Geocache Description:

A Quick Visit to Laura Secord's Crossing Suspension Bridge

To celebrate the bi-centennial of Laura Secord's walk from Queenston to Decew House in Thorold to warn of an impending American attack, a new 32km trail has been designated along her route from Queenston to Thorold. The trail officially opened on June 22 during a 32km hike from Queenston to Decew re-enacting Laura Secord's historic trek. At the point where she would have crossed 12mile creek, a new suspension bridge, called Laura's Crossing, has been built to allow the re-enactors a much easier crossing of the Twelve than Laura would have had.

At the first stage count the number of "big screws" going into the ground. To find the final cache, add the number of "big screws" to the decimal minutes of the following latitude and longitude

N43 06.881 W079 16.221

The final cache container is a small lock and lock container which has been recycled from a previous JabbaTHutt cache. I know that Jabba would have been all over this hike, well ok, not the full 32K but probably the last portion of it.

The Laura Secord Trail has now received TransCanada Trail accreditation and has been added to that ever growing trail system

Enjoy the cache...
