Along the Historic Pend-d'Oreille Valley.
This is an OFFSET PROJECTION CACHE so no damage will occur to a piece of history!
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!
The coordinates will bring you to a rock wall along the Dewdney Trail? This retaining wall is from the era of the Dewdney Trail and gold panning, although it may have been installed some years later around the end of the 1800's as part of the wagon road for the homesteads beyond.
FROM HERE, go about 60 metres at 275 degrees True North, but first take the time to check out the wall!
This cache is located along the rough gravel section of the tour.
Should be a relatively easy cache to find. A little bit of history here! Now on to the next!
July 29, 2017 NOTE: Off Road Vehicle or a high clearance vehicle will be needed now as road is really rough
