Congrats to 4CeasonS on FTF!
This cache is inspired by DAKOTA'S DEVIL CACHE, a C&C+Company geocache that lived nearby from 2004 - 2011, and I had the pleasure of finding. That cache has since been archived.
The trailhead will put you at the bottom of a steep ridge. From here up, expect a steep hike up a ridge.
At the posted coordinates my GPS was bouncing around a lot. Although I averaged many points, accuracy will still likely be an issue. The hint should help. It is less than 4 m away from the trail and a typar streamer (Feb 2018) marks the location.
C&C+Company had a very nice description of the Kentville Research Station in their Dakota Devil listing, which I copy below:
The Kentville Agricultural Centre (or the Research Station as it is commonly known) was the largest Dominion Experimental Station east of the St. Lawrence, and is located on the south side of Main Street, one mile east of the centre of Kentville. It was established through the efforts of the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers Association, and was first proposed in 1895. In 1910, two hundred and fifty acres of land were purchased by the Province (for the Station). In 1911 the property was taken over by the Federal Government and constitutes a part of the present Station property. During the winter of 1911 and 1912, lumbering operations were carried on and much lumber for the dairy barn and the Superintendent's house (now Blair House Museum) was milled at Margeson's Mill on Mill Brook. The total area in 1923 was four hundred seventy-three acres, a large part fell within the boundary of Kentville with an entrance to the property on Main Street. This Experimental Farm was originally intended to be a horticultural, and more particularly, a fruit research station. In 1918, insecticide and fungicide research resulted in the development of "Bordeaux Dust", which was soon used all over the world. The Plant Pathology Division was established in 1924, a Chemistry Lab was established in 1937, and an Entomology Lab was established in 1951. Every June since 1967, the Research Station has selected a Sunday for the public to come and view the wide display of rhododendrons and azaleas. Rhododendron Sundays draw many visitors from all over the Maritimes.
