Geocaching
Geocaching is a personal favorite activity of mine. Bascially you get some latitudinal and longitudinal co-ordinates, plug them into a GPS or GPS enabled device like a smartphone and use them to locate a hidden "cache", a small box with a logbook to record the find. It sounds pretty easy and sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't but it's always a lot of fun.In order to geocache you need the following:
Sign up at www.geocaching.com, it's free.
The following caches are located at the Fortress of Louisbourg:
The Harbour
The Fishery
Fishing Village
Ruined Walls
Fading Lines
Fortifications
Frederick Gate
The caches contains a link to more information which can accessed from the Parks Canada Website.
There are also caches located all over Cape Breton Island. The Cape Breton Highlands National Park acutally has a few special cache challenges setup that I will go over in a post coming up soon.
Also, we are hoping to get a listing of upcoming events in the Highlands from a new poster who will be keeping us up to date on happenings in northern Cape Breton, Nova Scotia for the summer.
