Shubenacadie FFF (Farming, Fowl, Fishing)
More of a "driving" geocache, about 17KM overall in the Shubenacadie area. Allow about 2 hours, plus time if you stop to see some of the attractions along the way.
QUESTIONS start with a Q, ANSWERS start with A.
e.g. Q1 = Question number one. A1 = Answer number one.
You should print this out in advance, so you can write on the form. The responses to various questions need be substituted to move forward.
Total trip is about 17KM
