The Friendly Giant? Hoo! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Wizard of Ooze: Hi,
Unfortunately, this cache has fallen victim to development. As the area is not available for public access, and won't be for some time to come, the cache will need to be archived to prevent cachers from attempting to access the area to find this obviously well-loved cache.

If the cache owner would like to replace the cache at another location, we'll be happy to take a look at your new cache listing.

Thanks for your understanding,
Wizard of Ooze, reviewer

Geocache Description:


The Oliver Woods Community Centre is one of Nanaimo’s newest recreation and leisure offerings. This 27,000 square foot facility consists of a twin gymnasium, multi-purpose/meeting rooms, children’s area, wellness/fitness space and a community police station. Construction of this facility targeted LEEDS Silver Certification for environmental and energy efficient performance.

The cache is located in the wooded area behind the community centre. While none have been constructed at the time of cache placement, a trail system through the woods has been promised. There are several access points to the cache area, including the Oliver Woods Community Centre. There are a number of underdeveloped paths through the woods that allow travel to the cache site with minimal bushwhacking.

There is no need to remove the cache from its hiding place. The log and the cache contents can be accessed by taking the plunge.

February 2009 UPDATE - Several gravel paths have now been established in the area. While these help getting near the cache, they won’t take you all the way. There are several established goat trails that allow access to the cache with very minimal, if any, bushwhacking.
