Geocache Description:

This is a tribute series to my old caching buddy King_Of_Sweden. Originally, we were planning to place a series of puzzles caches involving countries of the world. The plan was to hide them around Brohm Lake, just north of Squamish. Sadly, he passed away several months later. Now that I have relocated, I thought I would carry on with the series but hide it closer to my home. I miss you buddy. Hope you're having fun wherever you are. Cheers Francis.
