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!
Because of the grouping of these three mountain lakes, a campground was formed. While camping nearby, one can fish, camp, or just lounge around. What else you say? Well, how about a short hike?
This cache is located about 30 metres from the start of the Lookout Trail. You are looking for an ammo box with the usual, as well as original contents of mainly kid's stuff: cammo tape, spidy pencil, beads, magnetic frame, water toy, geo-tattoos, Canada keychain, water goggles, pocket kite and goosh ball.
Enjoy the cache, hike, lake, and tour!! Oh yah, plant ID book might be in order, and of course the obligatory latin for one of our caches!
