...But now, to their dismay, they saw Marten launch the Master's canoe and Noogumee entering it with Glooscap's household goods. Glooscap was leaving them!
"I must dwell now in a separate place," said the Great Chief...
Then, waving farewell to his sorrowful Wabanaki, Glooscap set off for the mainland. Rounding the southern tip of what is now Nova Scotia, the Great Chief paddled up the Bay of Fundy. In the distance, where the Bay narrows and the great tides of Fundy rush into Minas Basin, Glooscap saw a long purple headland, like a moose swimming, with clouds for antlers, and headed his canoe in that direction. Landing, he gazed at the slope of red sandstone, with its groves of green trees at the summit, and admired the amethysts encircling its base like a string of purple beads.
"Here I shall build my lodge," said Glooscap, and he named the place Blomidon...
This cache will take you to a very picturesque picnic table on the Blomidon trail. Upon seeing the view, you may wish you could build your lodge atop Blomidon as well.
The terrain rating is based on the hike from the parking coordinates provided (trail head). When the park is open, you can drive up the paved road & park within 30m of the cache.
If you do choose to hike up to the cache, you can take the Borden Brook Trail on your left, which passes by a series of small waterfalls and eventually will come to a large open field that you can cut across to get to the cache. The Jodrey Trail, on your right, winds its way up the face of Blomidon, with stairs providing assistance in rough sections, and will be the more direct route to the cache site. The trails are well maked with red and yellow flashes.
