Geocache Description:

The cache is located on the slopes of Little Mountain near Parksville. Main access is via the old Alberni Hwy. Moderately to extremely steep in places, highly route dependent. Warning: There are unmarked and very dangerous large cliffs in this area(ie do not let children and pets run free), you do not have to climb them but you may walk near them.

Initial cache contents include: Plantmans Pet Rock, A Gnarly Dude, Cape Scott Shells, Hacky Sac, Batteries, Glow Stick, Butterfly thing, Candle, Matches, and Lighters.

The container is flat 30cm * 30cm * 10cm tupperware like container with a dark purple top. The container fits nicely into the rock crack.

There are multiple routes to this cache but all require some level of navigational skill. It is impossible or very difficult, depending on the route, to get to this cache by simply following the GPS. It is possible to get to the cache from the most obvious start location, but expect to do some route finding.

The Little Mountain area has some nice scenery but immediately below the cliffs is an area where people have dropped garbage and old cars down which detracts from the beauty of the area. One can quickly pass this area to get to the more scenic areas.
