Deadman's Cove Coastal Trail Cache Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Cache-tech: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have had no contact with the cache owner since my last note and there has been no notes posted to the cache page in that 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:


Deadman's Cove Cache - Harbour Breton is located on the south coast of Newfoundland. Take the Bay D'Espoir Highway, Route 360, south for 200 kilometers. As you get closer to the coast, the highway takes you over some very high country and then snakes along the tops of fiords offering a scenic, panoramic view of Connaigre Bay. Harbour Breton has a magnificent land-locked harbour and is one of the oldest and largest fishing centres on the south coast of Newfoundland.

Deadman’s Cove Beach and Coastal Trail
Relax on the sandy shores of Deadmans' Cove where you can have a picnic or hike along the coastal trail that offers fantastic views of the coastline. From here you can view Brunette and Sagona Islands as well as Miquelon (France)on a fine day. In 1964 an experimental attempt to introduce bison to Newfoundland was made, using Brunette Island as a test site. This attempt did not prove to be successful.

The Coastal Trail connects with the Mile Pond Boardwalk for a combined hike of 3.8 KM. The trail is suitable for all ages, however, there are areas where long staircases have to be climbed. The cache is about 1.5KM from the entrance to the baseball/soccer field.

The Cache is a clear plastic jar with a white plastic screw top. Standing over the cache you will have a beautiful view of the beach below.
