Short hike from the Ferry dock on Fogo Island.
In 1969 I worked on the Hydrographic Survey Ship (CSS ACADIA) based
out of Carmonville Newfoundland.
I was a hydrographer surveying Hamilton Sound between Fogo Island
and the mainland. After 37 years, I have returned to visit the
area. I visited Fogo & Change Island and found all the caches
on the 2 islands.
Before leaving, I wanted to place a cache on Fogo.
Time was running out and I had to hustle to get a cache hidden
before leaving the island.
Cache is approx 200 metres from the Ferry dock at Snug Harbour
terminal. It is at the top of the rock ridge.
Cache is a small container with log book, pen and Ontario First
Geocache Coin # 400.

This was my first geocache find! Found it while waiting for the ferry back to the mainland. Had been on Fogo Island for two days doing a photo shoot with photographer and models for Central DMO (non-profit group responsible for promoting tourism in central Newfoundland). If you're ever on the island, be sure to try Growlers Ice Cream and Nicole's Cafe. Great places to eat! [This entry was edited by CentralDMO on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 4:43:18 AM.]
