GCC#040 Snapping Turtle Traditional Cache

The snapping turtle is Ontario’s most prehistoric-looking turtle species. Its long tail has a series of triangular spikes along the top that are reminiscent of those of a stegosaurus.

The store across the road, built in three sections, was a working general store from 1895 till it closed in 2011. Located next to the Irondale, Bancroft & Ottawa Railway tracks, it established Highland Grove as the commercial hub of the area. The original southern half of the store was winched up the hill and joined with the 1905 northern store addition. The kitchen was added in 1940. It is now a private residence.

Once you find the cache, you will have to hunt for the log. Please put everything back as you found it.
