This series of nine "park-n-grab" caches in Timberlea is intended to highlight a segment of Nine Mile River, which played an important role in the community's history.
Parking is available in Riverview Drive Park (or just outside, if your vehicle has low clearance), which is an officially recognized by HRM right-of-way access point to Nine Mile River.
As this is a micro cache, be sure to bring your own pen/pencil.
From Wikipedia, at the time of cache publication:
Timberlea was originally known as Nine Mile River, after the river in the centre of the community which fed several early mills. Several hotels were established to cater to travelers and later sportsmen and the Nine Mile River was crossed by an arched stone bridge which survived until 2014 as one of the only surviving stone bridges in Nova Scotia.
After the arrival of the Halifax and Southwestern Railway in 1904, the community was referred to as Bowser's Station, after Angus Bowser, who ran a hotel near the area's train station near present-day Greenwood Heights.
It was renamed Timberlea in 1922 to reflect the importance of the forest and lumbering.
About this particular cache:
This cache is significantly more accessible than the remainder of the caches in this series. I picked up the original container at GCWQWJ -- there were two there when I found it, and there needn't be two there, so now there is one there, and the other container went here, until it disappeared and was replaced.
