The cache is on private property, but we own the place,
so that's OK. It's not far from the road. It's a smaller ammo box
with a few goodies:
- A Macanudo cigar cutter
- LCBO guide to classic beers booklet
- Retractable telephone cord for a laptop
- Home Depot carpenter's pencil
- Extra pens for geocachers who forgot theirs
- Extra ziplock in case of leakage.
- Logbook, pen and transportation schedule
On a nice day, you can expect to see white-tail deer (the local
population approaches 100), wild turkey (another 100 or so), any
number of birds (swallows, heron, snipe) and garter snakes aplenty
(there's a hibernation den within a stone's throw). We'll be back
to add a travel bug later.
Seasonal Note: The ferry to Simcoe Island shuts
down for the Winter. After freeze-up, anyone still wishing to
log this cache will have to cross the ice on their own. There are a
number of permanent residents on the island, so once you get across
the road will be cleared. From the ferry dock to the cache, I
imagine it would be a nice cross-country ski, but I haven't tried
that yet.
Wildlife notes: Upon doing our annual cache maintebance
visit, it's become apparent that a number of deer like the
immediate surroundings as a bed. Watch out for "calling cards".
