I'm sorry, but this cache, although grandfathered before guideline changes, is unfortunately now classed as a virtual, commercial and vacation cache. It is inappropriate to ignore this situation much longer. It has been over a year since the container was reported missing, and no maintenance has taken place.

Please organise replacement of the cache, or I'm sorry I will need to archive this cache page.

Any changes to the cache page/decription must comply with the guidelines in effect at the time the changes take place. As it stands, this cache has effectively been turned into a virtual, this is unacceptable, sorry.

I went to the right place, and would have found it if it was there!
Didn't bother reading the logs, just got the info Sad
Seeing as there hasn't been a cache here for getting on toward 2 years why hasn't this been archived?

Great day for the trip out to the ligth house.
Found the right tree and the remains of the cache, ( Same as Dead End Collingwood ) . Rats had eaten most of the container and logbook. No longer there.

Alex, Phoebe and Olivia found this cache having gone out to the lighthouse with the Safari Tour. This was well placed since the visit to the lighthouse area is only 45 minutes! Phoebe and Oliva were excited to discover we were the first people to use the logbook. We left three US coins. We were here on holiday from Boston, MA, USA. We suggest replacing the box with a somewhat larger container so it can allow for exchanging trinkets. Also, the next hunters should bring a little pencil sharpener, we broke the point, sorry. The trip to the Spit is well worth it. John, our driver, told a lot of memorable stories.
