'Solstice' seasons and 'Kismet' aptly describes the location of
this traditional cache. The cache location will invite a visit to
the small park close by. Glamor Lake, with its Trent Canal System
dam, connects to Little Glamor Lake. The waterway is monitored
twice daily. The traditional cache is easily located and is a food
safe type container. It contains the Welcome Letter and Disclaimer.
Also, log book with pencil and sharpener, usual trinkets and trade
items. There are no travel bugs or geocoins in this cache. Perhaps
the cache visitor will linger at the park, taking in Highlands
East, Haliburton County's awesome scenery, shoreline or a walkabout
in the surrounding woods. There is no camping allowed in this small
municipal park; however, during daily park use there are washrooms
and a parking area. There is a boat launch to both Glamor Lake and
Little Glamor Lake. This is a family and outdoor enthusiast
location. A Loon Sanctuary is established on the small island in
Little Glamor Lk. and posted are rules, do's and dont's for
visitors to adhere to. Swimming (a small sandy beach), canoeing,
kayaking and fishing offer visitors the opportunity to enjoy and
discover mother nature's treasurers - bring your camera and
binoculars! There are many cache locations in the Highlands East,
and you are invited to visit www.geocachingcapitalofcanada.com for
locations in Wilberforce and Greater Surroundings, including the
south end of Algonquin Park - "naturally beautiful, geocacher
friendly and one third crown land!" Also, the Highlands East
Arts&Crafts Tour Group (HEACTG) host local artists and artisans
with an annual Tour event, Aug.12th&13th - to download brochure
and map go to www.highlandseastartour.com Perhaps cache visitors
will want to return to the Highlands East and explore more caches,
to take in this tour and to revisit 'Solstice-Kismet'. Be sure to
bring your cross country skis, snowshoes and camera when planning a
visit to this cache site during winter solstice - the winterwhite
landscape is breathtaking! As a footnote: regarding the water
levels please keep in mind that levels for all waterways drop early
September and return to normal levels mid-April.
