This cache is hidden in an old decommissioned rest area near
Alexandra Bridge. In years past, this was one of our favourite
places to stop, set well back off the road and with nice big
individual picnic areas. I don't know for sure, but it almost
appeared that it may have been a campsite. I don't ever recall it
being anything other than a picnic spot though.
The gps reception can be quite poor in the area. The best we
could achieve was a 9m accuracy with a high-sensitivity receiver,
so I'll provide a bit of help.
There is a pullout for northbound traffic across from the
existing Alexandra Bridge Rest Area. From this pullout, you should
see the old rest area road behind a row of big cement barricades.
Travelling approx. 100m in a southerly direction from these
barricades ,the cache will be about 1m off the east side of the
road before you get to the fork in the road. Cache container is a
50mm ammo can and is hidden at ground level near the base of a
young fir tree. Please post the coordinates where you find the
cache in your log entry. I'll update my coords if they are
consistently off.
Congratulations to Teddy2k on the FTF!
