Geocache Description:

Easy walk along a rough trail about 100 feet off of gravel road. No climbing required as trail is level but not well travelled. This cache has historical significance dating back to 1939 and is quite an interesting find.

This is an easy hike from the Alliford Bay Ferry Landing, so no need to bring a vehicle if you are coming from the Skidegate Landing Ferry Terminal. Park or walk to coordinates N 53 12.363' W 131 59.012' This is an easy .8 kilometer walk from the Alliford Bay Ferry Landing. Then approach the cache from the above coordinates to avoid bushwacking and climbing up hillside. You will be surprised at what you find.

For those who know about and can add anecdotal information about the historical significance of the area, it would be greatly appreciated.
