Catamount and Adair’s Nature Trail

Last Tuesday, myself, Markirene, Incepit and Jim52 went out to spend a day hiking and caching the southern most section of the Catamount Trail finding a bunch of Tetagoucher’s caches and doing the Adair’s Nature Trail, finding 8 Ma&Pa caches that did not require any logic. It really didn’t matter to me where went that day because if those 3 cachers hadn’t found them yet I certainly hadn’t found them already and being the junior cacher I decided to video tape the affair for the rest of us to see how the pros do it.

The trail itself has not been maintained in years according to Alonzo Leger, who is very active in the trail system in southern NB. The only way that we really knew that we were still on the trail was by following the blue blazes on the trees which are still quite visible but don’t expect to follow the beaten path because there ain’t none. Tetagoucher had mentioned to us a few nights before we went out that he left enough room between his caches for others to put out a few for him to find next time he is out. I forgot to bring some small or regular caches but I did have 4 micros so I hid them and the other 3 are still waiting for the FTF to get them before they log them. If you watch the video you will see 2 of them and another hiding spot.

In the video you will see the bushwhacking  that we did, about 10km of it and if you see a trail on the ground that is the Adairs section which is a little over 3 km long and there is a way to get to the road at the end if you walk a little further and cross over an old beaver dam. I hope you enjoy the short video and Zor edited it and picked the music, which you have to be careful with because of copyright problems. I am not a professional videographer and only have a basic camera so don’t expect anything award winning.
