Geocache Description:

Recommended parking is at the end of 8th Avenue off of 256th Street.  The walk to 264th Street and back will probably take between 45-60 minutes...a little over a km in length, one way.


This cache is located at the end of the completed portion of the South Langley Regional Trail.

Chestnut...in the equine world, refers to a certain coloration in horses. Chestnut, being the most common color, refers to a variety of tones of the reddish brown color that occurs in horses.  Also, all horses, regardless of color, have chestnuts on their legs...it is a callous on the inner leg, above the knee.  They vary in size and in shape and are sometimes compared to fingerprints in humans.   For purposes of registration, some registrys  require photos of them.  Check out the neighbours to the cache "Road Apples,"  see if you can spot their chestnuts.  One more thing...the nuts from a chestnut tree are poisonous to horses. 

Having to return to an area for one DNF cache, can be frustrating and wrecks the smiley trail...so here's an extra hint if need one. "If your feet are close to highway level....you won't find it...nor do they need to leave the trail."

This beautiful recently completed section of the South Langley Regional Trail is for use by pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders.  The trail will eventually link Campbell Valley Park with Aldergrove Lake Regional Park, with all the volunteer work being done the Aldergrove Chapter of the Back Country Horsemen of BC,  in partnership with the Township of Langley.  Complete with two solid horse-friendly boardwalk bridges, the trail winds through a gorgeous wooded area, over low swampy land, and borders along peaceful farmland before ending at the busy Highway of 264th Street.  The final portion of the South Langley Regional Trail is in the designing stages, and will complete the trail to Aldergrove Regional Park between 264th  & 272nd Street.

Congratulations Adroit Seeker on FTF!
