This cache series pays
tribute to the Bruce Trail, specifically to the portions of
the trail in Burlington.
These caches are NOT bicycle, stroller or wheelchair
friendly. They are are not recommended for night caching, as the
terrain would make them very dangerous. The shortest hike is about
1km, round-trip and the longest could be around 4km or more
round-trip. All caches are just off the Bruce Trail, in
Burlington.
These caches, though challenging, will reward you with some of
the most beautiful hikes this area has to offer. Some are magical
and mysterious, some are breathtaking. All, at some point, offer
beautiful views. May you enjoy these areas as much as I did in
discovering them.
Bruce Almighty (Burlington) #5 - Cavelet,
too!
To find this cache, you must use the completed puzzle from
Bruce Almighty (Burlington) #1 - Rock 'n' Wood. Take the North
values of the two circled letters you found in Bruce Almighty
#4, and disregarding the decimal, add to 25.412 to get the
North coordinate. Take the West values of the two circled letters
you found in Bruce Almighty #4, and disregarding the
decimal, add to 53.160 to get the West coordinate.
Please Note:
- N 43° and W 079° are always
assumed.
- Always remove decimal point before
calculations and replace it after calculations.
- Self-serve parking $ 5.00, but it is good
for three caches!

- Please exercise extreme caution. These
trails are often near the edges of cliffs. Do not do this cache at
night.
Time for some additional notes (October 8, 2006):
Since many cachers have taken this series on, often making the same
"mistakes", I've decided to add a few notes, which I originally
left out, simply in the interest of trying to cut down on the
already overly long texts. Hopefully, these will be of benefit for
those in the midst of the series and those yet to take it
on.
- The caches DO get progressively
longer. It is not your imagination. They were deliberately designed
that way.
- Caches 2 & 3 are designed to be
done together, without returning to your vehicle in between. They
can certainly be done separately, but knowing they were planned to
be done together may help you.
- Cache 5, The Final and the Bonus, were
also designed to be done together, if at all possible. They, too,
can, of course, be done separately, but you may miss out on some of
the enjoyment and some of the beautiful views.
- When you are at Cache 5 and you
calculate where the final is, you PROBABLY have not made a
mathematical error. It really is that far!
- Given the above information, if you
are looking for an after-work hike, these may not be for you.
However, if you enjoy a good, strenuous after-work hike and at
certain times of the year, are prepared in case it gets dark,
Caches 1, 4 and the Bonus might be an option. 2 is also possible,
but you may regret not doing 2 & 3 at
once.
