Located in Musquash Harbour, North of Black Beach. The cache is in a small "loc N loc" camm'od container. The cache is located near the Conservation Canada Trail. The GPSr was showing an accuracy of 8M during the drop.
"This cache is situated on Nature Conservancy of Canada land along the Musquash Estuary which is the last fully functioning estuary (meaning where the sea meets a river) in the Bay of Fundy. The Nature Conservancy of Canada is a national non-profit land conservation organization, and they ask that you enjoy the nature reserve but be respectful of its protected status and stay on the trail. Further information on the Musquash Estuary and maps of the trails can be found on the Nature Conservancy of Canada website at www.natureconservancy.ca/at. You can help the Nature Conservancy of Canada by reporting on the trail condition in your comments!"
I decided to follow this trail after going to Cheesman Beach, and I was NOT disappointed. The cache can be found by following the Conservation Canada Trail.....or otherwise...head toward Coleson Cove and take the Burchill Road, just before the generating station. This road is still chip sealed but, after many years of neglect, has it's fair share of pot holes. Look for dirt trail on the left. An enjoyable walk through the verdant woods was marred by several drop sites of garbage...why are we doing this to our most beautiful province?? Follow the trail to Frenchman's Creek........ and be prepared to get your feet wet while crossing. Please consult the local tide chart (visit link) as Frenchman's creek floods at high tide and will stop your crossing. Story has it that Frenchman's Creek is named after a French privateer, who successfully hid from a British man' o'war ship, and was mired in the mud from the low tide. After Frenchman's Creek, follow the original trail and keep right Follow the GPSr to the cache
NOTE:This cache is easily found if the approach is from the Burchill Road and if taken at low tide. After crossing Frenchman's Creek, follow the original trail and be sure to bear right. Alders will sweep across the trail, but the original trail is still open. Should take only an hour or so......there and back!!!
