Camosun Bog.

Easy walk, in an enviromentally sensitive area. I would say it is wheelchair accessible. I have converted this to a virtual cache as too many people were leaving the boardwalk. Please stay on the boardwalk the area is enviromentally sensitive.

The cache has been removed. However, I would highly recommend a visit to this unique area.

Original contents; First Finder certification card, compass, Carabiner, Log Book, Captain No Beard Lucky Dubloon #8, Stashnote, two Keno Pencils.

Please obey the well posted rules. 1. Stay on the board walk (You don't need to leave it to reach the cache). 2. Dogs must be leashed.

"Camosun Bog is a unique feature of Pacific Spirit Park, and of the Vancouver landscape. The bog has attracted worldwide attention through the efforts of well-known naturalist, David Bellamy, who led a tour through the bog in 1996. Today, a small, dedicated band of volunteers works to develop a sustainable bog ecosystem that has been threatened by human interference in the past." Quoted from: http://www.catchingthespirit.com/park.html

There are work parties here every Saturday morning between 9AM - noon. At 10AM they run an orientation for new volunteers. Expect people in the area.
