Geocache Description:

Please note that the coordinates of this cache has changed to 47 31.472 053 16.858. This cache is an Old Port beef pail in a green plastic bag. It is hidden at the base of an evergreen tree. Not many in this area. You will have to walk up a slope for this one. Best approach for this one is to park at the pit enterance off Springfield Rd. but if you intend to get all three in the area go to the end of Taylors Rd. and take the short hike.

This is one of seven in a series of caches called “The Old Port Series” They are numbered one to seven. The seventh cache being a mystery cache and the coordinates listed on that cache are not accurate. The actual coordinates are found in part on each of the first six caches in the series. You will have to look within each cache where a single clues is given in several locations. Each cache contains a first to find card and also contains a Geocache Card with a code number and letter which when put in a certain combination will spell the surname of the original settlers or the property on which the mystery cache is located. You must figure out the combination, it is easy!!!! There is a first to find prize in #7 and a special prize will be awarded to anyone who is first to find all seven . Just leave you details on the back of the first to find card(s) along with the name of the original settlers and leave it/them in #7. Not to worry if you don’t find all seven as a card will be drawn from the #7 Cache once all the first to find cards have been deposited. That person will receive the special mystery prize by mail.

All the caches are Old Port 2kg beef pails containing Geocache note, Log book, pencil and sharpener, FTF card, Geocache Card, and an assortment of exchangeable items. They are all in the South River area.
Note: Cache # 7 is a well hidden cache..

Each of the 7 caches in this series has a connection to my ancestors. This area was once property of my wifes ancestors and like others in the area was sold during the construction of the TCH.

Contents: Golf tee, kinder surprise, Avalon Ford key holder, orange guy, SOS whistle, key chain light, plastic dinosaur, set of dice, Log book, pencil , sharpener, FTF card, Geocache Card. Please leave sharpener in the cache.
