Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

*** 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.
For more info about LB hybrids see: http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#letterbox

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.

A great area- a bit more snow and it'll be gone till spring. Thanks for bringing us here- enjoyed the trails.

ThreeR's out for a Christmas Eve caching trip and to take some pictures of the awesome hoar frost that developed throughout a humid winter day. Took the opportunity to find two caches that have been on our list for awhile. Thanks for the fun cache, these are the ones R3 likes to do, following directions and finding clues to lead us to the cache. Merry Christmas!

133: The snow has changed to rain again, but it is still difficult to cover your tracks. Down from Owen Sound with Where's Wendy, and enjoyed the walk. SL TFTC
