Along the Pend-d'Oreille Road between Nelway and Waneta.
The Beautiful British Columbia Mini H2O Tour or BBCM H2O Tour is approximately 110 kilometres, taking a loop from Salmo, south to Nelway, west along the Pend-d’Oreille River Valley (Part of the Dewdney Trail and planned part of the Trans Canada Trail) to Waneta, north towards Montrose and then NNE and finally east via Fruitvale back to Salmo.
There is an abundance of water in most of this gorgeous province. Water is the lifeblood of man and beast. We have tamed nature’s food for: power, irrigation for farming, drinking water, recreation in the form of swimming, boating, fishing, camping, panoramic viewing, and even gold panning. There should be evidence of all these examples and perhaps a few more on this tour!
The tour can be done in any direction, with each of the 14 caches leading up to the final being stand alone caches, but keep in mind that the final cache – Nature’s Gift is near Salmo; said to be home to the finest drinking water in the land!!!
At ten of the caches you will find a clue that is written on both the lid of the container and the first page of the log book. Sound familiar? Record this clue. Four of the caches don’t contain a clue, but which ones don’t? Well I guess you will have to do the circuit to find out!
We'll let you discover this one and relate its charms! Some years back, I was witness to someone camped (in a truck camper) right at the base of the falls, albeit in late summer. I would have hated the result with a flash flood!! Large boulders now prevent this.
There is a good campsite between the road and the pondage of the Seven Mile Dam (if you should be so lucky on a weekend)! If you look close enough you can see the remains of drilling and blasting -- from road builders or from miners?
You are looking for a 4" by 2" cylindrical container, cammoed of course. Original contents are: Cure Kids Cancer bracelet, watch band, fun eraser, marble, and tire flies.
There is no need to climb, but one could get their feet wet!
If making the tour a two day event, this might be a good stopping off place (depending on direction, and starting point). Perhaps a little gold panning is in order. Good picture spot. Stealth may be required.
