GCPVPY Highland Road View (Traditional Cache) in Ontario, Canada created by 419eatinghomer

This cache has been archived.

HomerJFong: Scoured the area for about an hour looking for an alternate location for the cache. The only places where I could conceivably hide the cache look to also be makeshift campgrounds for the homeless.

Since I don't want to return it to the original location where it was previously damaged, I must archive this cache.

I'll try and place a new one shortly to replace this one.

Geocache Description:

Parking would be closest behind the East Side Mario's on Highland, with a short walk to the nearby bridge and then up the hill. The trail is somewhat loose gravel on the hill, so cyclists should be aware of that. The trail also continues into the Westheights/Driftwood area, and there would be parking on those side streets as well, although traffic is busy at the intersections around the Mall. There is a tunnel underneath Westmount Rd. For public transit, routes 12, 19 and 24 go through the area.

Stay to the main trail as you climb the hill in order to avoid the 'campground' that others have mentioned.

Container is a Rubbermaid with a blue lid. Original contents are:

-$1.00 in Canadian Tire money
-A green 'fire rescue' truck (originally found in Pioneer Park)
-A hand grip exerciser
-A Victoria, BC killer whale pin (originally found at 'Stumped Key Chains')
-A yellow sharpie
-2 'AA' batteries
-A Hot Wheels 'Wail Tale' car
-A pedometer (originally found at "Plastic is better than cardboard")
-3 wheresgeorge'd bills
-A Craig Janney 1993 Leaf hockey card
-A 'Flashing Star' key chain
-Stringy Travel Bug

Congrats to robngill for bring FTF. I'd forgotten that I'd put the $5.00 in there as the prize, even though I had it typed on my list as the FTF prize.
