Diamond Willow: My daughter (and 3 year-old Sofie) went to see if the cache was there, and it is gone, for sure. So, I'm sorry to have to archive this cache.

Geocache Description:

This cache is placed to commemorate the birth of my first granddaughter, Sofie. She was born on November 4, 2005 in Tokushima, Japan. I arrived in Tokushima just 8 hours after she was born, and am lucky enough to have been able to spend a month in Tokushima getting to know her. Sofie, this is for you and your family!

The cache container is a purple water bottle. It is stuffed with lots of Canadian items including some signature items that I was hanging on to: a Scottie keychain from Scottie, an Inukshuk from the Kootenayites, a pirate token from the Kootenay Pirates, a pin from Moun10bike, a smashed penny from ARCS, an Oregon Geocoin and many other interesting items.

The cache is close to the Tokushima JR Train Station in downtown Tokushima. It is in Central Park (Chuo Koen), which is a big beautiful park with lots to see. There are a lot of trees in the park, so I tried to find a spot for the cache that was secluded enough for privacy when searching, but didn't have a lot of tree cover.

There are a lot of stairs to climb to get to the cache, so strollers, bikes & wheelchairs are not suitable. It is only a few feet off the trail - no need to bushwack.

Small note on cache maintenance: My daughter lives & works close to the cache, and was with me when I placed it, so she will be able to check the cache for me when maintenance is necessary.
