Geocache Description:

Cache is located at 1.6 km along the Dobson Trail from the main parking lot on Pine Glen Rd.

From Moncton, proceed across the causeway heading towards Riverview. Go striaght until you reach a stopsign at Findlay Blvd, and Whitepine Rd. Turn left onto Whitepine Rd. At the stopsign, turn right onto Pine Glen Rd. The parking lot for the Dobson Trail is aprox 2km, at N46 02.466 W64 47.182. The first part of this trail is usually passable with average footwear in all seasons because of high traffic. After crossing the power lines, the trail narrows and you can encounter deep snow in the winter and the trail narrows. After a snowfall, snowshoes are recommended but as people travel the path, it gets easier. Follow the trail to approx 1.6km. Just before 1.6 km, you will come to a fork in the path. One leg goes straight and the other goes right towards the water. Follow the water path to the right. Walk for approx 1-2 minutes. On the left, look for some faded orange markers. Follow this sidetrail until you see a bench on the left. (may be hidden if we get alot of snow) The cache is off to the right of the trail, across from the bench. Look real hard for an olive green ammo can.

This cache started with the following items:

  • Kinder Surprise chocolate treat
  • microwave popcorn
  • NB Wildlife Federation pin
  • small tape measure
  • mouse trap
  • MS Bookshelf 94 CD
  • Atari 2600 cartridge
  • unscratched lottery ticket
  • Kleenex
This cache also started with the M&M bug taken from Mapleton Rd and a disposable camera. Please, take a pic, but DONT TAKE THE CAMERA! Check out my homepage for a membership form for the Dobson Hiking Trail. Membership is $2.00 per year. Thats a small fee to pay for the couple hours of entertainment it provided. The Dobson Hiking Trail is managed by volunteers and evey penny counts.

Good luck...
