This cache is a small camouflaged loc'n'loc
container.
There is a log book, a few trinkets and a FTF prize for some lucky
geocacher! There is not a lot of room in this cache container so
please bring your own writing instrument.
This is the third annual cache to be placed by
the Cow Tippin' idiots for the COG Spring Fling
IV!
LOTS OF HIDEY
HOLES
This was once the perfect beach. When the
water levels of Georgian Bay were higher, you could swim all day
here where it is nice and shallow for little ones and then gets
deeper at just the right spot for older swimmers. There was
sand all the way out and when you stepped out of the water,
you stepped directly on to limestone shelving, so there wasn't the
usual problem of tracking sand into the car or your shoes at the
end of the day.
This area was the a source of limestone for
construction purposes as early of 1639, with the French Jesuits and
their workers using this stone to build portions of their mission
"around the corner" and up the Wye River. Although a 5 minute
drive for us to the reconstructed mission today, the French workers
would have brought the required limestone to Ste. Marie by a boat
which was built at the mission for this purpose and also to
transport their workers to their farm fields which would have
been on the east side of the Wye River. Without the presence
of roads, horses, cars or trains, the lakes, rivers and Georgian
Bay provided the First People of the province with a most efficient
form of travel and transportation.
Strongly suggest using a stick to poke around your search areas on
this one for your own safety. See attributes. Many snakes reside
here and the rattley ones have been seen here before.
