** Cache updated November 2022**
Don't let the "ho-hum" height of this hill fool you! At the peak, you will be afforded a spectacular view stretching all the way from Brock University in St. Catharines to the Robin Hood Flour mill in Port Colborne, to the giant wind turbine array along the Lake Erie shore just south of Buffalo. I found the Fonthill moraine particularly interesting from this angle.
Climb up to the highest point of this two-tier 'mountain'. If you can go higher, go higher. As you climb, you will find a more defined path will start to reveal itself. You will likely pass the crumbling remains of a human structure. Keep going until you get to the very top, where you will find a large, human-built shelter that looks like it is out of Survivor. At the time of this update, there were no fresh signs of anyone actually using this area. You are looking for the easily prominent and well-revealed giant boulder that is just north of the structure. If you switch the map view to satellite imagery, you can even see the massive boulder clearly from orbit. Search this boulder at knee height for a small alcove containing a brightly coloured bison tube with the coordinates for stage 2: a large bucket full of trade items. Please plug the alcove again with a wedge of rock shards to hide the tube.
There is plenty of free parking in the Lowe's lot to the immediate south. You should expect to take 20-45 minutes, depending on your enjoyment of the area. Expect to pick up a tick or two in the summer months, so dress appropriately. You can minimize your trek through long grass by utilizing a coyote/deer trail that runs up the hill. Find it in the very north-western corner of the pavement that makes up Lowes' property (trailhead is marked in the waypoints).
Please maintain the integrity of large inner-city caches by bringing trade items and keeping the bucket full of a range of contents that interest all ages.
