Geocache Description:

A scenic hike up hills and down through a river valley. Note that this is a 2 STAGE MULTI-CACHE.

The TICO series is brought to you by Team TICO, a group of Ontario Geocachers interested in preserving trading caches as part of our hobby. Team TICO feels that geocaches containing interesting and unique trading items are an important and enjoyable part of the whole Geocaching experience. Historically, the original caches were all trading caches. In order to maintain the quality of trade items in caches, we believe that people should leave items of equal or higher value to replace items taken whenever you make a trade. Otherwise the trading items are reduced to an accumulation of “junk” items of no interest to anyone – in essence a dead trading cache. Our motto’s are:

“TRADE UP, TRADE EVEN, TRADE OFTEN” and “HELP KEEP THIS CACHE TRASH FREE”.

Whenever you see our red and black logo on a cache, please remember what it stands for and respect the intentions of those who placed the cache.

From the parking coordinates (trust me, use them!), go straight south to the trailhead and follow the abandoned road down to the river valley. The easiest approach is to follow the road up the hill on the other side of the creek and follow the ATV trails parallel to the river.

Alternatively, follow the river and take one of two switch back trails that go up the hill. There are 4 other caches in the same area , using the same parking - GCM7CT, GCMYFR, GCMYFV & GCMYG0.

Caution: Be very careful in the springtime when ice jams may cause flooding of the bridge.
