a 4 wheeled kind of place and we’re willing to trade. In order to find it, you will need to locate City of Winnipeg route numbers for the streets listed below. Using that information, you will be able to determine the actual coordinates at

N49° 48.ABC W097° 10.XYZ

Where:
A = the largest digit in Notre Dame Ave route number
B = the smallest digit in Nairn Ave route number
C = the sum of all digits of Waverly St route number

X = the middle digit of McPhillips St route number
Y = the highest digit in the Oak Point Hwy route number
Z = the lowest digit of Wilkes Ave. route number

There are a number of ways to find the above information (if you got this far already, you’re very close). If time is on your side, enjoy the drive! The cache is a small lock’n’lock camoed container filled with automotive type
items and a FTF certificate.

This is kind of a push, pull or drag event and we won’t say no to anyone. C’mon down and see if we can do a deal!

NOTE: Do not park on the busy street to the south,
parking is to the west and north on an access street.

Happened to be biking nearby, so I swung by the final stage to check on it at random... make sure it's still there, not damp, etc, etc. Everything is up to snuff here, and it was nice to revisit some of the cache finds of long ago. Ahh, memories .

[Decided to give this one a shot after work today. Yay for geocaching in the dark without a flashlight! Luckly, I biked to work today, so I didn't have to worry about parking. Bit of a rough bikeride to the cache location, but at least it wasn't wet or anything. No geese either strangely enough. Guess this one is just 'cleaner' at night . Probably for the best I now own a GPS system, otherwise I might have] gone too far and hunted around that mess of bushes for hours. [One thing I AM really glad about is that this particular cache didn't have any noticeable 'geotrails' leading to the cache. Made for some actual looking around
Took: Nothing
Left: Chainmail ball and logbook entry (didn't have anything vehicle-related to leave ]
