Geocache Description:

Cache is close to the "trailhead" for a nice long walk down to the Fraser River. The cache location can get a little soggy, so be prepared.

This used to be my favourite water bottle.




Bisphenol A, commonly abbreviated as BPA, is an organic compound with two phenol functional groups. It is a building block of several important plastics and plastic additives.

Suspected of being hazardous to humans since the 1930s, concerns about the use of bisphenol A in consumer products were regularly reported in the news media in 2008 after several governments issued reports questioning its safety, and some retailers have removed products made of it from their shelves. A 2010 report from the FDA raised further concerns regarding exposure of fetuses, infants, and young children.

Check your plastic water bottles, some type 3 and 7 plastics may leach BPA.
Most new water bottles no longer contain it.
