Geocache Description:

Since the (old) Zippy's Tub cache has been found and reactivated, the name of this cache has been changed. However, the location remains the same although the coordinates on this page have been changed to the actual cache location.

There are fantastic views of the ocean and east end of the island. There are old WW II bunkers to explore and if you come between November and April, be sure to keep an eye out for whales. There are also a couple of other caches and several benchmarks in the area so come and make a day of it.

The walk to the cache is mostly on an old paved road which is steep in some locations but is a fairly easy hike of about 2.5 miles round trip. It is usually hot so bring plenty of water, a hat and sunscreen.

The direct route from the road to the cache is not the best approach. Doing so will lead you through leg tearing thickets of brush. There are easier, but slightly longer, ways to get there.
