Geocache Description:

This is a reguler sized lock&lock with a FTF prize and tradable items. I hope you enjoy the series.

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 viability 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 of a history reason as well as exploration. This was the spot where the Taylor River forest fires started back in the early 60's. There was a crew working, blasting some rocks away, and as a result of one of the blasts knocked down the nearby hydro lines. One of the sparks ignited the fire and away it went. You can still see the remnants of the fire on the hill sides today with all of the dead trees still standing. Some of the burnt trees and stumps are still laying on the ground. Congratulations to Team Pawz and DIOS on the FTF
