Geocache Description:

Blackie Bison was hiking the Juan de Fuca Trail and decided to hole up for the night. He was delighted to find a nearby lodging with a wonderfully resonant name... the Blackwood Hotel. Please be careful to put Blackie back into the same room as you found him in, as some of them go all the way down to the basement and he'll never find his way out again.

Getting good GPS reception in here can be tricky. We used two Garmin Oregons to get 15 minute averaged waypoints, and then took the midpoint as the published coordinates. The individual coordinates were N48 27.575 W124 12.162 and N48 27.570 W124 12.160, but you shouldn't have any trouble spotting the Blackwood Hotel.

Congratulations to sole seeker and ljg-47 for FTF!
