Bird is the Word Island - ARC12 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MrARC: This cache was placed with the best of intentions, to honour a geocacher who guided me through my geocaching beginnings.

However, the various troubles that this cache has lived through has made me realize this is not a good long term cache location.

Today, being a nice day for a kayak outing on calm waters near the end of the boating season, I have retrieved the cache as promised in my log from 2 months ago.

Thanks to the geocachers who visited, both those who found Bird is the Word Island - ARC12 (especially the original hide) and those who didn't, for whatever reason.

Happy caching!

Geocache Description:


DO NOT force the cache open, please and replace ALL detachable pieces as found.
NE PAS forcer ouvert la cache, svp, et replacer le tout tel que vous l'avez trouvé.

This cache is placed in honour of Bird is the Word, a local geocacher I am privileged to know and call a friend. I thought about having this published for your 9,000th find, but you find so many, so quickly, that it would be impossible to coordinate. Wow.

All of the big West Island geocachers have islands named after them; it seems only appropriate that the person who was introduced to me as the "West Island's queen of geocaching" should have one too.
Now, you do.

We have had many amazing geocaching adventures together, and my last 10 months have been better for them. Thank you for all of the geocaching lessons you've taught me and all of the mysteries you've helped me solve.

Cette cache est placée à l'honneur de Bird is the Word, une géocacheuse locale que j'ai eu le privilège de rencontrer très tôt dans ma "carrière" de géocaching. Je voulais faire publier cette cache pour fêter votre 9000e, mais vous en trouvez tellement, rapidement, que ce type de coordination serait quasiment impossible.

Tous les grands géocacheurs de l'ouest de l'ile ont des iles nommées pour eux. Il me semble que la personne qui m'a été présentée avec le nom "la reine du géocaching de l'ouest de l'ile" devrait en avoir une aussi.
Là, c'est fait.

Ensemble, nous avons eu des aventures en géocaching extraordinaires qui m'ont donné beaucoup de plaisir pendant les 10 derniers mois. Merci pour tous les leçons de géocaching que vous m'avez enseignées et pour les caches mystères que vous m'avez aidées à résoudre.
