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 ~20 km Osgoode Multi-use Pathway is in
the City of Ottawa and runs from the hamlet of Osgoode in the south
to Leitrim Road (near the International Airport) in the north. The
distance is approximate because the abandoned railbed carries on
further south all the way to Prescott. This 20 km section of trail
was officially opened in 2010. It was quickly filled with caches
mostly (entirely?) placed by geomo&clo, making the crazed
Ottawa geocaching scene that much more crazy.
Here is a map showing the southern portion
of the Osgoode Muti-use Pathway geocache power trail.
