The Lighthouse is a great cache, the trick is retrieving it without being
spotted.
Now, for a spot to hide a cache look at the City of Kingston's website for
their Parks Map. I have used this to find spots to hide a cache.
I track all caches I have hit on Microsoft Streets & Trips and can send a
picture of Kingston showing where caches are, using this I see some MAJOR
holes with city parks all over that have no caches in them.
On another note, what about hiding a cache in Cataraqui Cemetery, lots of
history in there and I am sure a cache could be hidden in a quiet area.
There is a Prime Minister buried there and a few other notables.
