Entering the Icebox
This is cache #3 in what will be a series of
twenty caches that will have you traveling a "loop" from Colville,
north on Aladdin Road to near the Canadian border on Deep Lake
Boundary Road, and then back around to Colville through Northport
and Kettle Falls. The series will have a few little side trips but
it should be doable in a day with no problem. Please note that not
all of the caches will be placed and active at the same time. We
started with #6 and will get them all completed as quickly as we
can.
The area north of this cache is
affectionately referred to as "The IceBox". It always seems that
this area has a noticeably lower temperature than other areas on
Aladdin. In the winter months you can almost be guaranteed of more
snow here than other places on Aladdin as well.
As you come out of the valley from either
direction the road will cut through the rocks. A mini "mountain
pass if you will. There is a pullout on the North side of this rock
and a small access road that leads behind the rock. (You don't need
to go down the access road with your car but if you do, don't worry
there is plenty of room to turn around! Also, please USE CAUTION
when re-merging into traffic. Drivers coming over the top of the
hill will not be able to see you.) It is in the area of the rocks
and under the power lines where you will find cache #3 in the
series. You are looking for an ammo box so there is lots of room to
exchange things. (I've always wondered why power lines make that
crackling noise... Kinda eerie.
