Description:

  • First, head out west on Highway 11 from Kapuskasing.

  • Drive through three small villages.

  • You will know that you are on the right path if you pass several creeks, “SolomonCreek, Montcalm Creek, Crow’s Creek” and a large Sawmill (Excel).

  •  Keep on driving you’re getting closer. In the third village, on the bridge with the same name as the town, you may measure 18.1km in a westerly direction.

  • Locate the Snow Devil’s sign (OFSC trail) on your right and head in that direction fifty meters past the sign.

  • You are almost there! On the trail, turn to your right again and let the GPS lead you to the cache, a white pail with a white lid.

Clue(s):

  •  The cache is located on the opposite side of the road as the monument and is no more than 20m from the (OFSC) trail itself.
