This earthcache is a major sand dune built up over several centuries by the work of Mother Nature and the traditional northwesterly winds blowing off of Lake Huron. I believe that this location is the highest elevation point in Lambton County.
This sand dune is also a well known land mark in the area, especially when approaching from the south. I have been familiar with this feature for most of my life as my family and relatives would often make the trek to Port Franks since the 1960's or earlier to get together with our relatives either at someone's cottage or later at my parent's cottage.
This dune has been a local landmark and an attraction for those in the area for many years. The property on both sides of the Port Franks Road is owned by the County of Lambton and is accessible to the public for trail hiking but no fires or camping is permitted at any time.
This dune is also listed on waymarking.com.
To fulfill the requirements to claim this as an earthcache found by yourself you are requested to answer the following questions:
1, According to your GPS what is the elevation at the foot of the earthcache on the shoulder of the road?
2. Now, please take your time and make the ascent to the top of the hill. Again, what elevation is your GPS indicating at the top of the dune?
3. What steps have been taken by the County of Lambton to protect the dune from destruction by humans. You may have noticed deterioration from human activity at the top of the hill. Please describe what is taking place?
4.What action/steps have been taken by the County of Lambton to ensure that people only ascend the dune within a certain area of the dune?
I hope you enjoy(ed) your visit to this large sand dune easily accessed from Port Franks Road. Looking forward to seeing your geocaching logs.
