This cache has been placed for KACHE 4, an
annual event hosted by the Kingston and Area Geocachers (GC3573R).
This cache should not be found or logged until after 6:00 a.m.,
November 5th 2011.
The theme of this year’s event is
"Things that make Kingston Special" and the city's proximity to the
Cataraqui Trail, one of the longest rail trails in Ontario, is
certainly one of those special things. Beyond the Kingston Area,
Ontario is full of great rail trails and the caches along this
section of the Cataraqui Trail – once the Kingston, Napanee
and Western Railway – recognizes some of them.
The 28 km Oro-Medonte Rail Trail is so named
for the municipality that it is found in. It is found between
Barrie and Orillia along the north shore of Lake Simcoe and at
either end of the trail you can connect inot each cities own
pathway system. The last CN train passed through in September 1996.
I’ve never been but from a location perspective it looks
great.
In terms of caching there are 60-70 caches
on the trail as at the time of publishing this cache. The caches
are spread over several sections.
Here’s a map courtesy of Simcoe County
Trails.
