The cache is located along the John Woods Side Trails. Follow
the BLUE trail blazes at either of the provided reference
points.
When we visited the recently placed caches along the main trail
(thanks GuelphHiker!!), we wondered where the side trails would
lead, and thought about placing a cache during our visit. While
wandering along I came across a couple of natural objects on the
ground, adjacent to each other. They represent another example of
the effect the last ice age had on the area.
Although the side trail will not have a lot of traffic, there is
ample evidence of muggle activity along this section of trail.
Daytime-only visitation is strongly recommended.
Cache is a small to regular lock 'n' lock. It relies on being
re-hidden carefully to avoid detection. Probably not winter
friendly, and at certain times of year the trails may be very muddy
or flooded.
Within this cedar swamp area you will also find a number of very
old maple and oak trees, some certainly well over a century old
based on their size. Keep an eye out for them. On the river, about
100m south of the "Trail Junction" cache is an interesting rock dam
and rapids, and a nice little bench adjacent to the trail. Stop and
enjoy the view during your visit!
On the day we placed the cache, we were walking back along the
main trail across the river from the quarry when the ground
suddenly began to rumble and shake. I've never experienced the
ripple effect of blasting activity as it travels through the
bedrock. Very interesting experience.
NOTE: THERE IS NO ROUTE TO THE CACHE FROM HWY #124. USE THE
PUBLISHED TRAILHEADS AND PARKING!!
