Geocache Description:

This is the 6th in a series of caches located at exits along the 103 highway between Halifax and Bridgewater, inspired by Canada's first geocache at Exit 7. This is also part 1 of the Highway 103 Literary Trilogy.

If you're one of those people that really likes to read the entries in cache log books, this cache is for you.

Since I received positive feedback on my Halifax Literary Trilogy (So the Story Begins..., So the Story Goes..., and Hark! I Hear a Haiku!), I decided to do another literary trilogy as part of the Quick Exit series.

Local Expressions

Many people grew up or have lived in rural communities, which often have sayings and expressions peculiar to that area. Saying them there is nothing out the ordinary, but saying them elsewhere gets you laughter or questioning looks. For example, if I exclaimed in Ottawa "By da tunderation!" people probably wouldn't know what I was talking about. But where I grew up, they'd know it's... well, it's an exclamation. I don't know if it has an exact translation (perhaps "By the thunderin'!"), but it's basically an exclamation of surprise or disgust.

This cache is a trading cache, but what you'll be trading is your literary knowledge. To claim a cache find you must both find the cache container and in your log entry leave a local expression or idiom, complete with definition if possible, from some place you have lived. Try to make it a unique one other cachers would not have heard. Also please remember to keep it G rated sayings; kids are cachers too.

There is a wide paved shoulder near the cache at N44°37.964' W063°42.980' that has lots of place to leave a car.
