AnakeRose: Sorry to say I believe a home owner in the area knows about this cache and is repeatedly sabotaging my container. I may revisit this spot in the future, but for now I'm opening up the space for anyone who would like to try. Good luck.

Geocache Description:

You are looking for the site of the Ellis Homestead.

The site is in a residential area so please watch for children. You can pretty well park right beside where the cache will be hidden. The proximity of the houses may make it more difficult to find. Cache itself is easy, but getting it without being seen may be harder.

"The area around Penticton was originally inhabited by the Okanagan Nations who named it 'Snpintktn', meaning 'a place to stay forever'. In 1866, Irish immigrant Tom Ellis settled here and began raising cattle. In the 1890s, Ellis entered into an agreement with the Penticton Townsite Company to dispose of some of his property and the community of Penticton was established. The original Ellis family homestead site can be found in the centre of the city at Windsor Avenue Park."
