Geocache Description:

Located in the "Puslinch Tract West", a 28 ha tract of provincially owned crown land.


According to government information: "Much of this parcel is classified as a Class 1 wetland. A stream runs through the wetland, flowing out of Puslinch. This property is not signed, however, there are several small walking trails throughout the pine plantation and around the wetland. The property is suitable for hiking and bird watching."

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THIS CACHE FROM HIGHWAY 401.

Parking (likely only enough for 1 vehicle) and the trailhead is located off Wellington Road 32, at N43 25.388 W80 16.250. From here, follow the trail to this location N43 25.540 W80 16.172. Here you will find the trail splits. The cache can be reached from either way, as the trail makes a loop. Until you are within 50m of the cache keep to the trail. The last 50m will require only light bushwacking.

THE CATCH: The terrain rating for the cache will vary seasonally, depending on how much water (and bugs) you will need to contend with. If conditions are good, likely a 1.5 terrain rating would be enough, but if they are bad, the rating could be up to 3.5. Unless it is very cold or very dry parts of the trail will likely be VERY wet, so come appropriately prepared! The cache was placed in January with temperatures around -15C, so there were no bugs and I managed to get in and out without getting wet feet. I suspect that the environment will be very different in June.

NOTE: It is apparent that this area is used for hunting, so extra care should be taken during hunting season.
