Trapper1 Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Cache-tech: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache.
When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link (Mine) across the top and then click on this cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
Cache-tech

Geocache Description:

This Cahce is located on beautiful Horseshoe Lake in Keewatin, Ontario (Northwestern Ontario). If you drive about 1.5 km down the Duffus Road, you will come to a small parking area on the right (will post the coordinates later). If you get to Grouse Drive on the Left you have gone too far.

After you park, there are stairs down to Horseshoe Lake with a pump house. From here you can launch a canoe/kayak and have a beautiful paddle across the lake or you can continue walking along Duffus road until you get to the first driveway on the right (there is a new house going up there). These people will gladly allow you to walk up the driveway and through the yard to the cache on the other side. The walk is very nice but there is not a marked trail. We placed it with our young children and didn't have any problems, just follow the coordinates. The difficulty depends on the way you access it.

We did this as a Mother's Day outing as a family. The cache is a roundish tupperware container with a blue lid. This is what is in the Cache:
Sewing fixup kit
Flashlight
Lighter
Candle
Deck of cards
Soap and container
Furby
Shoe laces
Utility knife
Pocket knife
Golf tees
Nail file
Kleenex
Dish cloth
Tweezers
Nail clippers
Gauze
Bottle opener

There is a log book with a pen and pencil. Please make sure you sign our book and log it here.
