Geocache Description:


Golden Horseshoe Multi-Cacher Multi-Cache
Stage 8 of the GHMCMC series.
Loose on the Bruce
by 1701eh



The Golden Horseshoe region of Ontario is the area around the western end of Lake Ontario, and includes such urban centers as Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. For this cache series, we've extended the region to Newmarket in the northeast, Waterloo in the northwest, Port Dover in the southwest, and Fort Erie in the southeast. More than half of the population of Ontario lives in or around these cities.

The Golden Horseshoe Multi-Cacher Multi-Cache is a cooperative effort of fourteen local Geocachers. Each of the individual Stage caches may be treated as a normal, single cache. You can complete the 14 Stages in any order. Each Stage will include a *SECRET*, written on the underside of the cache container lid. Don't forget to write it down if you plan to tackle the Final Stage!

See the GHMCMC Final page for more details!

The cache is hidden just off the Bruce Trail. The Bruce Trail runs along the Niagara Escarpment, which depending upon the foliage, offers a spectacular view of the Golden Horseshoe. The trailhead is at N43°21.980' by W79°51.587'

The cache contains numerous items for trading, a log book, a pen and pencil. It’s in a 1.2 litre container with a white lid marked with the letters GHMCMC Stage 8. Under the lid is the secret code that you will need to find the Main Cache in this series. Good luck with this hunt and the 14 others.

Note: The cache was moved to a new hiding spot on June 12, 2004
