The name says it all. This cache is on the Prospector's Trail inside Fred Henne Park. Recommend that you park at the showers just inside the main gate, N6228219 W11424708, which is where the trail ends. Then walk to campsite #78, N6228413 W11424975, where the trail begins.This is a rough rocky trail, not bicycle friendly, which is marked but sometimes difficult to follow. Well worth the effort to do the whole 4km which should take approximately 90 minutes.
There is a Geodetic Survey point at N6228678 W11425054. The cache is approximately 200m further along the trail, about 15m off the trail. The container is clear plastic with a red screw on top (Hint: Geocacher's love peanut butter). The original contents are;- 2 pairs of Groucho Marx glasses- One bicycle tire repair kit (if you actually rode your bike on this trail you will probably need this)- A Canadian Flag iron on patch- A Budha- A Glengarry Highland Games pin from Maxville, Ontario- frog on a lillipad, spinning top, and a maze puzzle- plus 5 Mexican PesosThis is the first cache that I have hidden, so any comments about the location and rating are greatly appreciated. I used a Garmin Etrex 12 channel GPS and took readings over a two week period on four separate days.
