Hidden over four
years ago, initially as a brainstorm of Flick, the GHMCMC has
pretty much run it's course as a cache series.
So, as of July 1, 2007, the FINAL stage of the GHMCMC series will
be removed. Each of the individual caches will continue as
standalone caches at the discretion of the individual cache
owners.
Thanks to everyone who participated in hiding the caches, and to
the hundreds of cachers who found the various caches!
The Golden Horseshoe region of Ontario
is the area around the western end of Lake Ontario, and includes
such urban centers as Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington,
Hamilton, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. For this cache series,
we've extended the region to Newmarket in the northeast, Waterloo
in the northwest, Port Dover in the southwest, and Fort Erie in the
southeast. More than half of the population of Ontario lives in or
around these cities.
The Golden Horseshoe Multi-Cacher Multi-Cache is a cooperative
effort of fourteen local Geocachers. Each of the individual Stage
caches may be treated as a normal, single cache. You can complete
the 14 Stages in any order. Each Stage will include a *SECRET*,
written on the underside of the cache container lid. As of July 1,
2007 the secret will no longer be required as the Final Stage! is
being decommissioned
See the GHMCMC Final page for more
details!
The 'End of the Road' cache is
located in Syvan Park, part of the beautiful Scarborough Village.
Access to the 'End of the Road' cache will be as easy or hard as
you choose to make it!
- Consult your maps but don't trust
them!
- Carefully choose your access point
to match your physical capabilities or,
- approach by boat!
Note: While enjoying the view, take a look offshore in the
southeast direction. The mostly submerged structure you see is the
remains of the sidewheel steamer 'Alexandria' On August 3, 1915 the
Alexandria encountered heavy weather and became stranded near the
Scarborough Bluffs, and broke up from the severe pounding just off
the beach. All on board were rescued by the crowd of people that
gathered on shore.
