Geocache Description:

This is a reguler sized lock&lock with a FTF prize and tradable items. I hope you enjoy the series. This is a drive up or you can park at N 49 17.029 W 125 00.825

This series was placed to tell the history, show the beauty, as well as to break up the trip along Highway 4 going to the West Coast. All of the caches are placed on the right hand side of the road, so you do not have to cross the highway, as you head west towards Tofino/Ucluelet. The caches are well off the road and there are safe pullouts at each location. Please give drivers behind you plenty of notice when you are getting close to turning off the highway. There is also plenty of visibility for when you are pulling back out on the road. The entire road to the West Coast is bear and cougar country so please by vigilant.


I chose this spot because this is where the old highway turned of to the right and started it's switch backs up to the top of the bridge. The road to the top of the ridge is no longer passable in anything other then a quad or dirt bike due to a wash out. There is another cache up along this road, GC1HPGZ that is worth the hike, about 1 hour, or drive with a 4x4 with normal clearance.

Congratulations to Team Pawz and DIOS on the FTF
