DVTS 3 – If Medusa Was a Tree Traditional Cache

Welcome to the ‘Dundas Valley Trails’ Series of geocaches.  I do a lot of running throughout this remarkable trail system and I love every minute of it. I’ve placed these caches in order to give you a reason to come explore them for yourself.

These caches will take you along the Sulphur Creek trail and parts of the Monarch Trail. I recommend parking at the end of Turnbull Rd which is the trailhead for the Sulphur Creek Trail. I have waypointed parking.

Collect the information provided in each cache in order to assemble the coordinates for the final (DVTS 9 - The FINAL: GC5JMNO). These caches will either be regular sized containers with lots of swag inside and lots of room for travel bugs and geocoins, or something creative and a little off the beaten path. I’ve done my best to make them winter friendly since winter exposes a whole different kind of beauty in these trails. They will also be kid friendly, so please bring the family for a great day in a natural setting.

This place is full of trees: Hemlock, Pine, Beech, Birch, Maple, old, young, fallen and long dead. A particular tree stands out from all the others. At least that’s the case during the winter season when it doesn’t have any leaves, and when I placed this cache. My first thought when I saw this tree was of Medusa, that character from Greek mythology whose hair was a nest of venomous snakes. Anyone that looked at her in the eye would be turned to stone. Well, only muggles will be turned to stone if they approach this cache. You are free to search high and low…but not too high…to find lock n’ lock container with many items to trade. It’s amazing what can be hidden in head full of snakes!

FOR THE FINAL: please make note of the Dundas Valley Conservation Area Fact written on the inside cover of the logbook
