Trans-Canada Highway Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nature Moomin: The cache cammo has broken away from the cache and been discarded and the lid is no longer removable from the cache. Time to put this one to bed I think. Many thanks to Jenny Rebel for setting the cache in the first place, I hope you are enjoying the caching, wherever you may be...

Geocache Description:

The Trans-Canada Highway runs across the entire length of Canada, connecting St John’s, Newfoundland on the Atlantic Coast with Victoria, British Columbia, on the Pacific Coast. Construction commenced in 1950. The highway was officially opened in 1962, but it was not finally completed until 1971.

The route has an overall length of 4,860 miles or 7,821 km. The route links several provincial highways, including No 1 (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba), No 17 (Ontario) and Nos 40, 20 and 185 (Quebec). It travels through all ten provinces of Canada, but there is no Trans-Canada Highway through any of the northern territories nor through Labrador. The Trans-Canada Highway is the world’s longest national highway.

The highway system is identified by distinctive white-on-green maple leaf route markers.

In 2012, a series of free public electric vehicle charging stations were installed along the main route of the highway by a private company, allowing electric vehicle travel across the entire length of the Trans-Canada Highway. This made it the longest electric vehicle-ready highway in the world.

The Cache - this is a cache and dash suitable for everyone. Wheelchair users may need help to retrieve the cache. You can park on Storrs Bridge Lane.

Congratulations Alfreton Divers for first to find.

This cache is maintained in memory of Jennyrebel.
