canuck-bc: Hello Geocachers....

I am going to be archiving this geocache since it is being reported as being in bad shape and in need of replacement. I no longer live in the area and did give the responsibility to somoene else but now this person is also leaving the area.. Thus this cache will be archived .. but I will not recover the cache itself... If anyone wants to take over this cache please let me know

Geocache Description:

Embarkation point, for northbound travel bugs

I built and hid this cache specifically for travel bugs. I have found that travel bugs travel north until they get to one of the more obscure caches in the area and then stop there, seemingly forever. This cache is within easy walking distance of the "Prince Rupert" ferry. This ferry travels for 18 hours north almost to the Alaska border. So if you are in line for the ferry and have 20-30 minutes to kill this is the perfect activity. Also this cache is perfect for north bound (and for that matter southbound) travel bugs as mostly the traffic that goes by it is bound for Prince Rupert or south towards Victoria.. All travel bugs that are destined for Alaska should head towards this geocache.. The only items in this cache are a log book, a pencil and a pencil sharpener.., the container is a cylindrical green plastic water tight bottle that is 12 inches long and 4 inches diameter.. sufficient room for average travel bugs... The encrypted portion is a dead give-away as are the photo.. So if you want to find it on your own merit do not look at these. Good luck
