Geocache Description:

Big Meadow Brook Run is located just off Route 203, and is part of the Welcome to the Boonies Series.

Big Meadow Brook Run is located near the banks of the Big Meadow Brook, on a section of the brook which is a burbling spring fed run. There is much wildlife in the area - and the birding here is superb - look for Kinglets, Pheobes and Warblers who live in this section of woods.

The Welcome to the Boonies series was placed as a cooperative effort of 8 geocachers in South Western Nova Scotia: Dryfly and Catch, flyfishNS, Treasurehumper, H and Y Frosty, Zipalong and Tadpole. The caches were placed as part of the 2007 winter placement challenge, February 2, 2007. The Welcome to the Boonies route offers a variety of caches, and is designed for your enjoyment while driving through this remote part of our Province. The series takes you along Route 203 and along several side roads, and skirts the Tobeatic Wilderness area, with the permission of the Department of Natural Resources, who kindly assisted us in suggesting cache placement choices. The birding is excellent along the route, as are the opportunities for hiking, biking, canoeing or kayaking . Route 203 still has good fishing and hunting opportunities along its length, so please be aware that you need to wear hunter orange in the fall (September to December), and be careful with matches and flame sources in the summer. This route is about an hour drive straight through from Carleton to Shelburne, and Geocachers will obviously take much longer. A word of caution - Route 203 does not have food or fuel stops once you go past Kemptville heading East or past Shelburne going West. As well, your cell phone will not work in some sections, particularly from East Kemptville to Middle Ohio, so it is best to be prepared. Welcome to the Boonies is a great way to explore the edges of the accessible wilderness of South Western Nova Scotia - Happy Geocaching!

This cache is in a canister which has been located in a winter friendly location with a bit of a twist. The cache contained at placement a log and pencil, trout flies and various other wilderness and family friendly related swag.
