Des Loups Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

bluelamb03: Finally got the weather I wanted and made the trip up to the Mahingan lookout, an absolutely lovely day with lots of people on the trail. I was here specifically to retrieved my "Bluelamb's Summer Vacation" cache, http://coord.info/GCWA02, which was ten meters on the wrong side of this trail and was axed for that, but when I got here I found that all the previous logs were quite correct. Someone had found this cache and instead of placing it back down the slope, hiding cachers from casual view on this busy trail, it was sitting under a pine tree at the top of the slope, plain as day! No wonder 3-Bearss couldn't find it when he went out with a replacement ammo can, it was nowhere near the GZ!

Disappointing....

Such blatant disregard for basic caching etiquette and the fact that it would be my only cache remaining on this difficult trail convinced me that it's time was done. It's been a good ten years, time to go.....

Geocache Description:


The cache is no longer cylindrical in shape/camo in colour. It is a clear lock 'n lock with a cammo cover hidden between a rock and a small tree slightly southeast of a scenic rocky clearing in Gatineau Park. Items in the cache at the time of placement included:
  • whoopee cushion
  • a calculator
  • a mini first aid kid
  • neato kids swimming goggles
  • glow stick jewelry
  • miniature troll
  • log book and other trinkets
One can get relatively close using a specific trail which does include some decent elevation changes. I hid it with my seven year old son so it is feasible for families. Great scenic spot for a picnic...but no feeding the bears please!! ;) hehehe

Happy caching......cliffy :):)

UPDATE 22 August 2008: This cache has been adopted by Bluelamb03. Please contact me through my profile page if there are any problems.
