An historic building, now a little cafe and store.
The owners are aware of the cache and have granted permission
for it. You can reach it from outside the fence. There is no need

A Passport to Our
Living History
Welcome to Chasing the Golden Butterfly, a guide to the historic
heart of British Columbia. This is your passport to all the
excitement and adventure that 10,000 years of stories can offer.
This inclusive web of First Nations, Gold Rush, railroad, ranching
and other heritage is not meant to be simply an echo of the past.
Rather, it’s a link with the regions’ living history, one you can
experience today by visiting these sites.
The title, “Chasing the Golden Butterfly” comes from D.W.
Higgins’ The Mystic Spring, which tells the stories of gold seekers
from the 1858 rush. But there are many kinds of gold along the
rivers and valleys of British Columbia, as the First Nations have
known for millennia. As a geocacher, you can follow three
characters along these routes as they look for their own personal
golden butterflies. We hope you find yours.
