Geocache Description:




 

This is a Virtual similar to the Kings Highway 17 Virtual 

You need to visit each of the 9 locations in this one, all along the Highway 416, from Prescott to the 417, or the other way around. wink

The 416 Highway travels from the 417 in the North, to the 401 in the South. Its the main artery to get from the 401 into Ottawa.

It replaced the old highway 16 which started as Prince of Wales Dr, and travelled through a number of the communities you will visit as part of this cache. The Kings Highway 416 was built in 2 phases, and both North and South Sections opened completely in the late 1990s.  

Highway 416 was commemorated as the Veterans Memorial Highway on the 54th anniversary of D-Day in 1998. 

In keeping with the name of the highway, this Virtual tasks you with visiting memorial cenotaph locations in the towns that are close to the highway. None are more than 5-10 min off the 416. Take the time to acknowledge and reflect on the sacrifices of our currently serving and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces. 

Please post a unique photo, at each of the 9 locations of you, your geocaching party (you don't have to show your face). Alternatively you can show your caching name on a paper, or personal item to claim the find.  

Safe travels and ENJOY!
