This is an easy walk from parking spots located on the road that runs along the trail which follows the river.

This cache is in a small round container painted black. It contains a log book and pencil along with a $2 certificate for Tim Hortons for the first finder. You will need if after being out in this weather. It really bugged me when the first By the Riverside went missing especially since I had just replaced the original container with an Ammo Box. So I filled this one with Bugs, but not to worry, they are the friendly kind. Take one and leave it in another cache in the area. I would love to find one of my bugs in another cache. No need to leave a trade item. When the bugs are all gone I will fill up the container with some more.

[Found this one quite easily. Quite by surprise as well, as it would appear to have been almost-stolen by some punk kids. As I was walking to the cache, I went across a tree-house looking kid's hangout type thing. I thought to myself "Man, it's supposed to be like... 15 meters from here. Surprised it hasn't been stolen that close to anywhere kids go (as far as I'm concerned, all children are basically just vandals. Never trusted a single one, and I have yet to be given a reason to)". So it turns out... I was correct. Get to the cache location. Fairly obvious where the cache is SUPPOSED to be. Container's open lying on the ground, lid off of it, lying a few feet beside it. Not a single thing left in it except for the logbook by some miracle. Soaking wet like there's no tomorrow though. Tried to dry it out as best I can, but didn't really have anything with me. Also was running low on time at the moment, so I didn't have time to let it sit in the sun for a while.
Anyhoo... thanks to having a pressurized pen, I was able to sign the logbook regardless, and left a chainmail ball inside of it, so it at least has SOME kind of swag for the next person. Thanks however to the nature of what I can assume was the original location, I was able to] mostly-bury it in the loose soil gathered in that hole there. It should be there, just look for the bark. It's under that. [So yeah... might need another maintenance visit, and maybe a slightly different hiding place, since said thieves obviously know of it's location now. It SHOULD remain hidden for now, given the encrypted text above, but yeah... cache owner might want to relocate slightly.
Took: Nothing (surprise).
Left: Logbook entry and chainmail ball (see profile).]
