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: CAPRICORN" will be archived on October 14,
2009
CAPRICORN

* Ambitious * Confident * Patient *
Capricorn is a earth sign, ruled by the planet 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.
=================================
Capricorn is the tenth sign of the Zodiac, and, therefore, the
tenth cache in the series.
The Bruce Trail entrance that leads to Capricorn is located on
Ninth St. at N 43 06.765, W 79 19.528. I would recommend using this
starting point and locating "Capricorn" and "Aquarius" on a single
hike. The entrance to the trail from the other end is at Louth
Conservation Area, and would be a VERY long walk (Trust me, I
know). The trail is hilly and rocky and can be slippery during
inclement weather.
The cache is located about 20 metres off the trail in a space
between two rocks and obscured by another.
Good Luck With The Rest Of The Series!!!
