Cotton Tower Signal Station Traditional Cache
CANDS37: S Checked on the cache. Unfortunately, the hiding place has almost completely disappeared, along with the cache itself. There doesn't seem to be an easy alternative hiding place to place a new container. So its time to say goodbye to this cache. Thanks to everybody who made the effort to come and find this cache.

Cotton Tower Signal Station, located in the parish of St. Joseph.
Cotton Tower is one of a series of six signal stations built in the early 1800's. These stations carried news across the island using flags and lantern codes. They were used to warn of approaching ships, cane fires and also slave rebellions on the island.
Cotton Tower was one of the links in the chain of signal stations, passing signals between the other five signal stations - Highgate and Gun Hill (to the South), Moncrieffe (in the East), Dover Fort and Grenade Hall (in the North). Of these, only the signal stations at Grenade Hall and Gun Hill remain.
Cotton Tower signal station was restored by the Barbados National Trust.
The cache is a 35mm film cannister. Contains a badge for the FTF. Please replace the cache exactly as you found it.
As with many caches on the island that are not in the centre of towns, this cache is best done during the daytime, when it is relatively safe.
Cache maintenance will be carried out a relative who lives locally.
