The Manotick caches


As I mentioned in the previous post, we also went to Manotick that day. The first stop took us to a really nice park. The cache wasn’t hard to find though I imagine that during the busy season one would have to use a bit of stealth. This cache is all about pins, and I certainly found a pretty one.

On the way home we took in one more, on the outskirts of Manotick. Actually, the listing said to catch it while you can before the area becomes Mintoized. The people of Manotick aren’t happy about the rapid rate of development in the area. It will certainly change the nature of the place.
First we had to locate a 4 digit number and then do some calculations to come up with the waypoint. The cache was supposedly "kid friendly" but we waded through a lot of really tall grass, and trampled down a lot of clover and really began to wonder if we had used the right number to do our calculations. But then we found it. I guess we came in the long way, but were rewarded with a well stocked amunition box type of cache.
