I've noticed that Evergreens get all the attention. Everyone wants to hide their caches in them because they hold their needles year round. Birches are usually ignored. Although some of them can look pretty bad, you cannot beat a backdrop of beautiful white skinned birches for picture taking.
When I was young my father trucked pulpwood and sometimes spool wood. Spools for thread were made from birch trees. If you look around your house you may still be able to find one of these antiques, Notice how smooth the finished product turns out.
Well, I live on the Ferguson Road which, until now (2022) , has had no caches. In a effort to complete a task for WINCAT 2022 I have placed five kid friendly caches. All are at least four feet high. These should all be easy park and grabs. They are as close to the road as I could get them. This road is a dead end, so you only get some steady traffic as people are going to and from work. It is safe to pull over and park by the side of the roadway. Ditch is steep and usually has water lying in it once the snow is gone, so waterproof boots are a must. For my first cache, which is not far from the Hanwell, I chose a spot that is nearly in front of my home on the same side of the road. I borrowed an idea from a cache I found near the Grant-Harvey Centre. It is not exactly the same, but some of the features are the same. The camouflage is made from birch bark so be gentle. The cache container is a cammo'd pill bottle. Please put back the same as you found it. Thanks for visiting this area and good luck geocaching.
Congratulations to ranger170 for wading through the deep snow, fending off muggles and logging the FTF.
