*** The cache is NOT at the posted
co-ordinates. ***
Coords take you to the parking
location. The trailhead is up ahead approximately 140m (or less
depending where you park along the road) N43 30.680 W80
13.172.
A letterbox, no trade items. Do not trade out the
stamp. Leave it in the box. One of the purposes of a letterbox
is to collect rubberstamp images instead of trinkets. I hope you'll
join in the fun and bring along your personal letterbox
passport/journal (some people like to carry index cards then
scrapbook them later).
Bring your own ink (recommended colour: black) if you
plan to stamp your letterbox passport/journal.

Directions:
- Park on the road and walk to the trailhead.
- Continue to walk along the path. You will cross over a short
boardwalk
- About 70 meters from the boardwalk you will pass another path
that travels NW. Next to that path you'll see a tree marked with a
faint red arrow.
- Don't take this trail, keep walking about 40 more steps (the
trail will curve a bit).
- You'll come to a crossroad in the trail.
- At this point you should see a sapling with a red trail
marker.
- Turn left (south)
- Walk a few more meters where you will come to a old gate/fence
post marked with a red trail paint splotch. Stop here.
- Take the trail to your left towards the water.
- When you are about mid-point of the reservoir, look to your
left, towards the old wire fence.
- You'll see a pink/grey (granite, I think) boulder approximately
4 feet long and 2 feet high. Beside it are a few smaller
rocks.
- Look under the smaller pink rock that is directly under the
wire fence. (For reference, there's an old fence post approx. 3
meters SW of the rock).
Since it is so close to the trail you'll need to keep an eye out
for muggles.
I have added an additional waypoint for the final location. I
want to make my letterboxes serve both the letterboxing community
and the geocaching community. By adding an additional waypoint,
geocachers who prefer finding boxes by coords can do so and those
that prefer the traditional letterbox method can ignore the
additional waypoint.
Winter: may be frozen in. Not snow-friendly.
