Geocache Description:


*Please Note* Signage says "Forest currently open to public on Sundays & holidays only, due to logging operations". but I've seen others & been in myself when work is done for the day- it seems, when the bottom gates at Abbey Caves Rd are shut & locked

We hope you enjoy a walk or cycle and the views, found along Forestry Loop Road 2. The cache is easily had from the roadside ( no scrambling needed)

The original container either got muggled or is buried beneath a slip, so I've had to move GZ slightly and change containers, hence the name change from Cracker to Quacker

Distance to cache is about equal, whether approached from the bottom gate at Abbey Caves Rd or from the top gate on Memorial Drive

I like starting from the bottom, making the return easy, fast & fun. The most direct approach is to use the straight Forestry road, but the MTB tracks are fun too

I did a fun loop and placed another cache today(9/6/12); you can view & upload the GPX here--> EveryTrail

In addition to your GPS, there are some nice new signs to aid you from getting lost.TrailMap

Contains pen, logbook & small trinkets on placement, with room for geocoins.
