Very near the confluence of Beaver Creek with the Mighty Columbia River.
If you can't find this cache right away, sit a spell on the beautiful new bench, view the Mighty Columbia and reflect on things at your back. Ah, what the heck, sit and enjoy the view anyways!!
The boys just missed a couple of nice rainbows just below here. I stayed at the campground nearby some 20+ years back and I remember it as a dry hot place -- my but the trees have grown!! There appears to be a fair bit of shade now!
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!
Here, you are looking for a cammoed tobacco tin with: dolphin pen, noise maker, stuffy elephant, pin, heart eraser, Cure Kids Cancer bracelet and a water toy.
Enjoy the stop, cast a lure, camp or have a picnic.
Oh, once again a plant ID book may be in order!!
