Geocache Description:

I launched a helium weather balloon from a location near my house.  The location of this cache is where it landed.


The balloon landed at this location.  I converted the balloon payload into a geocache (I removed the cameras).

See the balloon videos here:

You can relive the balloon recovery as I did.
It was fairly wet when it landed in the spring, so it was difficult to retrieve.  Hopefully it is drier when you attempt this cache.
See if there are still portions of the balloon stuck in the tree (see image).
Use the old logging roads to get as close as you can.  The last 1/2 km will require a trek through the bush.
