Geocache Description:

This is our first multi, so please don't be shy if you have comments!

Bring a pen - no trades possible

The difficultly of the cache is what we have indicated - if it is harder we will consider adjustments. The terrain is really 1* and completely accessible but the hide location doesn't necessarily reflect 1* so we've given it 1.5.

Parking can be found at: N 45 23.540 W 075 41.685

A short distance away (posted coords) you will find a plaque that describes the tiny green space that many drive by on a daily basis. This green space has a particular reference to a local author. It is this plaque that you will need to use to find the final location, which is a short distance away.
