Geocache Description:

Condors nest on cliffs and today you can see the cliffs at the end of Condor Drive, set in an old rock quarry near McCarthy Road. Unfortunately we have not seen any live condors recently.

For this easy cache, go to the coordinates and enjoy of the view of the quarry. It was used until the late 60's or early 70's for crushed limestone rock that probably lies under many Ottawa Streets today. In the early 90's the exclusive development in front of you was built for "empty nesters." You do not need to enter onto their almost gated property.

As you admire the cliffs, on one side of the Condor intersection is a bungalow built in the late 70's. Note its 3 digit house number. Add each of the digits of this number to the respective last 3 digits of N45 21.164 and W075 40.158 . This will give you the nearby location of the cliff where the cache is tucked away, at about waist height. #146 bus service is nearby.
