Stage 6 of the GHMCMC series.
Pilkington
by J.A.R.S.
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!
See the GHMCMC Final page for more details!
Pilkington Overlook is a nice place to stop for a short break
through Mennonite country. There's a pleasant view of the Grand
River winding through a pastoral setting. There's a small parking
lot near the cache, look for the Pilkington Overlook sign.
The best way to get to the cache is from the main trail that leads
down to the water. Walk down the trail for about 125 metres or
about 3/4 of the way to the river. At N43 37.862 W80 26.503 look to
your right and you should see a small orange trail marker tied to a
cedar tree. Follow the markers, they're not really obvious because
I don't want non-cachers to notice. They lead the way to somewhere
near the cache. This will hopefully make the experience more
enjoyable and decrease the amount of bushwacking.
Don't cover up the cache too much when re-hiding it or it will make
it too difficult to find. We want this to be relatively easy
to find once you get near, so hide it to match the 2 difficulty
rating. Watch out for the spiny hawthorn tree
Watch for spider webs in the late summer/early fall months. Pick up
a stick and wave it in front of you as you walk to break them up.
BTW letterboxes are nearby (too close to add to the gc database).
