Geocache Description:

A Family-Friendly multi-cache in Hog's Back Park



This cache is a sister to the first "Rehab" cache in Vincent Massey Park, Vinnie's Rehab.

Take your kids for a walk around the park and have a look at the new facilities that have been added to the park. Kids will be able to count the necessary items, and then figure out where the cache is hidden. At placement, the cache was stuffed with toys for the kids. The final location is easily accessible and only requires very modest bushwhacking for the last 5 metres or so.

Parking is free at Hog's Back Park and if you are willing to walk, it is a short walk to Vincent Massey Park, found on the north side of Heron Road.

The following is taken from the NCC web site. Hog’s Back Park is one of many parks in Canada’s Capital, which are a major element of the Capital experience and the centrepiece of the green space network. Hog’s Back Park is a popular stopping point for both tourists and locals. Hog’s Back Park overlooks the spectacular Hog’s Back Falls on the Rideau River. It is an urban nature park, surrounded by history. Rehabilitation of the area began in spring 2010 and included significant work to the service pavilion and buildings, as well as improvements to parking capacity, the recreational pathway network and traffic flow around the buildings.

Go to the following eight locations (waypoints are included with the cache listing), and find the answer to each question. Use those answers to get the coordinate of the cache container. You can visit the locations in any order.
