Geocache Description:

Cache is located in a grove of Mountain Ash trees not far from the main road running through the town of Port Hood, Cape Breton Island. Take route 19 to Port Hood. Enter the village and turn right at Rocky Ridge Road. Park at N46 01.333 W061 31.776, just beyond the no exit sign. An old lane covered with grass leads left from the road, through a meadow. Follow this path through a line of trees into a grove of Mountain Ash.

This is my first and only cache hidden.

It was a nice surprise to come across this grove of Mountain Ash (also known as the Rowan tree) aglow with red berries in beautiful Port Hood. There is also a lovely view of Port Hood Island from the large field just beyond where the cache is hidden.

The area is a little more overgrown than when I first went, but still a nice little spot.
