This spot is significant for athletes biking or hiking across Canada as well as itinerant travelers on a journey towards the West.

The cache is in full public view, but camouflaged. There can be quite a bit of vehicle traffic passing by at times, but with patience you should be able to avoid a drive-by mugging. There's no need to venture into the water hazard! The cache is a small peanut butter jar with an “Official GeoCaching” label. It has room for a few small trade items. It's winter friendly.

Please drive carefully and park off the road so you are not walking across the busy highway.

October 21, 2009 Update: Thus begins chapter 3 of one little caches life. It started out as "East Meets West" on the north side of the highway until it's hiding spot was run over. Chapter 2 began with a new name, "Road Kill", after crossing to the south side of the highway where it lived happily until construction began in the summer of 2009 and home #2 was bull dozed. Now with it's original home rebuilt, the friendly little cache is back by the west bound lanes again with new name "There and Back Again". It's still the same original container but has a new log book as the last one was just about full.

March 29, 2007 Update: This cache tells a tale of survival that's sure to inspire any other caches that find themselves at the wrong end of a plough. First it was whacked by the wing of a snow clearing road grader and buried under a wave of snow. Within 24 hours the snowmobile trail grooming machine came by and laid down a highway right over the cache. For two months a multitude of snowmobiles rocketed over the cache. When the snows began to melt in the spring, an ATV came by and kicked the cache out of its winter resting place when it ran over it. I spotted the cache lying in the sun and retrieved it. By evening of the same day the rapidly rising melt water was lapping where the cache had wintered. The cache was unscathed with its contents still clean and dry! The cache's original home was no more though, so it crossed the highway to experience life moving from West to East. The name change seemed appropriate, but inside it's still the “East Meets West” cache.
