SHHHHHH, be vewy vewy quiet! Don't disturb Silent Sam! Definitely don't poke him with a stick! Sam doesn't like to be poked by sticks, and Sam doesn't like to be sneaked up on! Even though he doesn't have a big mouth, he can still getcha! So beware and be warned!

Permission to place these caches has been granted by both the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Elgin County Stewardship Council. Hunting is allowed within the confines of the FWMA when in season, so cachers should be aware of this when caching here. Also, all caches are placed reasonably close to trails within the FWMA so there is no need for traveling through agricultural crops or bushwhacking Although several of these caches may appear to be roadside grab and go’s, all are within the confines of the FWMA and must be accessed from within the grounds. Parking can be found at N 42 41.351, W 081 19.948. Trail maps and other information pamphlets can be obtained at N 42 41.268, W 081 19.861.
