This cache is not at the coordinates listed above, but is not far from it. This is a small, short walking tour of downtown Salmo B.C. The terrain rating is only based on distance walking from one mural to the next around the loop. It is easy level ground!
You will need to walk (or drive) around downtown Salmo and view the extraordinary samples of rock murals done by students of Kootenay Stone. The following coordinates are for murals you will need to visit and gather information on in order to calculate the actual cache location. Pay attention. The math comes next and as my mother used to say when we wondered how she knew something we thought was secret -- The little birdie told me so.
You can do the walking tour in any order or direction with any start point, but you may come back near to where you started!
