"Chef Mike's" Cache in the Natural Heritage System Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Bug Finders: Well, it's sad to see this one go. It was placed almost 5 years ago now, and earned 16 favourite points. When this cache was first placed, the holes at GZ, were not yet started, and the land was just a muddy field. Now with the subdivision only 40 metres away, this one's life span was limited.

Eventually, after 5 years, someone finally CITO'd Chef "Mike".

BTW, Chef "Mike" was a microwave oven, that someone had pitched into this beautiful green space. The Name "CHEF MIKE" cam from a restaurant make-over show, where the cooks, took old food from previous nights, through it in the microwave, and heated it up.

Chef Mike apparently had the most important job in this kitchen.

Anyway, "Chef Mike is gone, and so is this cache. It just wouldn't be the same with out him!

Thanks to all the visitors the Chef had.

This cache is for you, "Chef Mike!"  

Thank you for taking care of us!

 

The following information has been taken from the Town of Oakville website, and gives a brief description of the Natural Heritage System, in which this cache is hidden.

Oakville’s Natural Heritage System

The Natural Heritage System, which runs through the New Communities of Oakville, is made up of about 900 hectares of protected land (including woodlots, open fields, watercourses and valleys) and reflects the commitment of landowners, the town and Conservation Halton to protect and enhance the natural environment.

Keeping more people close to home, work and play is the road map for the New Communities of Oakville. The neighbourhoods will be walkable and transit-friendly. And the integration of a network of natural and open spaces with vital neighbourhood centres will create a more livable, compact urban community with a greater mix of housing and employment opportunities. Check back for more information as we start to shape the New Communities of Oakville.

The Natural Heritage System is located in the four new communities of Oakville: 407 West, Sixteen Hollow, Glenorchy and Joshua's Meadows.

In comparison:

Stanley Park in Vancouver is about 400 hectares.

Central Park in New York City is about 340 hectares.

High Park in Toronto is about 160 hectares.
