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. For this cache, which is not far from the Hanwell, I chose a group of three smaller birch trees growing together. You just have to forge the ditch, which is steep and wet once the snow is gone, and you're there. Waterproof boots are a must. The camouflage is made from birch bark so be gentle. You may be able to remove the cover without pulling the jar from its nest. The cache container is a small cammo'd mayonaise jar. Please put back the same as you found it. Thanks for visiting this area and good luck geocaching.
