Geocache Description:

We were driving past the mountainous roundabout we call Mount David J. and thought what a great place for a Geocache.

It is an easy find but try to keep it hidden like you found it. A monetary prize for FTF. Enjoy the view and post some pictures from the caching!!
.
You can park off the shoulder of the roundabout and climb up or park in the various parking lots.
Enjoy,

Hagey Boulevard
This street was named after the late Dr. Joseph Gerald (Gerry) Hagey who was undoubtedly, the key person among the small group of Kitchener-Waterloo citizens who initiated the founding of the University of Waterloo. Without him, none of it would have happened. He has been therefore, profoundly influential in the lives of everyone connected with the university. Alumni, students, faculty and all the non-teaching staff.
 
Wes Graham Way
Named after the late Wes Graham, the retired computer science professor who has been called “the father of computing” at the University of Waterloo. The man, who it has been said, did more than any one person to put the University of Waterloo on the map in computing.
