A simple traditional cache in what was once Mountain Township
Mountain Township was a rural farming township with a rich history. It was comprised of farmland and 4 villages, Mountain, South Mountan, Inkerman and Hallville. Thanks to the Ontario government's massive push for almalgamation of municipalities, it ceased to exist on January 1, 1998, as it became part of North Dundas Township. 4 days later, the area was hit with a massive ice storm. Authorities still claim that was a coincidence...
With a name like Mountain, the relative flatness of the township is often the butt of jokes. The township was not named for any geological feature, but in fact was named after the Right Reverend Jacob Mountain (1750 - 1825), the first Protestant Bishop of Quebec.
This cache is placed in an old cemetery in the former community of Vancamp. The cemetery is still cared for, but some of the stones are showing serious signs of deterioration. The only thing I have been able to learn about Vancamp is that the post office opened here in 1877 under the care of Byron Vancamp. Before this date it was known as Vancamp Mills. There was also a cheese factory in the town.
You are looking for a small camouflaged Lock-n-Lock container, that will hold small items and coins.
