Quick park and grab. Park at the NS Power Office. Cache is just a short walk down the road. If you continue on the road you will come to the Power Dam, a favourite swimming hole for the local kids.
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 the first cache in the "Welcome to the Boonies Series" from the eastern end. The cache contains a map of the "Tin Mine Road" for those of you who are not familiar with the area. This cache will not be hard to locate. Wile Coyote was forever trying to catch the “Road Runner” but despite his many schemes was never successful. This cache is in a hand made container – directions supplied by Acme, of course. The cache contains a log book, writing stick and the usual trade items. FTF Certificate included
