This cache is one of the Dirty Dave Series. Dave hopes you will be able to find 29 caches on February 29. They are easy, involve only short walks, and have parking nearby. Dave doesn't believe in micros. Have fun. Join Dave later for his event dinner at which time he will announce the last cache in the series, a night cache.
This information about the Pacific Madrona Tree was copied from Wikipedia.
Arbutus menziesii, commonly known as the Pacific Madrone, is a species of Arbutus found on the west coast of North America, from British Columbia (chiefly Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands) to California (mainly in Puget Sound, the Oregon Coast Range and California Coast Ranges but also scattered on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains). It is rare south of Santa Barbara County, with isolated stands south to Palomar Mountain, San Diego County and northern Baja California, Mexico. It is also known as the Madroño, Madroña, Bearberry, Refrigerator Tree or Strawberry Tree. In British Columbia it is simply referred to as Arbutus. Its species name was given it in honour of the Scots naturalist Archibald Menzies who noted it during George Vancouver's voyage of exploration.
