Geocache Description:

This cache was originally planned for the 3rd Annual Vancouver Island Hide & Go Cache.
A fluke proximity conflict and me having a really bad week foiled this one initially.
The good news is that I recently found a suitable alternative location to hide it in.


Well, this might be a far go but far be it from me to tell you which way to go.
Either way you go, Mount Wells Park always offers a great get-away from the grind.
The fresh air and the view from up here is what makes it all worth it.

The cache container is a 10"x10" (5-gal) bucket with a spray camo paint job.
It originally contained raw muffin batter from a certain Canadian coffee/donut icon.

GPS reception may get spotty at times depending on which way you go but near the cache site you should have no trouble getting a good signal. Position accuracy at the site was averaged to +/-1.5m so you should have no trouble zeroing in either.

Being a larger cache, I put some decent sized and quality geoswag in to start it off.
To keep the item quality up, bring some nice swag to trade in case you like something.

After you are done, take a moment to make sure the rehide looks as natural as possible.
Take the usual measures for any mountainous trail hike before embarking on the hunt.
It can take up to 2hrs and 6km worth of hiking to get to the cache and back depending on which way you go.
Avoid doing this in adverse weather conditions. Rain makes the trails slippery & dangerous. Respect the trails and signage to stay out of ecologically sensitive areas.

I hope you enjoy the brisk hike, the cache and the view from here...
