Geocache Description:

The Faded Signs Series is a series of mostly easy caches along Highway #4 in Pictou County with a couple of harder ones to find for variety. Cache sizes range from nano to regular

Along Highway 4 in Pictou County, there are a number of tourist advertising signs that have faded from use with the construction of Highway 104 through Pictou County.

Normally, only the locals travel along Highway #4 while the tourists and other travelers normally take the four lane express Highway #104 to get through the region on their way to their holiday or business destination.

CONGRATULATIONS TO "pnutbeagle and spikybeagle" FOR THE FTF

All the caches in this series are placed in the proximity of old faded Tourist Signs which may or may not reference past attractions or current old attractions.

All the caches in the series are Winter Friendly and fairly easy terrain to get to with no or minimum bushwhacking. The cache containers may vary in size but fitting with the hiding spot.

The cache container is a green match-box container. This one is not hidden near the fading "Buy Apples" sign but some bushwhacking is involved

August 27:
The cache container was replaced on August 10, 2013.
It is no longer the matchstick container but a cylinder of the same diameter but slightly longer in length - it is hidden well and difficult to find.

The plastic bag with the crappy paper in it is NOT the cache. It looks like it is a "throwdown" bag that someone used to log the cache" when they did not find it.
