Liz and Bob's Canadian Cache!  

(The above coordinates are not the location of the cache!)

This cache is dedicated to friends of mine from Canada.  I met Liz and Bob through caching.  They had an idea for a cache and a location but did not have the time to place the cache before they headed back to Canada.  I agreed to hide it for them.  However, it only been months since they left.  I am just now getting the cache out for them.  I am sure they will forgive me.  

This cache is a camouflaged container that's the size of a coffee can.  It can handle travel bugs.  The first to find will receive a Canadian themed hat.  There also lots of trade items. Guess what?  They're Canadian!  

Congrats to digndirt for FTF!

Liz and Bob would like to dedicate this cache to all the Canadians that migrate towards the Myrtle Beach area.
