So, you're asking me to find a micro in a log jam? Ugh.
Don't worry, I'm going to give you a really specific hint on which log in the jam you need to look for (see hint). But that is only half the battle. You are looking for a camoed bison tube attached to a log, which here might be a lot like looking for a needle in a haystack. But hey, there are a lot worse places to spend some time looking for a cache than this beautiful stretch of sand.
On a sunny day, you can see Lasqueti Island across the Straight of Georgia (Salish Sea). To the east you can see the tall trees of Rathtrevor Park, and to the west you can see the far side of Parksville Bay. You can take in the sound of the waves, the birds, and the fresh ocean breeze.
The Geocaching map shows this cache with wet feet (in the water) but the location is well above the high tide line. Moreover, I'm optimistic that this one is anchored well enough that it would ride out any storm surge that may come all the way up here.
Thank you to all the Parksville/Qualicum cachers who have contributed to the caching adventures that I have when I am out visiting. I hope this helps repay the favour.
Now back to finding that pesky micro....
Note on Cache Maintenance: Team_gee has graciously volunteered to address any urgent maintenance issues, although I am in Parksville frequently enough that I should be able to address any major concerns that arise.
