"The Trans-Taiga Road is a gravel road that runs 666 km east
from near the top end of the James Bay Road. It was built to access
the various dams and generating stations that extend upriver along
the La Grande River....This is an extremely remote road, leading
666 km east - almost to Labrador - with no settlements or towns
aside from Hydro Quebec's settlements for workers (not open to the
public). At the far end you will be 745 km from the nearest town!
This is the farthest you can get from a town on a road in North
America!... Along this road is also the farthest north point you
can travel on a road in eastern Canada." --- partial
description of the road where this cache is located, from
this site.
I placed this cache in a VERY, VERY remote location. The
challenge--- and the fun!--- is getting there. Once you're there,
the actual cache is an easy find. But it'll take some doing just to
get there. It'll involve some four-wheel-drive roads, some camping,
and maybe carrying some extra gas.
On our trip there, we saw 5 wolves, 2 bears, and myriad other
animals. We also saw the enormous lakes and reservoirs that fill
the area. It's very wild, very scenic, and very, very remote.
This site has all the info you'll need about the Trans-Taiga
Road and how to safely traverse it: http://jamesbayroad.com/ttr/index.html PLEASE READ IT
before trying to get to this cache!
Current maps of the area are somewhat inaccurate. TRUST YOUR GPS
more than the maps. For example, some maps show the cache location
in the middle of a large reservoir, but it's on solid ground,
honest! It's just that the maps of this remote area are only
approximate. Just follow the road and trust your GPS, and you'll be
fine.
When you bag this cache, you'll really have acomplished
something: It's one of the most remote caches in the world! Take a
little time to explore the several side roads in the area: They
peter out pretty quickly and become impassible, but by exploring
the area, you'll be certain you've gone as far as you can---
literally the end of the road system!
