Starting From The Roots - SLS #1 Traditional Cache

Welcome to the SAWMILL LOOP Series. This is a series of simple caches placed to give you an excuse to get out and enjoy this section of the Dundas Valley Conservation Area. They are all traditional caches, and there is no final, so enjoy the hike and find as many caches as you like. They will take you on part of the Sawmill trail and a short section of the McCormack trail to complete the loop.

Parking is available and can be accessed from the main entrance to the Conservation Area on Governor’s Rd. Admission is $10 per vehicle and it’s well worth the price! You can check out the trail centre, the trains, the bird blind and of course, all the trails!

Note: I named the caches as I placed them on a clockwise hike on the trail. The names might not make as much sense if you find them the other way. 

This is the first hide in this series. Cache is an ammo can in a in a likely hiding spot just a few meters off of the road that leads to the trail centre. It should be a very easy find, BUT please make sure to replace the natural camo before you leave. You’ll find that it is jam packed with items for the kids (or kids at heart!) to trade. Please remember to trade items that are of equal or greater value so that future geocachers have lots of good things to choose from! Please bring your own pen to sign the log.
