All of the caches in this series have been placed along a portion of the Gordon Glaves Memorial Trail. This is a paved trail which will take you from Colborne Street in Brantford all the way to Port Dover, Ontario. There is room for two or three cars to park each time the trail crosses the roadway. If you begin your trek from Colborne Street, you may park in the D'Aubigny Creek Soccer lot across the road from the trailhead. Trail is wheelchair friendly, cache location is not.
My dad, GreenThumb9 and I are big Star Wars fans, and when this part of the trail became available we decided to expand our already existing "Star Wars Series" caches.
This cache is part of the "Star Wars Characters" series of caches. There are 15 caches in this series. Each cache is a stand-alone cache.
DARTH VADER
Born Anakin Skywalker, Vader is a central character in the Star Wars saga. As Anakin Skywalker, he secretly married Padame Amidala and together they had twins, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.
Darth Vader's name is synonomous with powerful evil, and at one part in the saga, he attempts to turn Luke to the Dark Side so the "offspring of Anakin Skywalker" will not become a Jedi. During a lightsaber duel with Luke Vader cuts off Luke's right hand and reveals that he is Luke's father. He tries to convince Luke to convert to the Dark Side because together they could overthrow Palpatine and "rule the galaxy as father and son."
Later on Vader is ultimately redeemed in the Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, when he sacrifices himself to save his son, Luke.
