Beware of the Roses Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

elsa_baby: Small rocks have tumbled down the retaining wall and filled the small crevices near the bottom, including the one where the cache lay. The cache had a good run, but it's time to archive it.

Geocache Description:


Description

This cache is in a once rural part of Abbotsford that’s gradually becoming more and more urban.  The area is rolling with mixed farming north of GZ, to the end of Mt. Lehman Road.  If you have time, drive about 6.5 km north to the end of the road and you’ll be rewarded with some beautiful views, especially if it’s a clear day.

Mt. Lehman Road is a very busy, 3-lane road at GZ, and has no street parking.  However, a bit south, Heritage Drive has street parking (N 49˚ 4.084   W 122 22.861) and a little further south is a small strip mall at 3550 Mt. Lehman (N 49˚ 4.984   W 122 22.861), where you could park for the time it takes to find the cache.  Between the two is Dave Kandal School’s permanently gated and locked driveway, but I’m not sure how kindly authorities would take to your parking there.

The cache is on the same side of Mt. Lehman Road as the above-named parking and you’ll safely walk on sidewalk.  You’re looking for a small camo Lock n’ Lock.  The new cache contains a log book, a few treasures, and an FTF coin.

There’s always trash between the sidewalk and the street’s retaining walls and fences; please replace cache so it won’t find its way into a landfill when cleaners come along.

Some stealth is necessary.  BYOP

July 5, 2018 note: I'm adding this note to protect the roses. Today I returned the cache to it's original hiding place, out of sight to the casual passerby but visible to the cacher when positioned on the sidewalk. Please return as found.

Congratulations, MulderClan, on your FTF not more than about one hour after the cache was published.
