Geocache Description:

The original and ever so popular GHMCMC Series has officially been retired. This cache which represented stage 12 will remain as a stand alone traditional cache.

Your hunt of the “Evergreen Tunnels” cache will take you on an easy 1 Km hike to the cache location. You will start off by passing through a naturally wooded area and then a series of “man-planted” evergreen patches which contain the tunnels. The recommended parking coordinates are N43° 45.601, W79° 40.287. If you take the correct trail, you will enter the wooded area at N43° 45.601, W79° 40.066 at which point the trail forks. You should choose the trail to the left to assure getting to pass through all the tunnels. The longest, which is my favourite, is the Cedar Tunnel. The kids will love it.
This piece of geography is an old conservation area which is gated against automobile entry. The outer gates at the parking coordinates are opened daily for access to the horse ranch. The second set of gates are usually closed and locked. This is a very popular spot with dogs who like to let their masters run off-leash. There is also a horseback riding ranch in the park but you would not be able to take one on the cache hunt. (Sorry Flick),
The cache contains the usual cache trade items and log-book. Due to the limited view of the sky at the cache site resulting in minimal sat-lock, I have included some very descriptive info in the “Hints”. I suggest having it along with you. There is no bushwacking necessary to find this cache. Stay on the trail right to the cache area and remember to put on some MOSQUITO REPELLENT.
