Geocache Description:

It won't cost you a loonie to spot this cache...!

Edit: with so many DNF's, I've had to move to a new spot. Below the deck.

Greenspond is one of the oldest continuously inhabited outports in Newfoundland, having been settled in the 1690s. The community of Greenspond comprises several islands: the largest is Greenspond Island, and the smaller ones include Batterton, Ship, Newell's, Wing's, Pig, Maiden, Groat's, and Puffin Island. There are several explanations of the origin of the name "Greenspond". The most popular is that it is based on the names of two of the early families, Green and Pond. Another states that the name reflected the green of the trees that covered the island and the harbour basin which resembled a pond. Records from the French Colonial office referred to Greenspond as "Grin d'Espagne", roughly translated it means "a little bit of Spain". "Grin d'Espagne" could have subsequently been pronounced "Greenspond" by the English settlers.
