Geocache Description:

Cache is located along the M'Chigeeng Hiking Trail.

The trail system starts behind the ball park/Pow Wow grounds in M'Chigeeng (formerly West Bay ON.) Park at N45 48.836' W082 09.240'. There is an elevation change of 83m but there are several sets of stair steps (but not a good hike for small children). The name Manitou is Ojibway for God Hence Manitoulin means Gods Land. The cache is located in an area where canopy plays tricks with your GPS so I'm encrypting a fairly good hint. The cache container is a 4 liter ice cream tub. Since this trail is on the First Nation Reserve of M'Chigeeng I'm am going with a native theme therefore cache content are 9 Dream Cathchers.
However I'm not requesting that you leave something native. Please take one of the Dream cathers and leave whatever. The history of Dream Catchers can be found through Google search engine by typing in Dream Catchers and choosing Dream Catcher (Lakota Ledgend). While in the area please visit Get 'er Dun Bell by Priceboy and Lulubell which is located along this same trail system about a km away.
