Skookum Bear: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if it was missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within a reasonable amount of time, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities. If the cache owner would like to replace a cache at this location, please submit a new geocache listing and it will be reviewed under the current Geocaching guidelines.

Geocache Description:

An easily located micro contained in a camouflaged bison tube. No bush bashing required. The Cache is not inside a tree but rather in a camouflaged container on the ground beside a tree. Contains just a log sheet with no room for swag or trackables so please bring your own pen. Watch out for nearby muggles especially during the picnic season! Thanks for hiding it again after your visit.  Enjoy!!!

Update: 31 May 2013: Replaced the muggled cache and updated the coordinates to a new nearby hiding place about 15m East of the original ground zero in a more concealed spot. This micro was placed on the 2013 Victoria Day Weekend. This area is one of the great recreational areas in the City of Vancouver and one of the SAY Explorers favourite places to spend a day. Great beaches and picnic areas can be found to the North of the Cache.  A softball diamond to the South and soccer fields to the East.  The whole area was once a military base and a plaque located at the front of the hostel to the South East gives a concise history of the area.

The Cache is named for Queen Victoria, the monarch whose birthday is the origin of the holiday we celebrate the weekend the Cache was hidden
Queen Victoria

and for the iconic Red Cedar Trees found in abundance in the Ground Zero area.

I hope everyone who locates our little cache gets as much enjoyment out of finding it as we did placing it. Take some time to enjoy the area and share a picture if you can!  

Cheers,

SAY Explorers
