THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES
The Silvery Slocan Heritage Tour is approximately 235 kms long. Be prepared for breath taking senery as you take a step back in time. The tour will take you through the towns of Nelson, Kalso, New Denver, as well as through the "Valley of the Ghosts". The loop can be driven in four hours - with NO CACHING. You MIGHT be able to find the series of caches in one day but we strongly suggest that you spend two days as there are so many things to see and do along the way.
There are 14 caches that you will need to visit - in any order - to find "Silvery Slocan Heritage Tour - Pay Dirt".
