Decided to place this cache for a fellow cacher that lives in the south part of N.B. now but is well know in these parts. They have been know to return in the surrounding area from time to time visiting and of course doing a few caches. I hope they enjoy the placement of this cache.
Be careful when retrieving and replacing the cache. Keep small children back from the bank.
Having visited this area many times throughout the years I found this a very peaceful and beautiful place. It seems like every time that I stop it offers you a different picture for each season. Take time to enjoy the beauty that it has to offer also take time to visit Four Falls Earthcache GCQHZN put out by Northwoods Explorer just down the stream from here.
Four Falls is a series of waterfalls formed by the Limestone Stream as it cascades wildly into the Aroostook River. This area is steeped in history due to the Aroostook War over the location of the boundary between an emerging country, United States, pushing for independence and another, Canada, wanting to remain dependent upon the British Commonwealth. The Americans were laying claim to the area and it was not until the Webster-Ashburton Treaty that the area was deemed British Territory and bloodshed was averted.
Four Falls, as one would surmise consist four major drops and a number of smaller falls over broken bedrock. The fall is about ten meters wide with the drops varying in height. The falls is in a rural setting just off the Trans Canada Highway. Even with the close proximity to civilization it has an amazing wilderness feeling due to thick over cover and the roar of the water as it careens over and around large boulders. The falls start with a broken dam that was once a waterwheel for milling grain. The final drop is where the area changes into the Aroostook Riverbed. The rocks in the stream are large and very angular and well polished.
Cache is a camoed peanut butter jar with a log book,pencil and some traders. A FTF gift to take and enjoy.
Yes it is hard to resist a FTF Congratulations to K57
