IMPORTANT NOTES

- DO NOT leave food or trackables in the container. It attracts wildlife and is forbidden in all of Canadas National Parks. Or would you want to meet the cannibalistic grizzly while logging?

- DO NOT attempt to reach the cache when the water level is high.

- DO NOT attract the attention of (geo-)muggles. This includes placing the container exactly as before.

- DO follow all the usual geocaching etiquette.

- DO report unusual occurrences. Leave a "write note" log or contact "swissbox@protonmail.ch". We appreciate your feedback.
