Keats94: I hate to pull the plug on this one, but I won't be around Harrison for a while, so I am making the executive decision to archive this one. Stay tuned for another cache in the area in a better spot.

This cache is along the north side of the swimming pond facing Harrison Lake. It is hidden amongst the rocks near a salal bush. This container can fit travel bugs and geocoins comfortably. When you find the cache, sign the logbook and take a picture of you and the cache to put on the cache profile. Harrison Lake is a great place for photography as the scenery is quite stunning. I placed a dead twig/ branch on the site of the cache, please place the branch back
where you found it.
The cache is a clear lock & lock container, it is rectangle with a log book, a pen and a few trading items like a match book I found in the glove compartment of our car. The cache is great for trackable items, so please place some if you have some.
Harrison hosts “Harrisand,” it is a festival of sand sculptures in July or August. Admission is like 5 dollars.
Harrison lake is home of the most definitive Sasquatch sightings on earth, many first nations have painted pictographs of these large primates. For geographers, Harrison Lake is a great place to observe geographical history, such as the elevation of the lake, the lake is only 5 feet above sea level. Many other lakes can be much MUCH higher than that.
Long, Looooong ago, the lake used to be a salt water fiord, much like Indian Arm now. You can still see the tide line in some areas along the lake, seals have been spotted along the shores of this massive lake. That only suggests that to a certain extent, the Fraser Valley used to be submerged in ocean, as an inlet like Burrard Inlet, this would eventually connect to Harrison “Inlet” as a secondary arm of water.
Pitt Lake is a Tidal Lake, a very rare phenomenon. This can explain, as it is closer to the ocean, it too was a salt water fiord, it now remains only a tidal lake. Since this lake is closer to the ocean, it is still within the tidal grasp, the Pitt River is large enough to support the tides be flowing north, when the tides flow in, and south when the tides go out.
If you look at the lake, it looks a lot like Indian Arm or a coastal inlet, many large trees cover the lake area.
Good Luck and hope you learned something new.
