Geocache Description:


A Chirp cache

NOTE: The cache is not at the co-ordinates above. To discover the co-ordinates of the cache, you will need a GPSr that is able to speak Chirp.

If you have never done a Chirp cache, start here. The Beacon is optimally placed for great reception, and the Final is not far off. Very forgiving.

Ogden Point was named after Peter Skene Ogden (1790–1854), who was a prominent trader and explorer for the Hudson's Bay Company. The piers at Ogden Point were built in the early 20th century by the city of Victoria in anticipation of a growth in shipping due the opening of the Panama Canal. In 1916 the US Hydrographic Office published a Coast Pilots guide that referred to the piers as the "Ocean Docks". That edition of Coast Pilots also mentioned that the breakwater south of Pier A was under construction in 1915 which was completed in 1916 and the piers were completed in 1918.
