WEIR BROOK FALLS Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cache-tech: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have had no contact with the cache owner since my last note and there has been no notes posted to the cache page in that time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future. If you do not plan on replacing/repairing your cache, please CITO any remains returning the site to the original state before you placed your cache.

Thanks for your understanding,
Cache-tech

Geocache Description:

A large cache hidden at Weir Brook Falls in Hants County.

Formerly George the Gnome's Treasure, this cache has been migrated to a singe stage cache as both waypoints had gone missing when I went in to update the cache, so I am re-releasing it.

DIRECTIONS: from Windsor, downtown, take HWY101 , south, 10.5km to exit 4. Exit east onto HWY1 Continue along this road approximately 1 .5km, to an unsigned road on your right just before a big left-hand turn. (WPT: 44 N 57.750 063 W 58.931)Follow this road to a small pull off just beyond the quarry.

Trail Description: walk along the tree line next to a large field, heading down a well-used trail to the main falls. A rope is in place to help you descend into the deep canyon next to the lower main falls. You will need to cross the stream and climb up the steep trail next to the small cave, turning left at the top and descending again to the base of the upper falls.

The main falls site at Weir Brook shows the remains of human interaction, with a concrete wall and iron spillway helping to form the large pool underneath the lower falls. This is a popular swimming hole in the summer, with outdoor enthusiasts jumping off the top of the falls into the pool below. Even in mid-August,
the pool here remains ice cold.
