We were on the island with a bunch of little kids and were traveling by foot, so this was the only box we attempted, and I was so glad to find it. I have always been a BNL fan, but didn't know this reference. Thank you!

Sorry for the cherry-picking, but it was hot! We enjoyed the haunted lighthouse and nice carve. :-)

We rented a quad and attempted these boxes. We managed the first two with no problems, but the heat of the day got the best of us and we had to quit. Thanks for a couple of great finds!

Second time's the charm! Still couldn't find The Flyer though. Thanks for the great series! It was a gorgeous day on the islands.

Found box 1 & 2, both in good condition and well hidden. The kids were too tired to finish the hike to Ward's Island after visiting Centreville, so we'll need to finish the series another day!

Spent 5 1/2 hours on the beautiful islands, found 6 fantastic boxes (this series plus Babe Ruth) and 3 fun geocaches). My memories of growing up in TO are the 'flying geese' at the new Eaton's Center. Driving past Honest Ed's at night with all it's funky lights. Riding the rickety Flyer when I was a young teen. Going to Maple Leaf Gardens to see Steve Martin. We were poor students so we got tickets way up near the roof. He did a dime trick "especially for the nose bleed section". Thanks Fiddleheads, I had a memorable time.

We had done the first 3 boxes back in May and finally got back to finish this series. Got there early and beat the mobs that hit the island later. It was perfect. We had the boardwalk to ourselves. Loved Honest Ed! And the youngest monkey had fun on the molecule! This was such a fun series!

Thanks to the way they run the ferry schedule in the evening, I did these in reverse order, which added to the challenge somewhat.

It was a beautiful summer day, which is exactly the right time to head over to the island. It has been a long time since I've been along the boardwalk so I was happy for a chance to head down that way. Loved the location, loved the stamps (especially Honest Ed) -- a perfect afternoon.
