Geocache Description:


The Elgin Trail runs 41 km from Port Stanley on Lake Erie to Southdel Bourne, following Kettle Creek and Dodds Creek, along some country roads for several kilometres, and then goes over the 401 and crosses a forest near the Green Lane landfill site. The trail is well marked with white blazes, but is not well-used, so it is overgrown at times.

This new series highlights the best hikes around the world, trails that we would someday like to hike on and enjoy. There are an assortment of caches along the Elgin trail commemorating these other trails. 

The Chilkoot Trail is a 55 km trail through the Coast Mountains that leads from Dyea, Alaska, near Skagway, in the United States, to Bennett, British Columbia, in Canada. It was a major access route from the coast to Yukon goldfields in the late 1890s. It crosses the border at the Chilkoot Pass. 

To find the coordinates for this puzzle, you must solve the following jigsaw puzzle:
