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 35 km Georgian Trail (35) is one of the
greats of Ontario. A wonderful surface makes it an easy ride for
people of all ages and abilities. While riding it you will be
travelling along the south shore of Georgian Bay between
Collingwood’s Harbour and Meaford with the Niagara Escarpment
above you in many spots. The former rail line also passes through
the picturesque village of Thornbury.
We’ve done some caching in the
Collingwood, Blue Mountains and Thornbury areas and somewhat
surprisingly, the Georgian Trail is pretty much cache free, for
now.
