Geocache Description:

A little traditional on a little rock a bit offshore from the Cat Co 2 beach on Cat Ba island

When you go to hunt this cache, you will come to a place called Cat Co 2 beach (at N 20° 43.179 E 107° 03.337), a very beautiful little piece of paradise, with a lovely sand beach and a few wooden bungalows, surrounded by green mountains. I really enjoyed coming here for a few days to chill out from the noisy and crowded city of Hanoi. The last time I came here was with BlackForest Lumberjack, who I also tribute to and thank for helping to place and list this cache...

Unfortunately, this peaceful spot is now endangered, and I am afraid it will not last much longer. Some investors plan to tear this all down and build a new five-star hotel-resort-whatever kind of place. Or, in the words of another regular visitor here: It´s all gonna be messed up…

The construction works have already started, with a road built in the back of the little resort. Therefore, we have included some pictures with a view from the cache-site onto the beach of Cat Co 2, in the state that it was in when we last saw it. We´d be happy, if you´d include a picture of the current state, when you go to hunt the cache, so the changes are made visible.

About the cache: Be aware of the four stars for the terrain, this hunt involves some swimming and climbing. All of which is on your own risk. And now, have fun with hunting and finding this cache. It´s the first one I´ve hidden, I hope you´ll like it.

Small note on cache maintenance: I'll be here regularly and frequently enough to perform any needed maintenance.
