William Kennedy lived in Nepean from 1831, and in the 1850s
moved to Jockvale. Wiliam's lot expanded to include 300 acres of
land, where his family would live for the next four generations.
The Original Kennedy farmhouse was sold in 1946 and is adjoined
today by the Barrhaven Fellowship Christian Reformed Church.
These families were joined and intertwined when two Kennedy
sisters married two Craig brothers.
For this cache, most direct access to the Kennedy-Craig forest
can be found at 45 17.398 75 43.170, though this can be easily
combined with another cache I have setup in the area.
Start on the trail, but you will need to select a point at which
to bushwack from. When the cache was being setup, the small stream
provided an interesting water hazard. Was able to cross the stream
via a convenient log, and I was glad I had my hiking pole with me
to keep stable and not fall into the creek.
Cache contents
- golf ball
- Canterbury Cathedral eraser (thanks Bluelamb)
- Navi worldwide yellow butterfly fish keychain

Please ensure you hide the cache in a similiar way it was found.
Lots of evidence of wildlife in the area, and there were constant
sounds of woodpeckers in the forest while I was setting up the
cache. Enjoy.
