Michael Thomas Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

LMB41: This cache is gone along with the fence that hosted it. There is no chance of replacing the cache.
In the seven years since this cache was first placed, the setting has changed from a secluded
difficult-to-reach corner to an easy-to-access public park. The cache location that was once well
hidden is now overlooked by a large apartment building. This cache was of a type often referred
to as a handy-cap cache. Any replacement would have to be different and in a very different
location. With considerable regret, I am therefore forced to archive this cache.

Geocache Description:

This winter friendly cache can be found on an infrequently visited almost dead end on the Stratford Trail system that is located just metres from the Hillsborough River across from the Charlottetown harbour.

As of 2021 July, the Stratford Trail access to the cache from Stratford Road is still blocked by a fenced construction site but this can be bypassed to the south. Another access route involves travelling to the end of Michael Thomas Way, newly built to service the just-constructed Shorefront apartment building. I leave determining the location of Michael Thomas Way as a homework assignment. Another alternative is to park behind the CGI Building on Stratford Road and walk a short distance.
 
This location and cache are dedicated to Michael Thomas (1885-1954) a Mi'kmaq runner originally from Lennox Island and now a member of the Prince Edward Island Sports Hall of Fame. His statue and a sheltered picnic table can be found near ground zero.

You will need to bring your own pen or pencil.
