Geocache Description:

Located just off a very popular dog walking trail.

It's time to discover the seaside villages on route to Peggy's Cove.
--The peninsular fishing village of Upper Prospect lies within a larger area known as Prospect. It is located at the end of a 12 km road that turns off Route 333. The Mi'kmaq knew the Prospect area as Nospadakun, meaning "a herb mixed with tobacco" and Coolen's Hill was once their summer camp. It is also believed that Norsemen had visited
the shores of Prospect Bay. In 1744 the area became Prospec and was renamed Prospect by British settlers in 1754. Some families arriving in the Prospect area were descended from the Foreign Protestants of Lunenburg and mostwere of Irish origin. What started as a small fishing village had blossomed into a community with acannery, bowling alley, taverns, and a
bowery for special functions, church suppers and dances. However, with the collapse of the fishery in the late 1800s
after a period of decline, people started moving away from Prospect into Halifax or Boston.

Hidden to avoid and ice, and its too windy here for any snow to gather but its on the ground.
