Geocache Description:

Another Cape Slit Adventure

We all love a good hike and few areas reward you more at the end than Cape Split. If you have had the fortune of hiking it in the past you may have wondered how it would be possible to get down to the bottom. As it so happens there is a path that leads to a beach cove that is near the point but please be careful. As you follow the main path to the end you will come upon a path the leads across the cape, this is the quickest way to the cache but you could just go to the end and follow the path that wraps around the end and follow it back. Eventually you will come to a descent where a rope has been placed to aid you, please put your gps in your pack and use this rope for your own safety. You will then come to another set of ropes that lead down a steep path, this path is also a stream at times and is usually wet so please again use this rope! Now you will have made it to the bottom and even at high tide the cache will be accessible. This beach is often used as a camping area and unfortunately many of the campers do not use trash out practices. If you have timed your hike to arrive here at low tide you could venture down to have a peek at the cape from this vantage point. Now you may be asking yourself is it possible to hike down to the end from here? The answer is yes, but even if you time the tides so you arrive on a falling tide you may have at best 3 hours or so to make a nearly 1 km hike along slippery large rocks that more than half of the time are under the ocean! So please for my piece of mind do not go to the point from here!
The cache is an ammo can with log book and pencil and various trade items.
