Marble Madness
This is cache #13 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.
Just south of the town of Northport you will
find a small area on the East side of the road to turn out. There
is a massive pile of rocks here as well...
This cache was origianlly back in the quarry
but this area has since been posted as no trespassing probably due
to the garbage being dumped and the collapsed buildings on the
other side of the highway. The highway is actually on a bridge here
that allowed them to move stone from the quarry to the rail road
tracks on the other side..
The cache is still here only now near the
highway. I left it mostly for the historical perspective and you
can still get some great pictures from the pullout along side the
road.
I'm not a rock hound but it has been reported
to me that this stone is a limestone of some type. (If someone
knows what it is for sure let us know in your log entry.
This cache contains the typical log book
items as well as a few trinkets to trade around. It is in a small
camo tape covered container with a little bit of room for smaller
items.
As you've probably already guessed it is
hidden in and among the rocks.
Please Remember: Travel Bugs and
Geocoins are NOT to be kept but should be logged and moved to other
caches to help achieve their missions. You do not need to trade 1
for 1 for travel bugs and geocoins but you do need to move them to
other caches. If you see bugs or coins in this cache please move
them along... we don't want them trapped for the winter.
