Quarry Heights (MBGA Blitz) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Mustash: I visited Hecla Island yesterday and the cache is indeed gone. That is the second time in a year. So I will archive this listing.<br />

On the bright side, a little birdie told me there might be a new cache nearby in the future.  <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" />

Geocache Description:

Located near the Quarry picnic site on Hecla Island in Lake Winnipeg.

The Quarry picnic site is a rocky place. It faces eastward towards Black Island and overlooks the narrows between the south and north basins of Lake Winnipeg. The waves could be pounding or a gentle sun shining at any given hour. Expect anything.

This is not really a place for little ones on their own. Even the big ones need to pay close attention to where they are stepping. But it is an interesting place to explore.

There is an easy way, a moderate way and a hard way to get to this cache. But as the picture shows, there are some cliffs here that deserve respect.

Use the parking lot at the south end of the site above the Quarry. The walk should be less than 200 meters.

The cache has a volume of about 1 litre and is flat. Please replace the cache with the cammo'd side facing out. It started with a number of Hecla Island souvenirs and other small items. A logbook, pencils and a First To Find cerificate are included.
