Yesterday, while coming home from Ottawa, we decided we would go looking for the geocache on the Lost Osgoode Trail. The instructions told us where to park, and then said to take either the left or right trail, which would supposedly take us to an adjoining trail where we could look for the cache.
There was a warning that said one way would likely be very wet while the other was dry. There was no indication as to which was which, but we went off to the left. We figured that one would be dry as there was a ditch running along side of it. We found a trail that cut off from it, and followed that but before long there were blackberry vines growing across the path. We decided perhaps this trail was not well traveled, and turned back.
Then we tried the trail leading to the right. Obviously this trail could have been very wet had there been any rain this year, but it was just fine for walking this year. We did miss the little trail leading off it, and ended up at a road, so we turned back and found the trail we figured we were supposed to follow. It did some twisting and turning and watching the GPS we still were not sure if we were on the right path. There were plenty of downed trees across the path, but it was still easily passable.
The thing was, it was getting close to sundown, and we didn't want to find ourselves in the woods in the dark, so we had to turn back. We have decided though, that it's a nice area for a walk and we will go back and find the cache at some later date.
As usual, I felt like I got my treasures as I found things to photograph along the way.
