Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates.  The final location is obtained by visiting 5 sites within a few km. of here.

Reduce, reuse, recycle isn't just a term of the last 20 years.

Many buildings have been moved to a new location over the years rather than face demolition. I find it fascinating to have seen some of these moves and the logistics involved.  

Three of the moves are related to the Construction of the "Conestoga Parkway or Expressway" and widening of the # 7&8 highway in Waterloo Region in the 1960's.  For more information on the Construction, planning etc. visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conestoga_Parkway

Photos of the two apartment moves are courtesy of my Boshart cousins.  This history of the Wilmot Centre moves come from my mother's 150th Anniversary of the Township and Millenium celebration notes and family recollections.

The Adventure Lab is a non-sequential one.  You may want to start on Bleams Rd, Wilmot Centre Rd, then visit the sites in New Hamburg and finish with the Gingerich home. 

It's possible to do it by bike, but I recommend driving.

If you have finished the Adventure lab, you should have all you need to find the final using these:

N 43 23.MO1 W 080 3V.ED8

I hope you enjoy.
