Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Baden Powell Geocache Challenge #3

This is a demanding series (five over five star for the final multi-cache #11) of caches that span most of the Baden Powell Trail starting at Deep Cove and running westward to the end of the BP Trail where the new highway is being built.

There is a website that is dedicated to the caches and includes hints, photos, spoilers and links to the other caches in the series.

There is also a nice twist to this series because some of the caches hold hints to a BP Challenge multi cache (GC1BQ6A).

If you do this cache in the winter (October 1st through April 29th) there is parking near one of the trailheads. If not then you will have to use one of the other trailheads and hike in a bit to get to the bridge (see google map link in the support website).

After crossing the bridge (nice photo opportunity) it's all up hill. You will be huffing and puffing when you get to the cache so bring water and a snack. This is a relatively short hike so you should be at the cache within 15 minutes. If you feel extra energetic you can come at this cache from the Lynne Valley side and make it a 1 hour hike to the cache. The cache is a medium sized Lock-and-Lock with lots of camouflage so you will have to have a keen eye to see it.
