Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Oak Ridges "Challenge" Trail. This section of the Oak Ridge Trail (ORT) has a series of challenge caches covering a 3 km section from Lakeridge Rd (Durham 23) to Ashburn Rd and will take hikers through a lovely section of wooded forest, past wetlands and open meadow that make up the Oak Ridges Moraine.


The cache is at the posted coordinates.

Many people like to reminisce about the "good old days", and geocachers are no exception. In order to qualify for this challenge you will need to see for yourself how great caching used to be, by having found the oldest cache in at least 5 of Canada's 13 provinces and territories. I am providing a list of the oldest currently active cache in each one, but if you have previously found any that are older, those will count too. Here is a link to the ProjectGC checker, but I have a feeling that those of you who qualify will likely know that is the case!

PGC Checker

Most of my qualifying finds were made in the company of The Usual Suspects from Durham, and the trips to do so were quite memorable.

Logging rules:

1. All past finds count; however, the listing must actually be in the province/territory where you are claiming it, so locationless/reverse caches will only count if that is the oldest listing for that jurisdiction.

2. You are welcome to find this cache and post a note if you do not qualify yet, and update your long once you qualify.

3. Found logs that do not qualify for this challenge will be deleted.

Here is a list of the oldest currently active cache in each province or territory:
