This is our first trackable find! BrittAlbert5 and I were so excited. It came at a great time too, since I was going for a trip up Northern NB to Campbellton. Found at a cache named "Yes I can hear you #3". My plan was to drop it off at the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain in C'ton. My daughter and my fat butt hiked up with the sole purpose of placing this lock at the summit. As luck would have it, the cache placed there could not be located :'( We looked for the cache longer than it took for us to climb the mountain. So we placed it at the bottom of the mountain in a cache named "On the way up".
Here is a brief description of Sugarloaf Mountain:
Sugarloaf Mountain is a 281.1 m (922 ft) mountain in the northern Appalachian Mountains in Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada. The mountain is protected by Sugarloaf Provincial Park and lies within city limits, just south of the urban area. It is a Late Devonian age volcano.[2] Its formation is associated to a period of crustal thinning that followed the Acadian orogeny in the northern Appalachian Mountains. A Mi'kmaq legend states that Sugarloaf Mountain was created when Glooscap flung the leader of a group of giant beavers that had dammed the Restigouche River, blocking the salmon from their spawning grounds and depriving the Mi'kmaq of their food source. The beaver landed at the mountain's site and turned into rock, becoming Sugarloaf Mountain.
On 9 November 1924 two young women fell to their deaths on the steep almost vertical north slope of Sugarloaf Mountain facing the City of Campbellton. The two women, Mrs. Edmund MacLean (age 19) and Miss Lottie Ramsay (age 17), were sisters and had reportedly left their homes at approximately 4pm when they apparently decided to hike the mountain during a light snowfall. A search began later that evening when they had not returned to their homes. The following morning, searchers followed the footprints of the two women in the snow to the summit of the mountain and discovered that they ended near the cliff. Their disfigured bodies were discovered below the cliff, approximately six to seven hundred feet from the summit. Two crosses (white on red background) have been painted on the north slope of Sugarloaf Mountain near where the bodies of the two women were discovered as a continuous memorial to the only known deaths on this mountain.
I have taken photos of the lock at the summit and in the cache that we placed it in. Once I figure out how to add photos to this, I shall do so.
