Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Baden Powell Geocache Challenge #6

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).

This is a large cache made from a discarded Olive container that I spotted when I was passing a greek restaurant unloading there old containers. It is green and red-brown so blends well with moss and rotten wood.

I recommend parking at Cleveland Dam parking lot and hiking up about 15 minutes to this cache. It's a wonderful spot and can be enjoyed all year round. After crossing the dam keep going uphill following the path on your right and continue up this wide access road till you see the baden Powell trailhead maker about 2 hundred meters up and around a bend on your left. A quick hike and hopefully a nice resting spot after you grab the cache. The GPS is a bit spotty up there so expect about a 10 meter area to search.
