I’ve chosen a Letter Box Hybrid to represent “Harmony” as it seems to be an appropriate sentiment for this time of year (Christmas Eve) and it is truly an international ideal.
This letterbox hybrid cache, contained in an ammo box, is located at the North end of the Malahat Drive at the U-Turn area and exit for Mill Bay Road, Bamberton Road and Trowsse Drive. It contains the usual logbook, geocache info sheet, pencil, “Harmony” stamp and pad to ink the stamp, as well as a good variety of geo-swag and scratches for FTF ….Please TRADE FAIRLY. In the unlikely event there is rain, please use shelter to inspect the cache.

You may choose to find this cache by either using the coordinates above or by using the letterbox description below. A letterbox hybrid cache is a little different than a regular cache. Inside this cache you will find a customized rubber stamp plus pad to ink the stamp. Bring your own personalized caching stamp and leave an imprint of it with your log entry. Use the "Harmony" stamp to stamp your cache paper or letterbox stamp album or log if you like. Please REMEMBER that the RUBBER STAMP and INK PAD are NOT TRADE ITEMS and MUST STAY with the cache!
You may want to start the hunt at the parking pull-out near the underpass approx. coords of N48 36.583 W123 22.247 There are no manicured paths that would lead you close to the cache although bushwacking is a stretch.

If you are not using a GPS then use these directions: From the parking pull-out or the East end of the underpass: sight the nearest hydro pole. Confirmed by a red flower on the pole. The cache is visible from there and marked by orange flagging. Look along bearing 150 degrees at 22 meters
