Geocache Description:

Just moved into the neighbourhood and decided to hide a cache of my own.

Cache is located in the Moira River. The height of the water changes depending on the time of the year you go. Cache was hidden October 1st, 2011 and water was a bit below knee height on me when I waded over. I'm about 6 feet tall.

Cache itself is quite easy to locate. Contains a logsheet and some small items for trade. BYOP.

Parking can be found on Hoskin road. Coordinates in additional waypoints.
Have fun!

Location History:
The Moira River begins at an unnamed lake just south of the settlement of Gunter in the more southerly Tudor portion of the township of Tudor and Cashel at an elevation of 355 metres (1,165 ft). It flows south and then southeast into the township of Madoc, passes through Wolf Lake at an elevation of 276 metres (906 ft), is crossed by Highway 62, and takes in the right tributary Jordan River at the settlement of Bannockburn, before heading south. The river loops east then back west under the highway at Keller Bridge and continues south to the west of Eldorado. The river takes a sharp turn west, before taking in the right tributary Gawley Creek and heading south again at Malone in the municipality of Marmora and Lake. It passes through Deloro Lake and over the Deloro Dam at Deloro at an elevation of 200 metres (656 ft), and is crossed by Highway 7. The Moira then heads east, enters the township of Stirling-Rawdon, and empties into Bend Bay on Moira Lake at an elevation of 154 metres (505 ft), south of the community of Madoc, where it takes in the left tributary Madoc Creek. The river continues east from the lake, enters the municipality of Tweed and takes in the left tributaries Black River and Skootamatta River. It then heads south through the village of Tweed, Ontario into Stoco Lake at an elevation of 138 metres (453 ft), where it takes in the left tributaries Sulphide Creek and Clare River. The river leaves the lake via two channels, an eastern channel Moira River and the named West Channel, which enclose Sugar Island. It heads southwest, and is paralleled by Highway 37 from Tweed all the way to Belleville. The river flows through the northwest corner of the township of Tyendinaga and enters the city of Belleville, continuing southeast. It takes in the right tributaries Chrysal Creek and Palliser Creek, flows over the Belleville Yardmen Dam and the McLeod Dam and reaches its mouth at the Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario.

The map shown is somehow incorrect. The coordinates for parking show that you park in the water. The coordinates for the cache and parking have been rechecked and they are correct. Somehow Google made a boo boo. Have fun!
