This cache has been archived.

Wizard of Ooze: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within the requested time period, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities.

If the cache owner would like to replace a cache at this location, please submit a new geocache listing and it will be reviewed under the current geocaching.com guidelines. Please don’t post a note on your archived listing as it won’t be forwarded to me and I won’t see it. If you need to contact me, please do so by emailing me through the contact link on my geocaching.com profile page or through my website www.wizardofooze.com

Thank you for your contributions to geocaching, and we hope to see you actively geocaching once again in the near future.

Geocache Description:

Birchwood Park, a small stand of forest in the midst of the city is the home to this cache. Path to the hide is a nice easy walk, but the last few metres are harder terrain, some fallen trees and exposed tree roots. Small children may need a helping hand for the last few metres to the hide. Please be careful not to damage the plant growth in the area.

The hide was named Spooky Hollow because of the nature of the forest. There are many fallen and uprooted tree trunks in the area. The exposed roots of these trees are often twisted and gnarly, making for some pretty interesting and even spooky looking shapes.

The cache is a small lock-and-lock box, with a log book and pens. There is room for some geocoins or a small travelbug. Everything is in ziploc bags, please re-seal well when you are done as the hide area can get damp.

Best approach is from Fraser Ave, with parking available along the roadway in front of an elementary school, trail head is almost directly across the street from the front doors of the school. Parking coords provided.

Watch out for muggles, the forest is bordered by a large townhouse complex, and there are often kids using the trails or hanging out in the woods, you'll see some evidence of them in the area. Please camouflage the hide as you found it to keep it from getting muggled.

This is our first hide, hopefully there are many more to come!
