Geocache Description:


Disclaimer By using the data contained within you assume all risks and liability for your own safety as described in our terms of use.


The cache is not located exactly at the given location. Due to high & low tides changing the river elevation, typical peek river flow during spring run-off and other mysterious factors the cache location may vary between 0 and 1640 fathoms away from the posted coordinates.

Douglas Island Tunnel, South Entrance


This is the Surrey Side of the Douglas Island Tunnel. Information about this tunnel can be found on the cache page for the north entrance Douglas Tunnel by Joseph Williamson.

Unfortunately this end of the tunnel has suffered. Because of development and the construction of the rail yard has shifted the shoreline over the last 100 years.

I used a small personal floatation device to place a floating buoy over the tunnel entrance just off shore. You will have to cross private rail Lands (watch out for the guard dogs), crawl across some log booms as well as avoid the discarded fishing lines, nets and hooks to get to the cache location.

Note: This cache is not for the faint of heart. I had to come to terms with my own mortality when I somehow ended up between a tug boat and the barge it was pulling! That fishing wader I was in does not move too fast!

Once you arrive at the buoy, you can pull up the cache container and sign the log.
