Predator Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Inuksuuk: After the tornados of May and July, 2022, the road was closed for a while because it was impassable with destruction. Today (November), we finally made it out to see the area and it was hard to recognize it as the same road where I placed those caches years ago. We managed to find and collect 17 of the 20 containers, some of which were on downed trees or under debris. I loved the series, but the area needs time to heal and rejuvenate. This was one of the containers I found and may use again somewhere else.

Geocache Description:


The Devil's 4 Mile Road is a single-lane gravel dirt road with potholes (that a small car can straddle in September/October's ideal weather conditions). The road is not maintained in winter. NOTE: In October, 2017, the road was graded with fresh gravel, filling in the potholes, but making the sides of the road a little steep in places. I talked to a local farmer who can't figure out why the township paid to have this God-forsaken road graded ??

Devil's 4 Mile Road is basically a "driveable" path that connects County Road 46 with Vansicle Road, north of Havelock. It is VERY windy, single lane and has dangerously steep drop-offs in some sections. I wouldn't drive it at night, if I were you. And go SLOW, or you could end up having to call a tow truck (if you can get cell reception). Please take precautions ! The geocaches were placed in locations where there was a safe pull-over for ONE vehicle (not a convoy !), so look for the pull-overs and use them!  

Often you can drive the entire 4 miles without seeing another car or truck, even in the nice weather of September and October, and even on a weekend ! It's not a busy place, and you will hopefully, enjoy the peace and quiet. Either that or you will be completely creeped out !

There is poison ivy, so wear long pants and wash when you get home. Ticks are not a problem in this region... yet. And there's no wild parsnip or giant hogweed.

All the caches were placed as close to the road as possible, to avoid bushwacking, and to make it a quick, power-trail.
