The goal of this series is to share a brief history of Brantford with you. The first three caches will give you bits of history about Joseph Brant, and the Brantford area.
This cache is one of four caches in the "History of 'Brant' ford Series." You need to record a two or three digit number found at each of the first three caches in this series to complete the coordinates for the FINAL CACHE IN THIS SERIES (e.g. Z = 22).
BYOP, and beware of Muggles! STEALTH REQUIRED!
I really like finding a geocoin or a travel bug in a cache after following the clues and spending time in the search, but I must say that my favourite cache is an educational one. I love actually coming away from a day of caching with some new knowledge gained. I enjoy history, and since there isn't a "History of Brantford" cache out there, I decided to put a short series together.
The History of "Brant" ford Series includes:
