Uisge Ban Tree Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cache-tech: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some 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:

This cache hunt involves a fairly easy jaunt along a nicely-maintained trail leading to one of Nova Scotia's most scenic waterfalls, Uisge Ban Falls.

The parking area for the trail and picnic park is situated along a minor road near Baddeck Forks. Once you start walking and come to a major split in the trail, take the falls trail to reach the cache hiding place. Be warned that this area is thick with trees, so reception WILL be spotty! We did, however, get pretty strong reception once in the approximate area of the hide. Once you’ve completed the find, we highly recommend continuing on for a short distance to reach the Uisge Ban Falls. We were hoping to place the cache closer to the falls, but the reception in the area was atrocious!!! We’ve included a number of hints below to aid you if you need them. Please read them one at a time as needed. Hope you enjoy your visit to this lovely area on beautiful Cape Breton Island! By the way, “Uisge Ban” is Gaelic for “white water.”

Contents of the cache as of the time of placement were:

Mini Frisbee
Pack of crayons
Fuzzy white mouse cat toy
Mini ruler
Magnetic checkers game
Toy Hot Wheel motorcycle
Baltimore County, Maryland pin
Lens cloth (great for GPS screens!)
