Geocache Description:

This cache is entirely accessible via paved roads, but like many of the roads in the BVIs, many of them are very steep. 4WD is not required to reach this location, but it's not a bad idea and at least one of the roads on the official National Parks map is designated '4WD access only' (although we went on that road and found we didn't need it).

Throughout the Caribbean, sugar mills - large, tapering circular structures robustly constructed of stone - proudly stand as relics of a time gone by. Mt. Healthy is the only remaining sugar mill in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and is therefore of significant historic importance. Mt. Healthy was declared a National Park in 1983 and is sited on 0.90 acres. It is a well-preserved example of the type of mill that was used in the BVI in the 18th century.

Pick up a Mt. Healthy information brochure from a tourist information office or a hotel/inn. You will definitely need a vehicle to get you to the site; 4WD is not strictly necessary but is probably a good idea, especially if there has been any recent rain.

At the park is a sign giving historical information about the site. There are nine sections in the text on the sign. In order to log this cache, send an e-mail to WascoZooKeeper listing the TITLES of the nine sections. You do not need to wait for a response before logging the cache.

Swimmers RULE! Violas ROCK!
