Geocache Description:

Winter friendly cache that can be easily found until the snow gets to approximately 4 feet deep.  A pair of showshoes would be a definite asset.


Had to wait over a week to activate this cache.  After placing two other caches here recently, I did not want to read that the FTF simply followed my trail.  After the snow today, my tracks should be covered.  Hence the cache name.

Cache was placed due to the frustration I have felt in the last few weeks when caches are not easily found due to snow.  Snow should not be a problem for this cache.  Cache is located off the main trail.  A nice walk during the winter.  Other than the possibility of PI or wetness, cache conditions should be good for all other seasons as well. During winter, it is a very family friendly cache for all ages, as long as legs are long enough for snowshoes. There is a Scouts Canada Crest for the first to find.  Not much room for anything else other than the logbook and pencil. Be prepared for a 15-20 minute round hike for an adult.  Parking on the road in winter is not such a good idea, as there is not much room.  There is ample parking at the new Ottawa Recreation facility nearby.  My timings are based on parking here. Cache was placed during a walk with my dog with a temperature of -24 degrees Celsius.  My GPS kinda jumped around a bit.  I am blaming it on the cold.  Double checked the next day.  It was just as cold but I got the same readings.  If there is a concern about coordinates, please let me know and I will check in warmer weather.
