Hidden Hamlets: The Final Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Hunter and the Hownd: So sorry to hear of the last two finders experience! Hope everyone has recovered. The cache had lots of room under the fallen tree when placed and I didn't think it would ever move. I guess those bees had the perfect hiding spot.
I have decided to archive the series as we have no time to fix things up right now.

Thanks to all for visiting.

Restricted Parking (No Parking 8 am – 5 pm, Mon - Fri, September 1 to April 30) near the trail entrance.

I recently discovered this hidden woodland and thought it was perfect for the final of the series. Check out the rocky area as you approach the cache - foundation of an old home perhaps? Great views of the creek valley below and six deer kept a watchful eye on me as I scouted the area.
The shortest way to the cache may not be the easiest.
Not recommended for night caching due to the terrain - steep slopes and large holes in the area.

Cache is a camouflaged 8” x 5” x 2” plastic container.

Thanks to Heritage Mississauga for their interest and resources for this series.
