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 road. This cache is on the Ferguson Road, nearly 1 km from the Hanwell Road , I found a nice birch tree close to the side of the road. The surrounding Fir trees provide a spruced-up natural camoflouge. This one is a cammo'd small mayo container attached directly to the tree. You can remove the cover without pulling the jar from where it is attached. Thanks for visiting this area and good luck geocaching.
Please note: Cache was placed during the winter. Once snow is gone there is usually enough water in the ditch that boots are a must. Also, ditch is steep.It is a residential neighbourhood.
