Where is the best place to live and cache in Ontario

If you could live anywhere in Ontario, with reasonable cost of living, good weather and lots of caches where would you move to?

 

Murfster

Not sure exactly where it would be, but there would be no lampposts. As well, no store within a hundred miles would sell magnetic keyholders, empty film canisters, or nano containers. Only Rubbermaid, Tupperware, or ammo containers could be found to use for cache containers. No Era-Seal or (god forbid) that crappy Glad stuff.

 

I'd be happy moving just about anywhere these conditions are met. :huh:

I would stay right where I am. Although the weather is not that great here at times and I would not miss the really cold winters but I am not much of a mover (only done so twice in my life). And where I am is pretty central in southernwestern Ontario so I am not far to do a road trip for a good day of caching. And not far to go to central Ontario at all. Now if I could do it without having to go to work then that would top it all!

Echoing the emotions of my friend TrimblesTrek, I think that I live in a great area for caching. The Niagara Escarpment makes for some great hiking and caching, be it Niagara itself, all the way round to Halton.

 

I'm very happy to have such a great area for caching so close by. And lots of history here too... best of both worlds can be found Niagara but I agree that the "micronization" of caching here is not my style. But each to their own.

For cache density I think it would be the west side of the GTA...probably Burlington. Best place to cache for enjoyment factor...That would have to be anywhere. There are fun, great, adventurous caches everywhere. Even the drivebys can be enjoyable. Last night my wife and I walked 600m for a driveby cache, then we had to walk back to get a pen from the car. I think it's more than just the cache location\hide itself, but the entire experience one gets. One thing that really makes a cache awesome is when I find or experience something that was way beyond my expectation or something that I have never seen or experienced in life before.

Very interesting to read about the persons looking for 'greener' pastures on the other side of the fence. And, most seem to be headed closer to the 'big smoke'. The Mag, the Murf, Twisty, Sticky, Hilsrus, Partsman, Flip Flop, and others of us already know the best place to live and cache in Ontario. When you live and cache in 'heaven' - why would you consider any other place ?

The very best place is right outside your own door, in almost any direction.

Umm, YUP! Almaguin Highlands is 'the' in place to be. :blink: We have to have the absolute best D5/T1 cache around, and even the lamp in the woods is incredible. OK, snow up the wazzoo for 6 months per year, and rain for the other six months, but that makes up for not having to go out every 3 minutes for another FTF at all odd hours of the night.

Gananoque Ontario

 

Easy access to Kingston, Ottawa, New York State and the 1000 Islands.

 

Reasonable housing costs and the Casino is right around the corner.

 

Gets a little busy in tourist season, but very bearable.

 

You looking to retire somewhere here in Ontario Murfster?

My choice is the Niagara Region. I'm keep trying to persuade my wife into moving there, but with her years of seniority at the school board, she's really reluctant to budge from York Region... I keep trying though as I hate living here!

 

Nothing beats the Niagara Escarpment for a good hike in my books.
