Geocache Description:

A nice walk through Dawson Creek Park. The cache has a "travel" theme, so please trade appropriately (Geocoins and travel bugs are always welcome).

Be aware that the park closes at dusk.


This cache is an ammo box hidden inside Dawson Creek Park. The difficulty level is set at 1.5 stars because it can be a very busy location (particularly on weekends) and you may have trouble maintaining stealth. Also, the cache location is under tree cover that may prevent you from getting an accurate fix.

That being said, you do not have to leave the path to find the cache (in fact, you can retrieve it with both feet planted firmly on the pavement). It's in a location where neither the landscapers nor other aliens should stumble across it. Just have a seat and think about where you'd put it. (See the hint if you need more help; it's basically a dead give-away.)

Be sure to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy while you are here. You might also want to seek out the two other caches that are within walking distance from this one if you want to make it a three-fer.

Best parking is off of NE Dawson Creek Dr at N45 32.719 W122 55.907. If there's no room left, or you want a longer walk, try the dirt turnout off of NE Airport Rd near N45 32.290 W122 56.196.

Original cache contents are several travel magnets from places we've been, a few travel-related trinkets, some travel-themed greeting cards/art, foreign currency and a travel bug.
