A letterbox cache located along the Etobicoke Creek.
Here is the riddle:

My garments fall silent
when they tread the earth,
inhabit my dwelling,
or stir the water.

Sometimes my trappings
and the lofty air
raise me high
above the houses of men
and the power of clouds
then bears me far and wide
over the people.

My adornments resound
loudly and melodiously.
They sing clearly
when I am not resting
on the flood and the earth--
a soaring spirit.



Can you guess who I am?

The answer can be found at the cache.
This is a letterbox cache, please DON'T take or trade the stamp out.

I have wanted to hide a letterbox for a long time and I wanted to do it "right" so struggled a bit creating a hand-carved stamp. There is also a stamp pad in the cache. Space is very tight in the cache, I did not even have room for a pen.

I always enjoy adding stamps to my letterbox book so please add this one to your book and add your own stamp to the logbook inside the cache. If you do not have a stamp, just draw a little something and sign your name. Enjoy!

To find the letterbox, go to the posted coordinates where you will find a bench. Have a seat and look over your right shoulder. Do you see a large tree close by in the woods? Go there to find the letterbox in the tree.

E of team_BG found 3 caches in a row. It's something E of team_BG likes to call a geo hat trick. J and E of team_BG worked together to get the cache.

Lots of dog walkers out on a cool January morning, but none of them seemed too concerned with what I was up to. This was a nice cache in a nice location -- I was particularly happy to see a hand-carved stamp in the box. tftc.
