Geocache Description:

The Faded Signs Series is a series of mostly easy caches along Highway #4 in Pictou County with a couple of harder ones to find for variety. Cache sizes range from nano to regular. The latest caches may test features of your GPSr that you may or may not know how to use.

Along Highway 4 in Pictou County, there are a number of tourist advertising signs that have faded from use with the construction of Highway 104 through Pictou County.

Normally, only the locals travel along Highway #4 while the tourists and other travelers normally take the four lane express Highway #104 to get through the region on their way to their holiday or business destination.

The cache container is a small camoufladged lock'n'lock.
All the caches in this series are placed in the proximity of old faded Tourist Signs which may or may not reference past attractions or current old attractions.  Until recently when the sign was replaced this was a Faded Sign.  It was replaced and a nice flower garden planted under the sign.

Although most of the caches in the series are Winter Friendly, this one is not when covered in snow. There is fairly easy terrain to get to but with same bushwacking invoved depending on the direction you take.  The containers in the series may vary in size but fitting with the hiding spot.


Congratulations to "Finn" for the FTF
