Geocache Description:

This Cache is the thirteenth in the BC Spirit Quest - a series of caches dedicated to the Pioneers of BC. Each cache is hidden NEAR BUT NEVER IN a cemetery of historical significance. Much can be learned from visiting and showing respect to our predecessors. Feel free to post information found or photos (but not spoilers) of interesting stones or other features in the cemetery.

THE CEMETERY:

Seaview Cemetery is a large well maintained faculty owned and managed by the Sunshine Coast Regional District. Right on Hwy 101, it appears to date back to the early settlers on the Sunshine Coast. Oddly, the cemetery does not actually have a “Sea View” but is still very lovely A great place for a break and a walk while heading up the Sunshine Coast Hwy.

THE CACHE:

As you might expect, the cache is NOT at the posted coordinates (not out in the ocean) but it is within 5 km or less and within the general vicinity of Seaview Cemetery. Solve the puzzle to find the true location.

Use your brain to both solve the puzzle and locate the cache - it's not about checking 100's of spots and wandering all over looking for the cache. The cache is on government, not private property, and is not in the cemetery area itself. Be sure to replace the cache and recover it well. See hint.

THE SERIES:

Please do not use the BC Spirit Quest name without coordinating with us first to prevent confusion. Credit for the series idea to SixDogTeam, Half-Canadian and the other Spirit series hiders. Thank-you and enjoy the history.
