Geocache Description:

This cache is probably one of my easiest so far, in the vicinity of the Billing Estate Museum. It's ideal for a lunch break or a family picnic. I haven't visited the museum yet but will eventually.



Ottawa's oldest frame house

This cache was placed for the Go and Get Em 6!!! event but it can still be found.

The posted coordinates are those of the entry of the Billings Estate Museum, where free parking is available.

Somewhere very close to Ottawa's oldest frame house (i.e. the museum building), is an artifact that points to True North (neat, isn't it?). From there, project yourself 230 meters, 203 degrees True North and find the cache which is a 500g peanut butter jar full of goodies.

Reception at the cache location can be bad but the hints will help you if needed. The trail should be wheelchair accessible in summer, but unfortunately the final meters would be terrain level 2.

Note: feel free to complain about my english by e-mail ;-)

Please do not include spoilers in your logs. Logs with spoilers will be deleted immediately. If you believe there are any problems with the cache setup, please advise me privately by e-mail so that I may fix them if necessary.
