Geocache Description:

You will need paper and pencil, math to be done on site. You will be on a short tour of Twigg/Mitchell Island.

Roads busy on weekdays best to do on weekend or evenings


Start at the above Coordinates For "Stage 1"

In the 1950s east of Stage2 the Fraser Street Bridge crossed the Fraser River. On Sundays my family used to get in our 47 Ford and head for Point Roberts Wa. We would cross the Fraser Bridge then head down #5 road to the Ladner Ferry. The Ferry would take us to Ladner then we head on down to Point Roberts.

My Dad paid $500. for the 47 Ford. To get the money for the car he sold the lot next to our house for $500. The land value for that lot is now $822,000.
