+brain21 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hi all, I was going to do my 999th find at GC1X7FQ "Mining Some Cold Hard Cache Too" and my 1000th at GC2B4 "Deer Bait" in Ontario sometime this week. I was wondering if anyone would like to join me? I hear it's recommended to do the "Mining Some Cold Hard Cache Too" one with someone else in case something happens. Anyone interested? Denis.

+Keith Watson Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 It is a fun cache to do, and not that difficult. I would recommend doing with another. From the parking, walk past the cache and look out for ropes that will help you get down. Plenty of root to grab hold of as well. Quote Link to comment
+res2100 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 You should do the mining cache for #1000. I did it 2 weeks ago and it was one of my all time favourites. Not hard to find, but a nice physical challenge to get to and some beautiful scenery on the way with the multiple waterfalls (depending on how to go down). Quote Link to comment
+emzernask Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) when were you planning on going? they are both on my list of 'to do' Edited May 4, 2010 by emzernask Quote Link to comment
+entogeek Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Count me in as well - especially if you want to do them this weekend. Every time I'm down that way both are on my list but I always run out of time. A trip to get both would be great. Quote Link to comment
+Flintstone5611 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Well I am also about to get my 1000th find and have to say that Deer Bait was awesome. We did it a few weeks back and we saw 18 deer all together in one of the valleys that we cut across between the dog leg of the trail to the cache. Hope you have as much fun as we did!

And then you can cool off in the waterfall grabbing Slip and Slide Falls "The final" Time to get wet! Quote Link to comment
+northernpenguin Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Deer Bait is an excellent cache, and a great hike. Bring your camera, and be prepared for a walk that's longer than it looks. I agree with some of the other posts in this thread though - Mining Some Cold Hard Cache Too will be much more memorable for you when you think back to the day you were at those caches. To get to Mining, you can use the ropes along portions of the trail, or if you overshoot the cache by 300M you will find it's a lot less steep. If there's any hint of rain on the day you are going, I would suggest the long route as the shale/mud is very slippery at the bottom of those rope sections - you will have a few tricky spots on the trail at the bottom though, particularly as you climb up and around Lower Decew Falls (where Slip'n'Slide is). You might want to grab visits on all the waymarks there if you're planning to visit the Quasy Challenge - Waymarking cache later. Don't forget to get your CachePort while you're in the Decew area.

+rovers3 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I found Deer Bait some time ago but need others in the area including the mining one. I'm free either Thursday or Friday so count me in and let me know your plans. Quote Link to comment
