Geocache Description:

The Kings Power Trail was created because there were no caches on the King Vaughan Line. As we drive it almost every day, we noticed that there were so many potential cool hiding spots. The brothers had lots of fun putting the trail together. Hope you have as much fun as we did.

The trail runs the entire length of the King Vaughan Line and then some. Please be careful there can be a fair bit of traffic at times. Pull off to the side of the road as far as possible and be cautious when getting out of your vehicle. Some of the caches have parking coordinates, please use them. They have be selected for your safety.


Was the eldest son of King Canute II and Emma of Normandy and was therefore the heir to the English crown. He had been proclaimed king of Denmark in 1028 but when Canute died in 1035 Harthacnut was defending his land in Denmark. In his absence his illegitimate half-brother, Harold Harefoot was crowned King Harold I of England in 1037. Naturally there was a struggle between the two brothers that only ended on the death of Harold (17June 1040). Harthacnut sailed to England with a large fleet and was immediately accepted as king.
