Byrne Creek #4 - Revive Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

katcogo: I have thought about this long and hard and regrettably have decided to archive this series. Big thanks to Nezgar and Vana for creating this amazing series along Byrne Creek and for allowing me to adopt them when they moved to Saskatchewan. This particular cache was the most challenging to maintain as it spends quite some time under water at the mercy of the strong currents of the mighty Fraser. It has been washed away more than once. At one point it was found several kms upstream and returned to me, one of my fondest geocaching stories. Thanks to all who sought out the series, I hope you learned something about this waterway in Burnaby.

Geocache Description:

This cache is a green decon container. Please be sure to close the lid very tightly and make sure it is replaced as found!

The Byrne Creek enters the Fraser River at this location. You may have to get your feet wet if visiting at high tide.

At a tide of 14 feet, we have found the site to be inaccessible - try for it at your own risk. At a tide of 12 feet we have been able to access the cache in the past. A tide table can be found at (visit link)

This cache is in Foreshore Park, which is a great place for a picnic or for taking the dog for a run. There are many other caches to check out in the park and nearby.

The Byrne Creek Watershed includes the Burnaby South Slope area from Sussex to 10th Ave. and from Kingsway to the Fraser River. Byrne Creek originates in storm drains near Kingsway and Edmonds. It emerges just east of the Edmonds Skytrain Station and flows south through a steep, densely vegetated ravine to Marine Drive and Byrne Road. At Marine Drive, the creek enters an artificial spawning and rearing habitat. It then flows through a lowland dyked channel to the Fraser River. (From Byrne Creek Streamkeepers (visit link) ).
