Geocache Description:


This cache has been place for GAG8. Please don't look for it before April 28 at 18:00.

In the 1960's a drunk driver was trying to get away from the police in Ottawa, he decided to outrun the police in the country-side, which is now known as the Anderson area. He turns on the side road, and turns out the lights hoping to lose the police. Back then, it was not uncommon for children to play on the side of the road. The drunk driver struck the child who was skipping rope and killed her. The family, being poor, couldn't afford a proper burial. They errected a huge white cross on the side of the road, which marks her memory. The family is now long gone, but the locals keep care of it - and claim it to be nothing more than a religious thing, and are very tight-lipped about the story.

In the area where she was killed the trees are all dead, nothing grows, and this extends several feet from the side of the road on the right hand side.

Over the years, people have seen the girl skipping rope in the evening or night - none the wiser that they have seen a ghost. Some hear strange noises in those woods, including the sounds of a small child. There use to be alot of street racing on Anderson road, several of the people have spotted her. Some of the rumours go as far as saying she is burried somewhere in the forest not far from the cross (but this can not be verified). People who visit the area are often overwhelmed by feeling of anxiety for no reason.

This is a night cache. It is easier to do it at night, if you dare. Go at the posted coordinates. With a flashlight, illuminate the trees on the North side of the road at eyes level. You will see 2 sets of reflectors on trees. Go to to the farthest tree with reflectors. Attached to the tree, you will find a tag for waypoint #2.

At waypoint #2, do like at waypoint #1. But instead of finding a tag, look for other reflectors on trees near by. They will mark your way to the cache.

Good luck, and don't forget to document your scary encounters :)
