Geocache Description:

This is a shameless way to get you to visit one of Ontario's oldest communities. Unionville is a few miles NE of Toronto, Ontario, near the corner of Hwy 7 and Kennedy Road. Visit the website at www.unionvilleinfo.com.

Finding the cache will not require bushwhacking. In winter, bring some boots since it may involve some uncleared snowy paths. Note also that, in non-summer, a lot of the shops are closed Mondays.

The whole thing should take less than an hour. If you stop to shop or eat or visit the art gallery it could take much, much longer.

The cache is a 2.5 qt clear Rubbermaid container with a white top and contains the usual tradeable goodies. Park at N43 52.060 W079 18.670. Walk due W and go up the stairs. Read what follows TWICE. Answer the questions, which are in random order. Except for one answer and the cache itself, all answers are within 25 feet of Main Street's sidewalks. All answers are on permanent signs or plaques - don't bother looking at temporary banners and posters. You will not need to pass the tracks or Carlton Rd.
