This series of caches are on The Buckeye Trail that was the towpath of the Miami-Wabash-Erie Canal. It's a nice scenic trail between the river and canal. In the winter months, the gate at the east end of the park is closed, so it will be a long hike or you can bike it. PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE AROUND THE GATE! I received permission from the ODNR to place the caches here and I don't want to lose that permission. Park & trail hours are dawn to 11 PM.
CONGRATS TO 'T-Hunter' FOR BEING FTF!!!
The Miami and Erie Canal was built between 1825 and 1848 and extended from Toledo to Cincinnati. Boats shipped cargo along the canal, including bulk agricultural products such as shell corn, wheat, wool, pork, and lard. As an intersection point for Lake Erie and both the Wabash and Erie Canal, which ran west to Indiana, and the Miami and Erie Canal, Toledo played an important role in this type of commerce. The growth of the canal system resulted in a population boom in Toledo and other cities along the canal routes, cheaper shipping costs for farmers, and less expensive goods for consumers.
