Geocache Description:


I have done a lot of hiking to find various caches on this trail and I knew it was a long trail.
I decided I wanted to hike the whole thing, all 25 KM of it.
It was time for an all day cache.
It took me 5 hours to hike the loop just marking a few points the first day.
It took me just over 7 hours to set the cache, so I expect it will take closer to 8 or 9 hours to finish the cache.

At each point I have placed three labels, all have the same information.
I wanted to make sure if you attempt the cache you will meet with success.
The N 43° and the W 79° are implied so they are not on the tags
The labels have the north and west coordinates and a 3 digit number you need to find the final.
You will need to record the 3 digit number.
The labels are blue Dymo labels, attached with thumbtacks.
There are 11 sets of tags and the final.
Make sure you write the numbers down correctly.
Some stages are 2 to 3 KM from each other.

Parking is available in Hilton falls conservation area.
$5.50/person or free if you have a Bruce trail card
43° 30.367 79° 57.689
The area opens at 8:30 AM.

The trail head is 43° 30.528 79° 57.449
Once you are on the Hilton falls side trail follow the Blue blazes until the end of the trail.
It may get a bit confusing behind the scout camp.

The last waypoint will direct you back to the original waypoint.
Once you have all of the numbers.
Add them up divide the total by 1000 and add it to both
N43° 28.520 and W79° 55.440

If you believe there are any problems with the cache setup, please advise me privately so that I may fix them if necessary.

GOOD LUCK!!
