Smudge Needs
a Walk
This cache is dedicated to all of our four legged caching
companions out there, but specifically Smudge. Smudge was a dog
that didn't like the short grab and go caches.
The cache is all for the dogs. The final contains dog
friendly trading items (chew toys, leashes, tennis balls).
This is a 3-stage Multi through the Dundas Valley Conservation
area. You will follow the Headwater trail loop to its final
destination. This cache will require a 5 - 6 KM return hike
depending on the route you take.
Parking is available at N 43° 13.590 W 080° 00.574.
The Hamilton Region Conservation Authority requests visitors to the
Dundas Valley to pay $3 per person walking or $6 per
vehicle. The fee station is located at the posted
coordinates. The Dundas Valley Conservation Area is open
daily 8 a.m. to sunset, unless otherwise posted. This
area is closed to visitors at sunset, so don't attempt the cache
within two hours of dark.
I've stocked the final cache with small dog toys. So, if you
brought your dog, please take something for them. This cache is for
them. No need to trade, but if possible help me keep it going
letting me know when it's empty. It's in a regular camo'd container
with a log book, pen, and doggie tradables. Please return
cache to its properly location and practice CITO wherever possible.

A few things to remember:
- Your dog(s) should be on a leash throughout the Dundas Valley
Conservation area.
- Please stay on the trail. It will take
you to the final location no matter which direction you take.
- It's a long walk. Make sure you take plenty of
water for you and your dog(s).
- This can be a very busy area. Please rehide all stages
carefully especially the final. It's big enough to be seen if not
covered up properly.
- Don't attempt this cache if you don't have a few hours to find
it. It's meant to be a nice long walk through the woods.
Congratulations to Nozzletime and Smudge for the FTF. Quite
fitting. Thanks for taking the time to find it.
