Geocache Description:

HEY IT'S HUNTING SEASON... DO YOU HAVE YOUR BLAZE ORANGE ON.

This is the third cache in a series to introduce you to key point along the "OLD COACH ROAD" that runs across the Chebucto Peninsula between Harrietfield to Glen Margaret on the St. Margaret’s Bay.


This in an interesting spot on the far side of Big Indian Lake. A large clearing that was old farmland long ago. If you are so inclined to explore this area you will find some interesting features. You shall find a rock wall marking the perimeter of the cleared field. Two foundation ruins, one presumably of the homestead with the chimney crumbled and lying beside it and the other perhaps from a barn or shed. Also a HUGE megalith boulder sits on the edge of this field.

The other interesting factor for this location, as the name eludes, it is also a LZ or Landing Zone. This old field in the middle of nowhere is often used by the Seaking helicopter pilots to train for "Confined Area Landings". Should you be so fortunate to do this cache while they are training you may see the sleek gray hound of death touching down and taking off again.

WARNING: IF THEY ARE PRACTICING THEIR LANDINGS DO NOT ENTER THE FIELD. THE DOWN WASH FROM THE AIRCRAFT CAN CAUSE DEBRIS TO FLY AROUND AND CAUSE INJURY. AS WELL SOMEONE SUDDENLY ENTERING THE FIELD COULD DISTRACT THE PILOT FROM CONCENTRATING ON A VERY DIFFICULT MANOVER. Please wait until they have departed before going for the cache find.

I have provided a list of WPs to assist you on your journey. The Track Points will guide you along the maze of trails to the cache. The "Answer Question" WPs are actually points of interest around the cache site.
