GreenNinjas420: I've moved away from the area. Despite the cache still being there when I drive 3 hours to check on them. Too many false DNF, so archiving them all.

Geocache Description:

The Bruce Peninsula Portage is known for it's breathtaking sunsets... so bring your camera along!

Written on the heritage plaque at this location: The Bruce Peninsula presents a formidable barrier to water transportation between Lake Huron and southern Georgian Bay. To avoid a difficult detour to the north, aboriginal peoples developed a portage route across the base of the peninsula. It's eastern section ran along high ground between here and Colpoy's Bay at Wiarton. West of here were two routes. One ran south across Boat Lake and along the Rankin and Sauble Rivers to lake Huron. The other crossed from Boat Lake to Spry Lake, then overland to the Lake Huron Shore opposite the Fishing Islands. For centuries the Bruce Peninsula portage was an important link in the Great Lakes transportation network.
