It's the Pits Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Hard Oiler: Time to archive and replace with a winter friendly series. The cache has had 5 years out in the pits. Congrats to all who found it - it was a tough one especially in winter. The new series will be tough in summer but easier in winter.

Geocache Description:

This is a multi-stage cache hidden in a former gravel pit that is being rehabilitated as a wetlands, forest and tall grass prairie habitat. Do not attempt this cache unless you are prepared for a challenge - four well-hidden micros lead to an ammo box at the final destination.

The coordinates given are for the first micro, a plastic tag in a tree, 10 metres from the parking lot. The tag gives the coordinates for the next micro - a white 35mm film container. There are 2 more micros to find before you get to the final cache.

This is a popular spot for walking dogs (including ours). You'll also find a variety of other wild life and several areas that have been replanted with native flowers and grasses. In the spring there is a spectacular display of both red and white Trilliums, Ontario's official flower.

The micros are all within 10 metres of a trail (though overgrown in summer) so respect the environment, stick close to the trails, do not disturb the native plantings and Cache In - Trash Out! The final cache requires an excursion into the woods so watch your step.
