This two stage Multi cache is to honour the famous Coleman Frog.
The Legend
In the late 1800's, Fred Coleman (who also owned
the Barker House Hotel in Fredericton) operated a small hotel near
Killarney Lake for the benefit of summer visitors. Coleman claimed
that there was a huge frog living in the lake. To lend credence to
this story, Coleman set out every day with baked bread and
buttermilk to feed the creature, which apparently enjoyed such
unfrogmanlike delicacies. This relationship went on until one sad
day in 1885. That spring, fishermen were not getting as many fish
from Killarney Lake as they has anticipated. Dynamite would do the
trick, flush the fish out, they said.
Alas, according to Coleman, they also flushed out his frog
friend quite dead. The grieving Coleman could not bear to part from
a friend of such long standing, so he had the frog stuffed and
mounted. For many years, the Coleman Frog reposed in the lobby of
the Barker House, It is now in the York-Sunbury Museum, all 42
pounds of it, an object of either skepticism or wonder. After all
is said and done, Fred Coleman was the only human being who ever
saw that frog in action!
