Location is a 15 minute drive from Port Alberni on the Road to Bamfield. The area is well known to locals, is open and easy to access.
Over the past few years of geocaching and back road 4x4ing, we have become increasingly concerned about the amount of garbage that is being dropped in our outdoor areas, out of sight to most people. Yes some of this is garden refuse, which we feel can be dealt with differently, but the biggest shame is regular garbage which should be sent to our landfill. So we have decided to engage our geocaching community to become aware of the problem, show areas where this is a problem and encourage members to talk it up around the community to try and stop this practice. If you see anyone dropping off garbage, we encourage you to take note of vehicle info and report it to the Regional District Bylaw Officer. Secondly, it would be nice, while seeking out these caches, to maybe take a few items out with you. It doesn't have to be much, but every bit helps. If anyone is aware of any sites please let us know and we will put a cache there and publish it as part of our series. Just send along the Coordinates.
We in the Caching Community are responsible members, so our help can make a difference. We hope to do some media about this once we have a number of these caches identified.
This cache is a small lock and lock container with a small log book, pencil and some small tradeables. If you look over the view from the cache placement you will see lots of the garbage we are talking about.
