Red Dirt Series Gay Road #1 Traditional Cache

Red Dirt Series
Gay Road

One of Prince Edward Island's most endearing characteristics is the rich, red earth and one of the great highlights of any Island trip is the chance to drive the famous red dirt roads. These rural routes date back to the first days of settlement, and many are now protected under the province's Scenic Heritage Road Program. These magnificent drives wind their way through fantastic canopies of trees - in some spots it's like you're driving through a tunnel in the forest. Although perhaps not the best choices in early spring or after a good rain, the red dirt roads are among the most scenic drives anywhere, so take your foot off the gas and enjoy the view. Just be prepared for the fact that the red dirt will get everywhere, even in dry weather. Its part of the journey!

Gay Road is a little over 3km long and runs between Clay Road and Albion Road. There is a wildlife management area and one of the trailheads for Forest Hill Hiking & Equestrian Trails along its length. All caches are between 4' and 6' from the ground and within a few meters of the road.
We have been informed that the electric cattle fence about 3 ft' behind the cache is now on so please be careful! Our thanks to Olewaif for checking this out with his butt! 8-)

Three things make for a great geocaching experience:
safety, respect and fun.
