A quick park and grab!
A short 12 cache power trail placed on a old unmaintained road. I dubbed it the 'Tyendinaga Trail'.
Each cache is named after my caching friends back in the Niagara Region.
Welcome to Tyendinaga!
On the 1st of April 1793, a tract of land the size of a township was granted to the Six Nations people by the Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe, in a document known as the "Simcoe Deed" (also referred to as Treaty 3 1/2.) The original area of the territory was the size of a township, approximately 92,700 acres. Over the years our land has been reduced by land alienations and surrenders to approximately 18,000 acres. Originally referred to as the Mohawk Tract, Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory is located approximately eight miles east of Belleville and approximately 50 miles west of Kingston. Tyendinaga, when translated in English, means "placing the wood together." Of special significance, the name is derived from "Thayendanegea," Captain Joseph Brant's Mohawk name and reflects the belief that "our strength shall be in unity."
BYOP! Hide BETTER than found!
