Geocache Description:

For those who know their geography this is a recognizable latitude.


After several "did not finds" I think my cache went missing. The way all the fallen trees and stumps are ripped up I'd guess a bear swatted it away as he was digging for ants. Repaced Saturday, Aug 4/18 The cache is an old metal first kit box painted dark. Some stuff inside.     Only a short jount into the bush will get you onto it.  Theres an old road that goes nowhere to park on so its an easy quick grab if you stop.

For those who remember, the 49th parallel is the border between the USA and Canada all the way to the Pacific ocean. However when you are here on the 49th you are about 30 miles inside Canada. If you look west and can visualize the other side of the wonderous Lake Of The Woods you can see the line running for thousands of kilometers west to the ocean.
