Geocache Description:

Cache is a camo-taped container. Placed on the Escarpment, off the main trail of "The Path".

For six years I walked up and down this trail to get to school during my Elementary years. Not to mention the countless times I climbed up it only to slide down on my crazy carpet. Alot has changed here since the mid 1980's... There is alot of over-growth now, the main trail used to be a good five or six feet wide. And strangly, it seems that the wooded areas on either side of the trail have thinned out, I recall them being alot thicker with bush and trees. Maybe it's just because I'm grown up now, who knows?

The cache shouldn't be too hard to locate once in the right area. After a few minutes I was able to get a reading that offered an accuracy of 9 meters on my Garmin Etrex. I left the cache site numerous times and returned to verify my readings just to be on the safe side as the trees might mess with your signal. The cache is packed with little games, a pen light, glow-in-the-dark stars, generic key rings, and a few other goodies.

Parking is available on both sides of the trail (it runs north / south). The South side is a dead-end (Marmac Dr) and the North side is a traffic circle (Clearview Cres).

Note: The path may be a little slick at times if there is any moisture on the ground. Please use caution when ascending / descending on the main trail.


Additional notes about the Cache:

  • Cache had a pencil in it when it was placed.
  • Please re-hide the Cache better then you found it.
  • Exercise caution when in the area.

Thanks & enjoy!
