Geocaching photos on a beautiful day in Mississauga

Is was an amazing day today for Geocaching and the trusty Triton 400 GPS was in rare form today helping with the adventure. The journey started with a visit to an old church and cemetery that had a tree that was grown through the fence. This cache was described as a "micro" on the geocaching.com website, but this description can mean many different containers. Once I found it I saw that this was one of the smaller caches of the "nano" size called a bison tube.

From here we went to another old cemetery known as Kindree Cemetery that is now a historical site with no grave stones. This cemetery remained forgotten until the late 1970's and once more until the early 1990's when the area was slated for development. All I saw was a single plaque in the middle with the statement "For all the Kindree children". This cache was another "nano" bison tube type container with only a log inside of it.

Next up were a couple quick caches only a short drive between them in two urban forests that are behind neighbourhoods all over the Mississauga, Ontario. One of the caches was hidden amongst large rocks not far from the trail were the muggles travel. The second one was attached to a stick hidden under wooden staircase that is part of the path.

For the next few caches the journey took us to the University of Toronto, Mississauga campus off of Mississauga Road, in Mississauga, Ontario. Notice the theme? This stop required some paid parking of $2 for 2 hours and plenty of proper forests to hike through. What you do notice as you work your way around this area is the large number of "Deer" signs everywhere. There were plenty of unaware muggles going about their business. There was also plenty of construction going on at the campus and several newer buildings with more modern architecture.

Although there were plenty of deer prints in the snow we were unable to spot any creatures today. We did find several Geocaches hidden on this university campus including one hidden by the Paleomagnetism laboratory and a couple others hidden amongst the small forests on the campus.

Last stop for the day was at a lovely active church and cemetery just a short drive from the previous stop. This church has beautiful architecture and an active cemetery that includes very old graves and relatively new graves. This cache was tactfully hidden on the perimeter of the graveyard in a tree stump just like many geocaches.
