Geocache Description:

This is a five leg multi-stage cache located on woodland trails behind the Dr. W. A. MacLeod School in Riverton, Pictou County.
This cache was selected as "The Best Hidden Treasure Cache" for Nova Scotia in 2005.




***IMPORTANT NOTE***
Permission to access these trails and this cache is given only for evenings, weekends, school holidays or during the summer months when the school year is over. Any breach of these rules will cause this cache to be discontinued on this web-site as well as on the ground immediately.

Hunting for this cache will take approximately 1 ½ hours and cover a total distance of 2 km. and will lead you along several interconnected woodland trails. The terrain is relatively dry, but somewhat rough with roots, some debris and uneven ground. The complete search can be accomplished by staying on these trails. Four mini caches are hidden on or near the trail. Hints or coordinates found at the mini cache sites will guide you along the way (no math involved).

Watch and listen for deer, owls and pileated woodpeckers.

To access this cache, park at the Dr. W.A. MacLeod School and hike up through the play equipment and field to the power line. The woodland trail begins at coordinates N 45 32.550 W 062 40.200 on the power line. From here, leave the power line and hike up the trail to coordinates N 45 32.471 W 062 40.420 where the trail divides. Bear left and go 46 paces to some windfalls that fell across the trail. Check around where the hole is cut through the windfalls and “Do not leave a stone unturned” to find your first mini cache with the next set of instructions.

The main cache consists of a well hidden yellow plastic toolbox containing regular cache items.

Additional Hints (No hints available.)
