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 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 of a few reasons. First of all is the spectacular giant cedar down the trail, GC2X5FD. This hydro station is generated from canoe creek and is putting hydro onto the grid. The best reason is back in the early 60's a man had a tire shop here to repair all the flats that people got driving to the west coast on a very bad logging road. He ran the shop for a few years until his wife was killed in an accident on this road then he closed up shop and moved away.

Congratulations to Team Pawz and DIOS on the FTF
