You’ve driven by it thousands of times. Who or what was
Hermitage? Why did they name a road after Hermitage? Where does
Hermitage Road go? Why does it merit its own interchange on the
mighty TransCanada Highway?
Well, this cache will answer none of these questions!
The whole point of bringing you here is so you can tell your
friends, loved ones and fellow cachers that you have been on the
“famous” Hermitage Road. You can access this cache while traveling
eastbound or westbound on the TransCanada Highway; there is a one
lane underpass. Please do not park on the TransCanada
Highway.
This drive-up cache should provide a couple of minutes of
diversion. You are searching for a well-camo'd, magnetic, green
bison tube so BYOP. Please rehide carefully to preserve the
challenge of the hunt for the next cacher. Be sure you listen for a
“click” when replacing the cache.
This cache is one of three caches we’ve hidden along the
TransCanada Highway between Calgary and Canmore. This stretch of
road is well travelled by the GeoKs during the summer and fall as
we hit the hiking trails. The cache containers will be getting
larger as you head west / smaller as you head east. You can decide
what order you would like to find them as they are all accessable
eastbound or westbound.
NOTES: All cache hides were constructed using materials salvaged
elsewhere. There is no need to cross/climb any fencing to retrieve
the caches.
UPDATE (Sep. 22, 2008): Due to consistently positive feedback,
we have added two more caches to the series
Ridge Road GC1GG5D and
Triple S Red Angus GC1GG60.
If you haven't already found it, we encourage you to take
Hermitage Road south to hunt for Sleepy_hollow's
A Little off the Beaten Track GC1AY10.
