HISTORY
The BCRT is aproximately 80 kilometers in length, so says the internet! The east leg is from Port Elgin, through Paisley, jogs over to Walkerton and down to the Bruce Huron county line and the west leg is from Port Elgin to Bruce Power. In the past, the trains would run through Port Elgin and over to Ontario Hydro (currently Bruce Power). Now the BCRT is used by walkers, horses, for snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snow shoeing and the trail is well used by ATVs.
PARKING
You can park your car safely on the trail access point. The orange gates should be directly in front of you, but do not pull up so close as to block the farmers access gate to his field on the west side, and do not park on the curved section running east of the rail trail...he drives large heavy equipment! This is the farmer's request.
This is not a park and grab cache, so carry along your bug spray and some water.
DIRECTIONS
To find the cache box with the log book and swag, you must first find the cache box with the clues. Once you have this in hand, please follow the enclosed directions. You are required to play a game of "match up the sticks" to obtain further information, to ensure that you are walking down the trail in the correct direction!
Common sense and patience will give you what you need.
ATTRACTION: a good old fashioned longer walk...a visual brain workout...other caches on this trail
PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PEN...the pencils have been known to grow legs and escape!
This is Bruce County so don't be surprised if you see poison ivy here and there along this section of the trail. Wear long pants and closed toed shoes. At the time of placing this cache, there wasn't any in these areas.
PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF WHERE YOU ARE RETRIEVING THE CACHE CONTAINERS FROM, AND RETURN THEM TO THEIR EXACT LOCATIONS TO PREVENT MIGRATION...IN THIS CASE BOTH ARE OFF THE GROUND AND SUSPENDED IN THEIR CAGES.
