The Shiny House Traditional Cache
onecrazycanadian: Hi,
The low health score on this cache has remained below 60 since our last contact. I see no sign of any maintenance being done to correct this and I have had no response from the owner since my last contact. Due to the lack of response I have no idea if any corrective action has been taken. Consequently I am archiving the cache at this time. Under directions from HQ, if the cache was archived for maintenance issues, it will not be unarchived. If you wish to replace it you will have to do so with a new listing.
Thanks

This cache can be found within the bounds of Cannington Manor Provincial Historic Park. . Drive in and park in the lot; if the gate is closed, the hike down the lane is about 300 meters.
This particular location is at the Humphrys-Hewlett House; the rest of the park is 2 miles (3k) northeast. The Park is open 1000-1700 hrs, six days a week (closed Tuesday), from May long weekend to Labour Day.
The cache contains only a log sheet. The container is about the size of a adult thumb.

Cannington Manor Provincial Historic Park is a heritage site in Southeastern Saskatchewan. Founded On Victorian social values in 1882, Cannington Manor was a village complete with fox hunting, glee clubs, dramatics societies, and cricket teams...all supported by an agricultural economy. This was the dream of the mostly English settlers who came southeast of the Moose Mountains over 120 years ago.
The community lasted less than two decades, but the short life was a merry one. The merrymaking was led by large group of young bachelors whose whiskey camps, racehorses and rugby team were legendary.
Today, the village has been partially rebuilt on its original location. As well, the original home built by James Humphrys in 1888 is part of the park. This cache takes you right onto the grounds of his home. Here he operated a cheese factory and pork packing plant for several years. On site, you will be able to read all about the history of the home and farm. Don't hesitate to visit the village as well, this cache takes you only 2 miles away from there!
