Geocache Description:


The coordinates above aren't the cache location...this is a projection/offset cache....


This cache is located in a small urban greenspace that contains a wonderful piece of Surrey history. Unfortunately, it also appears to be an area often frequented by garbage wielding youth, so if you visit, maybe do a little CITO if possible.

First, head to the posted coordinates. They will lead you to a memorial plaque placed by the city to commemorate the identifcation/protection of The Heritage Tree - a gigantic Douglas Fir in the middle of suburbia - just off the main walking trail. From the plaque, walk about 40 meters at around 90 degrees and check it out - it should be hard to miss!! Once you've visited the tree, proceed about 60 meters at around 327 degrees (from the tree) to find the cache. It is a 350mL cammo Lock&Lock which originally contained: a logbook and pencil, a keychain measuring tape and some plastic bag closer things. Small trade items only.
