Geocache Description:

Come to the Captain Cook Monument overlooking Corner Brook and the Bay of Islands for the view, and a smile on your geocaching map.


Follow the National Historic Site "Beaver Logo" signs to Crow Hill, location of the Captain Cook Monument. Captain James Cook explored this area in 1768, and a magnificent statue of the explorer and a replica of his chart is found on the site.
The cache is hidden on the trails just past the monument. The cache was originally placed by "Blomidon" (Michael and Becky) and is currently maintained by ScoutrP and Cache the Bayman!. Many thanks to Blomidon for allowing us to adopt this cache (one of the first placed in this province) so we could both keep the original listing alive on the geocaching map, and an active, quality hide in place for geocachers visiting this area.
