Birds of a feather... Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cache-tech: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache.
When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link (Mine) across the top and then click on this cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
Cache-tech

Geocache Description:

Sorry, but due to the ransacking of the cache, the cache needs to be restocked and reset, I will have it up and running again for the easter weekend.

The Courtenay Airpark is located within the town limits alongside a bird sanctuary, who ever said birds of a feather flock together were absolutely correct as birds and aircraft share the same sky. This is a popular spot for an evening walk so you may draw some attention so try to be quick. The above co-ordinates are actually for the airpark itself.
From the Parking lot N49.40.895, W124.59.062, read the airport information sign and note the aircraft runway headings. Make your way to N49.40.767, W124.58.632, from here you can see water navigation markers, pick the top marker for out flow traffic, this is your new direction. Now add the runway headings and pace out this number of steps, watch out for the thorny bushes (it's better to go around), and those last few steps, you are now very close, happy hunting!

If your having trouble use the encrypted hints below, it will walk you right to it.
