I wanted to place some more caches along the Grand Trunk Trail in memory of my heart dog, Bandit. There are a few gaps between other caches, a couple of which are missing, so adding these should hopefully make the trail more fun and encourage cachers to check out the entire trail.
Bandit and I often walked the full length of the Grand Trunk Trail, finishing at this location where he enjoyed posing with the railway exhibit.
This historical stone station was erected in 1858 and became an important junction on the railway. The station was closed in 1941 after serving the community for more than 80 years, and was subsequently abandoned. In 1965 the station was scheduled for demolition however with the support of J. Waldo Monteith, MP for Perth County, the station was recognized has having national significance and was spared demolition. The station has since been repaired and stabilized thanks to community fundraising and volunteer efforts.
The station is conveniently adjacent to St. Marys one and only off leash dog park so be sure to bring your canine friends for this one!
Cache is a hide-a-key container holding only a log sheet. BYOP!
Congrats to merzbow555 on the FTF!
