With
Cashekickers kind permission to 'add on', this is the fourth
cache in a series to introduce you to key points along the "OLD
COACH ROAD" that runs across the Chebucto Peninsula between
Harrietfield to Glen Margaret on the St. Margaret’s Bay.
We were introduced to the Old Coach Road by Cashekicker and
the
Old LZ, and since we have been exploring this area fascinated
by the different terrain, foliage and the abundance of
wildlife.
For this one you can approach from several directions.
The best, if conditions are dry is to approach following the
points given to the LZ. (WPs added here to help you along) Except
at Track Point #4 continue strait along the Old Coach Road. Close
to the cache you'll see another trailhead going north. This is the
Green Head Road from Lakeside. We were introduced to this by
Fishing Fanatic and the Nova
Scotia Fish Species.
The other, slightly more challenging route is to come down the
Green Head Road, parking near the black and yellow gate at the
bottom of the ramp on the 103 Exit 3 eastbound. Please be careful
and watch the traffic on the highway, there is a good deal of room
to park but make sure you have enough time to get up to speed
pulling out. Once you enter the trail there are a few caches you’ll
pass, including an excellent multi cache, Nova Scotia Fish Species
by fishing fanatic. As you follow the trail you’ll cross onto a
gravel road and part of the Otter Lake Landfill site, no worries no
smell, just stay to the left and beware of any equipment moving
along the road. Next you’ll see another trailhead to the left that
leads to the Old LZ Stay right and continue to a sharp left turn on
the gravel and a trailhead straight ahead (note: gravel ends just
to the left) and continue strait. You’ll get there eventually.
Cache is a Camoed Pail with the normal swag items and a FTF
Certificate, tried to get some Timmy Coupons for coffee but they
were sold out, so there’s something to help cafinate the FTF’s body
once out of the woods.
Thanks again to Cashekicker for letting me add to the series and
and Fishing fanatic for introducing us to these trails, Happy
Chaching everyone.
