This is the fourth of seven stashes (or is it 'staches?) hidden in uptown Waterloo. The boxes are placed such that you could do all seven in an afternoon, if you park at Uptown Waterloo Square and walk or bike to each location. For this particular clue, there is also parking available on the street near the intersection that is your starting point. These boxes are hidden in somewhat visible areas, so please use great stealth in retrieving and replacing them. Have fun!


The author Alan Moore has had a considerable influence on the comic book genre, having published several highly acclaimed works including some of my favourites: V for Vendetta, The Watchmen, From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, Top Ten and Promethea (NOTE: These books are all aimed at adults, not children). Find the intersection that sounds like his name and your search will begin...

Go to the corner with the diamond and follow the long gate along his last name. Walk all the way past one of my favourite gothic revival landmarks in Uptown Waterloo, continuing through the 4-way intersection. Look for the Mill on your left, then walk along the tracks running alongside the right of the building. Follow the signs with two-thirds of a domino on them. Walk past the line of cedar trees on your right and past the graffiti on your left. When the concrete path ends and the overgrown forested area begins, look for the fence running perpendicular to the tracks. Where that fence begins is what appears to be a very old and rundown sign nestled in the branches of some trees. Look in between those trees, under the sticks and rocks...
