After almost five years, the
"Zodiac Series" has been a successful and satisfying experience,
but I feel the time has come to open up these areas for new
challenges. Therefore, each cache in the series will be archived on
the fifth anniversary of its publishing date. Many thanks to all
those who have, and will, visit!!
"The
Zodiac Series: LIBRA" will be archived on April 4,
2009.
LIBRA
September 23 - October 23
* Charming * Diplomatic * Sociable *
Libra is an air sign, ruled by the planet Venus and exalted by
Saturn.
===================================
The Zodiac Series is well suited to geocaching since the sun,
moon, and planets that follow their own paths through the fixed
constellations are known as "the Wanderers".
This is a thirteen part series of "stand alone" caches that
begins at the Southern Terminus of the Bruce Trail in Queenston,
Ontario, and works is way northward. All caches are accessible from
the Bruce (no side trails or loops). Under the lid, and on the
first page of the log book of the the first twelve caches, you will
find a number and either a "N" or "W" designation. Be sure to copy
down these "codes" accurately if you wish to locate the thirteenth
cache. ===================================
Libra is the seventh sign of the Zodiac, and therefore, the
seventh cache in the series.
Parking and Trail Head

Find spacious "Shoulder-of-the- Road" parking at the entrance to
Gate # 12 on Glendale Ave. (N 43 08.911, W 79 11.012). From there,
scamper across Glendale Avenue (please be careful) to find access
