This cache is located in the Rosedale neighbourhood, just off a cycling/jogging ravine trail. Rosedale is one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in Toronto; it is known as the area where the city's so-called old money lives, and is home to some of Canada's wealthiest and most prominent citizens. You will eventually have to leave the trail for steeper terrain.
This ravine divides Rosedale into north and south portions. South Rosedale was first settled by Sheriff William Jarvis and his wife, Mary, in the 1820s. Mary Jarvis, whose frequent walks and horseback rides blazed the trails for Rosedale's meandering streets (which are one of the area's trademarks), named it Rosedale, as a tribute to the abundance of wild roses that graced the hillsides of the Jarvis estate.
If you’re taking the TTC, you can get off at either the Sherbourne Station and head north (just over 1 km to the ravine), or Rosedale Station and head east (less than 1 km). There is also a bus that travels through the neighbourhood, but schedules vary. If you are driving, you can park along Roxborough Drive East at coordinates N 43° 40.855 W 079°22.800, or park anywhere in this neighbourhood east of Mt. Pleasant and north of Bloor and take a leisurely stroll by the beautiful and stately homes.
Cache is a tupperware container with a green lid.
Congratulations to Cedar Grove Seekers, who were FTF!
