Have fun finding this one in the
forest.
This cache, within the
Elliott Woods, is accessed via the entrance along the 30/31
OroMedonte (no winter maintenance) side road.
This seven-hectare woodlot has been conserved in perpetuity for the
benefit of future generations thanks to this land being gifted by
the Elliott Family to The Couchiching Conservancy.
The protected land is part of an important natural landscape in
southern Ontario - the Oro Moraine. Towering steeples of sugar
maple and red oak create a canopy over the property, as trilliums
and other plants blanket the forest floor.
Along the trail you will see the remains of an extensive maple
syrup operation that was an attraction for many years. Also piles
of logs that were gathered to feed the maple syrup distilling
furnace.
To reach the cache requires about 100m of moderate bushwaking from
the open trail as the old trails have become overgrown with shrubs
and fallen branches. The container,a cylindrical lock and lock,at
eye level, has some good loot when placed. Please trade.
