Geocache Description:

This Glen Road foot bridge covers the Rosedale Valley gap beteen Bloor St E and Glen Road. It seems to connect two entirely different worlds: The affluent Rosedale neighborhood (arguably Toronto's richest neighborhood) and St. Jamestown (the city's most diverse immigrant block). The bridge offers a stunning view of Rosedale Valley Road down below.


One of the more famous residents of the Rosedale neighborhood, and an avid walker of the bridge, is Canadian novelist Morley Callaghan (1903-1990). He wrote 18 novels and over 100 short stories, all about Canadians. Critically acclaimed around the world, he has been compared with Chekhov and Turgenev. He sold his first story while attending Riverdale Collegiate and worked as a reporter for the Toronto Star during his student years at the University Of Toronto. In 1928 he published his first novel, Strange Fugitive and in 1929 he married Loretto Dee. They lived in Paris - where they were befriended by Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Joyce - then in New York and Pennsylvania until the early thirties, when they returned to Toronto. Callaghan moved to Dale Avenue in 1951. Neighbours often saw and talked to him as he crossed this bridge with his wife and dog, Nikki, then with his dog, then alone until he died in 1990.

The cache is located near one of the entrances to the foot bridge. It is a well camo'd lock-and-lock container. It contains a log, a cork stopper, a big marble ball, some dinosaur toys, a pair of dice but no pen though so bring your own writing tool. There would be occasional muggles, especially during the rush hour so please use stealth whenever necessary. And please replace cache as it was found.
