Geocache Description:


WELL FOLKS, IT LOOKS LIKE ZOOMZOOM BEAT GOLDGURU TO "A VICTIM OF HER CHARMS" - SO WHO'LL WIN THIS ROUND?

THESE HIGH MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE CACHES GENERALLY REQUIRE FWD VEHICLES. THERE ARE OFTEN HIGH 'BERMS' ON THESE ROADS, WHICH CAN 'HANG UP' THE UNINITIATED. OLD 'PROS' LIKE GOLDGURU TAKE ALL THIS IN THEIR STRIDE! YOU BETTER CHECK OUT GOLDGURU'S CACHE "BUBBA...I AM CANADIAN" WHEN YOU'RE IN THE AREA. REMEMBER....WATCH THOSE GATES! IT'S EASY TO GO THROUGH AN OPEN GATE ONLY TO RETURN AND FIND IT LOCKED! TEAM KFWB GPS SUGGESTS YOU CARRY A SATELLITE PHONE, AS MANY REMOTE AREAS ARE BEYOND CELLULAR RANGE; THOUGH SOMETIMES ON A CEL YOU CAN LOCK ONTO A WASHINGTON STATE CEL SITE.

THIS CACHE IS BURIED INSIDE AN OLD BLEACHED OUT STUMP.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THE LID OF THIS CACHE IS PROPERLY RESEALED AND REHIDE IT THE WAY YOU FOUND IT!

In order to keep quality items in caches, please state what you removed from the cache and what you put into it when you log it on our cache page.

Presume all compass bearings are TRUE. USE 19 DEG. EAST DECLINATION.

Please note: 19 deg. East declination is only applicable on a small portion of Vancouver Island, as declination varies with distance, and is constantly changing as the magnetic pole is constantly drifting.

So, in most cases, “TRUE” North wouldn’t really be “TRUE”, as it would vary depending on location. However if we all use 19 deg. declination, then we will all be looking at the same thing.

Make sure you are well away from metal objects, when using any compass. At least 20 meters from a car and one half a meter from a wrist watch.

Cheap compasses won’t ‘cut’ it. You need to see individual degrees.

This is about all you can expect from a compass!
