Geocache Description:

You’re looking for a small-ish camo’ed lock ‘n lock container placed near an unserviced trail that runs along the northeast shores of Wanisan Lake.

Zihuatanejo (pronounced “Zhey wah ten nay ho”) is the third in series of three caches placed in the theme of “The Shawshank Redemption", one of my favourite movies.

The three caches in the series are:

Shawshank Prison (GC1AJCP)
The Oak Tree at Buxton (GC1AJDT)
Zihuatanejo

Best parking is at N 53° 27.977 W 112° 54.121, which just happens to be the suggested parking for a couple of other great caches, (GC12X24) Blackfoot Back Door and (GC12X2K) Wanisan Point. These are the caches that introduced me to this "backdoor" parking spot, and the area in the first place.

In the movie, Zihuatanejo is the “little place” on the Pacific in Mexico where Red (played by Morgan Freeman) finally meets up with his friend Andy (played by Tim Robbins). Have fun finding the cache and take a moment to appreciate the lake nearby.
