An easy, almost drive up, cache offering nice views of the river valley with a bit of a twist to actually sign the log.
This cache should not be too hard too find but it is camoed. If you bear this in mind it shouldn't stump you.
The twist is that the log book is inside a small wooden box. To claim credit for the cache you have to figure out how to open the box. It can be opened by manipulating it's parts. Please do not use excessive force, pry, disassemble or smash the container in frustration. I suggest taking it up the hill to the nice bench located nearby under the spruce trees and working on it there; that way it should draw less attention to the cache site by potential mugglers. If you can't get it open E-mail me and I'll give you a hint.
The box is actually a design of my grandfather, whom I actually never knew as we came to canada when I was very young. He used to enjoy making wooden puzzles and this is one of his designs but made by an old country cousin.
Since so many cachers end up not being able to close the box I'll write instructions for opening and closing the box at the back of the log book (in the usual code of course!)
April 22, 09 update: The cache camo is starting to show it's age, please treat it carefully. You only need to remove the lid from the camo not move the entire container!
