Geocache Description:

Eqpahak (formerly Savage Island) was the traditional meeting place for the area First Nation groups and is still used at times in this way. It is the northern most point where there is noticable tidal activity.

Be sure to tie your boat as water levels do flucuate unexpectedly

Eqpahak Island is famous for it's fiddleheads in early spring. I'll be placing a series of caches on the island in hopes that more people will go canoeing or kayaking to find them. Walking on the island is made more difficult by the huge growth of fiddlehead ferns in the summer. All the caches must be placed high up to avoid the spring floods.

This cache is named after two of our good friends Shelley and Toon Pronk, who were with us when we hid the cache.  Surprise: it is not hidden in a clump of trees.  Like most of the series the terrain rating is high because you need a boat of some kind to get there. Once you get to the Island they are about a two.

This Just about covers the island.  Hope you enjoy the river and the scenery..
