Geocache Description:

Cache brings me back to some fun childhood memories! Come to the Gatineau Hydro Corridor and enjoy the beautiful greenscapes and admire the giant Hydro Towers!
 


In our first week of caching as brand new cachers, Mini and I hid a cache near here, the former "The Diamond Mine" cache, which got muggled. Once it was muggled, I decided to archive it instead of replacing it for a few reasons, those being that 1) In it's very short life, my cache got compromised by muggles a few times before it completely went missing, 2) User logs on my cache told me that another cache once held that spot and I decided that between mine being muggled and tampered with several times in the span of a month and the last one being possibly muggled, this is a dangerous cache zone for muggle activity, and probably most importantly, 3) I looked into the "cache history" of the spot and discovered that the former cache there once belonged to a series and I felt bad for unintentionally "stealing" the spot.

 

All of that aside, I really wanted to hide a cache near here because I have fond memories of riding my bike though these corridors with my brother when I was very young. I used to love looking at the hydro towers and imagining them as giant statues of warriors without actually knowing what they were (my awesome 4 year old imagination laugh). Anyway it was fun and I never actually walked through these corridors again until recently and it made me feel warm and fuzzy, although that could be the EMFs (kidding). We found this spot which is a fair enough distance enough away from the old spot and still allows us to hide a cache nearby and in the Hydro Corridor so we bring to you the "Warrior Towers - Gatineau Hydro Corridor Cache".

There is parking across the street at the corridor on the east side of Pharmacy.

Note: I have a micro 1" container in the tree, this is not the cache. I placed it but changed the cache with a bigger and better one. I couldn't find the tiny one to remove it in the dark when I went to swap it out so in the mean time, please ignore this tiny one and go for the larger one.
