Skookum Bear: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if it was missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within a reasonable amount of time, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities. If the cache owner would like to replace a cache at this location, please submit a new geocache listing and it will be reviewed under the current Geocaching guidelines.

Please do not respond to this note by sending an email reply - your response will go to an unmonitored location and disappear into the ether instead of being sent to me. If you need to contact me regarding this cache, please do so using the link on my Profile Page

Thank you for your contribution to geocaching.

Geocache Description:

Located just off the Barkerville highway on the 1300 rd next to the gold rich Lightning creek.
Cache is in a 4" dia. magnetized container. Please take extra care in replacing container to it's original position so we can keep it safe from muggles. Also keep trading items light weight..... you will see why.
WATCH FOR LOGGING TRUCKS AND DRIVE WITH HEADLIGHTS ON!

This creek has been heavily Placer mined since the 1800's, and up to the present day one can still find gold by panning along these banks.
Take a walk downstream about 60 meters and you can see the tailings from century old mining activity.
Try your luck at fishing here after July 1st.
There is a beautiful forest service campsite just upsteam, with a fresh spring water pumphouse. You can stay up to 14 days here.
Exploring upstream, you may find "Poor Antone's" grave.
