Yep, you heard me right! Virgin territory in Vancouver! Unheard of! Not for geocachers though. It seems they have beat us to the punch and planted a large number of caches here but Buppsters and I were able to plant 9 letterboxes within the 300 acres and 4.3 miles of trails without coming too close to a geocache. So far there are letterboxes from Buppsters, Camp Fire Lady, Team Springamajack and Atomic Beans from Chicago Illinois planted here.

It is a very good idea to print out the trail map and where the appropriate clothing if you plan to search out the boxes we have planted here. It is possible to get yourself lost in this undeveloped area with no restroom facilities. The trails are mostly horse trails so thick mud after a rain is very likely as well as an overabundance of stinging nettle and blackberry brambles.
But overall this is a very beautiful pristine park with lots of cedar, maple, and Douglas Fir trees and lots of wildlife to view and enjoy.
Please be courteous of the many horses that use these trails and yeild the way for them to pass. Remember to stand off of the trail as far back as possible so you don't spook the horses.
Have fun and Happy Hunting!
