The Skagit Project - #1 - Silver tip Traditional Cache
The Skagit Project - #1 - Silver tip
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The Skagit Project
consists of 6 separate caches which each hold a clue to the
final cache.
Each cache is a small
cammoed tupperware container with small trade items which
relate to fishing and the great outdoors.
This project covers an area from Silver Lake to Ross lake. This
series is designed to bring you to this unique place where the
Skagit River flows south and the Silver Hope Creek flows north in
the same valley. Here you will see abundant and diverse wildlife
and plantlife as well as stunning scenic views.
The Skagit Project caches can be found individually as each has a
logbook, but if you plan to do the final, you will need to find all
6 caches in any order. Under the lid of each cache are part of the
coordinates to the final cache. You will need to write these down.
There is a first to finish certificate in the final.
Silver Tip Mountain is part of the Skagit
Range and stands 8550'. It overlooks the point where the Skagit
River enters the valley.
This is a fly fisherman's paradise. Sport fishers and boaters have
been flocking to the Skagit for decades. The Skagit is one of the
best fly fishing rivers in Western North America. Fish populations
are entirely supported by the Skagit and it's wild tributaries with
no artificial stocking. The B.C. Heritage River system recently
proclaimed the Skagit River as a Heritage River honouring it's
historical, ecological and recreational values. The Skagit is known
to many American and Canadian fly fishing associations. Every
summer the river opens for fishing from July 1st to October 31st.
Rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, Bull trout, Eastern Brook trout and
cutthroat are commonly fished.
The cache has been hidden at a small beach on the Skagit River.
This area is easily accessible by a short trail to the river. You
will want mosquito repellant for this cache. Satellite coverage
wasn't the best at midday, so the hint should help.
Don't forget your fly rod and good luck!
