Geocache Description:

An iconic area of West Vancouver, this cache was placed here to encourage students to be active outside of school hours. Inspired by several themed-series on the North Shore, this cache has been hidden by Sentinel staff and is the 1st in a series based on the Marvel superhero group, The Avengers.


Clint Barton is the bow-wielding hero known as Hawkeye. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck, the character first appeared as a villain in Tales of Suspense #57 (Sept. 1964) and later joined the Avengers in Avengers #16 (May 1965). He has been a prominent member of the team ever since.         

Clint Barton ran away at a young age to join the travelling carnival and relentlessly trained to master his archery skills. Clint adapted his archery skills to become a star carnival attraction, a master archer called "Hawkeye", otherwise known as “The World’s Greatest Marksman”. While travelling to New York, he witnessed Iron Man in action and was inspired to become a costumed hero. However, after a misunderstanding on his first outing, Hawkeye was believed to be a criminal. After an encounter where an individual for whom he cared was seriously injured, Hawkeye decided to be a "straight-shooter". Hawkeye ended up rescuing the Avengers’ butler Jarvis from a mugger and was invited to Avengers Mansion. Under the guidance of Iron Man and the leadership of Captain America, Hawkeye over time gained the trust of the Avengers and became a full member of the group.

For a brief period of time, Clint Barton shed his Hawkeye identity and became the second Goliath in Avengers #63 (April 1969) when his bow broke during a crucial moment in a battle and he decided to adopt a new costume and identity by succeeding Hank Pym as the new Goliath.

This cache is a small, well-camouflaged (!) bison tube filled with just the log book. It is located slightly into the treeline/bushes but NO BUSHWACKING REQUIRED. Please replace it in its stand.
