Cache is located in Grand Beach Cottage area. It is just off one of the clearings overlooking the lake. This is an easy cache to get to for all ages.
This cache is placed in memory of my in-laws as well as my parents. The cache is off the opening my farther in law helped clear back in the railway days when the cottage area was just for tenting. He maintained that clearing up to his passing and was a favorite spot of his and his wife’s. After their passing, their children erected a memorial bench to commemorate what this area meant to them.
Back in the 30’s, my farther in law and his friends called their group the “Wahoo boys”. Apparently back then they were well know in the cottage area and were known to have the odd Keg shipped out on the “moonlight special”. The inscription on the memorial bench suggests they are all back together again. After his passing, we found a “Wahoo song” they had written which was sung to the tune of Home On the Range. In the cache you will find the opening verse on cards, which you are welcome to take. The meaning of “coming down” on the bench is in reference to my mother in law. After settling down the family she would sometimes enjoy a glass of wine with friends.
So after finding the cache, have a seat ,admire the view of the lake, and image the Wahoo boys trying to tap a key and the wives finally getting a brief chance to relax. AH, life at the beach.
In the cache, along with the Wahoo song cards there is a collection of trinkets to exchange.
