Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED CO-ORDINATES, but they do indicate a reasonable place to park along the Sibbald Trail (Hwy 68). Solve the puzzle and go for a 1 kilometer hike though a pleasant open forest. It might be wise to stay high on the east side of the creek.


Around about this time of year I start to yearn for spring and the appearance of our beautiful wildflowers. So, I thought I would make a simple match the name to the picture puzzle using some of my wildflower photo’s, all of which were taken within 20 kms of this spot.


12 Wildflowers



  1. Campanula rotundifolia
  2. Pedicularis groenlandica
  3. Cypripedium calceolus
  4. Lonicera dioica
  5. Cypripedium passerinum
  6. Clematis columbiana
  7. Orchis rotundifolia
  8. Tragopogon dubius
  9. Arnica cordifolia
  10. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
  11. Antennaria rosea
  12. Calypso bulbosa

Match them up and solve the following string of characters;


N(D+F)(E-J)(G-H-K)(F+K)(E-L)(G-B+D)(A+I)W(C)(D)(G-B)(E-L)(G/K)(B-F)(H-I-D)


Now go find it!
