fingers crossed: Unfrotunately, the road construction has removed the parking for this cache, so it has to be archived. Thanks for the experience!

Geocache Description:

** DO NOT PARK ON THE HIGHWAY**
A small container hidden near Highway 400.

Please do not park on Highway 400, it is not necessary and is dangerous!
The only parking available is at N44°25.497 W079°39.183

To access this cache you cannot reach it from North 400, nor can you reach it from South 11 to 400. The only way to get to this cache is to come from the 400 extension, so please turn around at Forbes Road if you're heading North. There is a parking area off to the right after the extension turn.
Please take care merging back onto the highway.

This is the first cache in part of a series I've been mulling over for a while. There are many highways here with a lot of history.
Highway 400 was opened in the 1950's and replaced the route that many had taken prior to this up either highway 11, or highway 27.
The 400 extension is planned to terminate in Sudbury and construction is scheduled to end in 2018.
Just north of the cache location is where the highway used to be called Highway 400A, until 1997 when it was absorbed by highway 11.


When you locate the cache, it will be a different perspective to hearing the traffic...

Congrats to strega13 (Team Hebi) on the FTF for this cache.
