As they’ve done for the past couple of summers, the Land O’ Lakes Tourist Association in eastern Ontario is sponsoring the Hi Tec Trek III. In years past they would supply a series of GPS coordinates, then your job was to visit those locations and make a note of what attraction you found there. This year it’s a bit different. Rather than supplying you with the coordinates, they are asking for the coordinates for the six given locations. When you’ve visited all six spots you win a pair of Bushnell Binoculars worth about 40 bucks.
Here are the six locations you’ll need to visit and make note of their GPS coordinates;
Holleford Crater – Holleford
Golden Fleece Mine – Flinton
St. James Church – Sharbot Lake
Smallest Jailhouse – Tweed
Cemetery – Battersea
Grist Mill – Denbigh
Once you’ve got all of the information you need, call 800-840-4445, and they’ll supply you with the coordinates for where you can pick up the binoculars. Last year they could be picked up at the tourist office in Kaladar during regular office hours, I imagine it’s the same deal this year. You may want to call that number first to make sure they’ve got some binoculars left before you head out on the trek.
Have fun, and be sure to post your trek adventures here.
