Geocache Description:

All caches in this series are located along the 47.9 km stretch of the Toronto section of the Bruce Trail. Each cache is a standalone micro cache. There will also be 2 final regular size multi-caches in this series in which you will need to collect the clues found within each of the 5 mirco film containers to find these 2 multi caches. There will also be a bonus cache!

UPDATE: March 25, 2003: The cache as been replaced and put into a new hiding spot just a little further along the trail. It is now located at the following coordinates:
N43° 39.676
W79° 54.391

Each cache is very well hidden and will take you through some interesting points on the trail, many of which I am just discovering now as I place these caches. Since these are micro caches, it could potentially be difficult to find, and hence I will be rating the difficulty a 3 on all of them. My 5 year old son chose each of the hiding spaces himself and then we concealed it well. However, since you are taking the trouble to find these caches, the hint will tell you exactly where the cache is hidden, just in case you get stuck.

I have written a letter in coloured marker on the inside of the each lid and also on both sides of the log sheets. When you find the cache and if you want to attempt the 2 multi-caches, make sure you take note of what the letter is and what colour it is written in.

Bring your own pen/pencil to sign the log.


BT2: Papermill Dam
Recommended Parking:
N43° 39.846
W79° 54.370
Safest spot is at the side of the road on top of the hill. Although we parked on the shoulder by the bridge, I would not recommend it. Walk to the bridge and then down towards the river. On your left you will see the Credit Valley Footpath Side Trail (blue blazes) access point which takes you up some steps up the hill...that is the way to go. Also check out the dam by the river towards your right.
