The cache is a regular size camo lock box.

I could not find Official information on the burl so i used Ai to help.  

The world's largest burl is a 30-ton Sitka spruce burl located in Port McNeill, British Columbia, which was discovered in 2005. It is approximately six meters tall and six meters in diameter and has been a significant community landmark and tourist attraction since its arrival in town. Recently, the burl was relocated to a more central downtown location to enhance community connection and visibility for tourists. 

  • Discovery and relocation: The burl was discovered in 2005 by loggers and moved to the Port McNeill waterfront park.The world's largest burl in Port McNeill, BC, was partially destroyed by a fire in May 2023, which caused extensive damage to the burl and its protective structure
  • Specifications: The burl weighs an estimated 30 tons and is roughly six meters tall and six meters in diameter. It was cut from a 525-year-old Sitka spruce.
  • Community significance: The burl is a source of great community pride and connects the town to its forestry roots. It is considered what puts Port McNeill on the map, along with salmon.
