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.Safe to park by the side of the roadway. This is a dead-end road so there is not much traffic unless people are going to or coming home from work. It is a residential neighbourhood.

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, 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 cache is on the Ferguson Road, 1.5 km from the Hanwell Road , I found a stumpy bunch of birch trees close to the side of the road. This one is the furthest from the side of the road of all the series. Once you see it, you'll know. This time I used a medium size lock n lock container. It is cammo'd plus it has a birch bark barrier on either side of the container that is tucked in on its side. Once it snows, you'll have to brush the snow off as it is sitting on top of one of the higher stumps. There are trees in the mix also and everything is at least four feet high. Thanks for visiting this area and good luck geocaching.
