The cache is in a cleverly disguised peanut butter jar with a green lid. It's located just off of a hard packed track a short distance from Royal Windsor Drive, south of the Oakville Truck Plant.
The cache contains small die cast cars. I would like to stick to this theme with Hot Wheel or Matchbox type cars being exchanged. This cache is located near Ford's Truck assembly plant in Oakville Ontario. June 28, 2004 marked the final day of production at Ford of Canada's Ontario Truck Plant. Employees transfered to the adjacent Oakville Assembly Plant, Home of the Ford Freestar, or have chosen to take retirement incentive packages Ontario Truck Plant opened in 1965 and has produced more than four million vehicles.In 2002, Ford Motor Company announced a North American restructuring plan to align manufacturing capacity with customer demand, resulting in the closure of five plants, including Ontario Truck Plant. The Ontario Truck started production on August 26, 1965 with the 1966 Ford F-100 and moved on to produce more than four million light, medium and heavy trucks over nearly four decades. Ontario Truck was the only plant in North America chosen to build the SVT F-150 Lightning, the fastest pick-up ever, and the limited edition 2000 Harley-Davidson F-150. Ford of Canada’s operations include a national headquarters, six regional offices, five vehicle assembly and engine manufacturing plants, two parts distribution centres, and affiliates including Ford Credit, Jaguar, Volvo, Land Rover and Hertz. Ford employs nearly 16,000 people, while an additional 21,000 are employed in 500 Ford and Ford-Lincoln dealerships across Canada. In 2003, revenues for Canadian operations were $20.8 billion, making Ford of Canada one of the country's largest privately held companies. UPDATE!!! OAKVILLE, Ontario, Oct. 29, 2004 - Ford Motor Company today announced plans to invest $1 billion (CDN) at its operations in Oakville, making it Ford's first flexible assembly plant in Canada capable of producing more new vehicles, more quickly and more efficiently. The facility will also be home to a ground-breaking research and development centre focusing on fuel cell technology.
