Morier Park Cache Traditional Cache
onecrazycanadian: Hi,
The low health score on this cache has remained below 60 since my last contact. I see no sign of any maintenance being done to correct this and I have had no response from the owner since my last contact. Due to the lack of response I have no idea if any corrective action has been taken or if the owner has confirmed the cache is still in place. Consequently I am archiving the cache at this time. If the owner does happen to complete the maintenance required and wish to activate the cache again just let me know and I will consider unarchiving it once the issue is resolved.
Thanks!

Small Seine River Park. Good for dogs and nature-lovers.
Floods out in spring every year but cache should be above water level.
The first homes were built in St. Vital around 1822, with retired fur traders claiming their own farms. Lots were generally long and narrow, ensuring each homestead had a ready source of water from the Red and Seine rivers. With its concentration of market gardens, St. Vital provided fresh foods and dairy products needed by a burgeoning city.
Until the 1920s this was the main activity in the community. With changing times, homes began to be built in the Elm Park area until the depression and the second world war slowed development. Following the war, St. Vital saw a burst of development which has continued until now. The three Morier brothers, Olier, Oscar and Horace, established one of the first and largest market gardens in the St. Vital area, on land bounded by the Red and Seine rivers, Morier and Vivien avenues.
In the early days workers slept overnight in the spring months in the four greenhouses stoking fires to fend off frost. The garden had its own well and windmill which operated until 1955. Morier Park is now located on land donated by the Morier family.
