Geocache Description:

Golden Horseshoe Multi-Cacher Multi-Cache
Stage 10 of the GHMCMC series.
End of the Road
by Barnie's Band of Gold


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.
