hurleyanne: Checked out the area with onebadant yesterday and couldn't find the cache. I'm assuming it has been muggled. Thanks for hunting, and sorry it wasn't there for those who looked and couldn't find.

I remembered back when I found Golden Crown that this would be a great place to hide more caches, so that's what I've done! Since Golden Crown is basically a park-and-grab, I figured I'd plant something for someone who needs to do more than just stretch their legs. Expect some climbing and bushwhacking! There are thorns and burrs in the area. In fact, it's the first time I remember ever getting burrs in my hair!

There is an obvious place to climb from if you park at the coordinates provided below. There is also an old road a little further south, but it is very rutted (check out the photo). I wish I had gotten a picture that showed where parts of the road were washed out about 3' deep! It's fine for hiking, but I wouldn't recommend anyone but the most diehard of 4x4 drivers to attempt it. The main reason why I mention it at all is that there is a great view of the old Borden Bridge from there. Check it out!

Cache is an ammo can with a variety of trade items. FTF is welcome to take an item without trading. Enjoy!

NOTE: GOOGLE MAP POSTED BELOW HAS INACCURATE DEPICTION OF ROAD INTO CAMPGROUND.

Edit July 13/08 - New container hidden. Also added a waypoint for the closest trailhead for those who are not keen on bushbashing. If you do happen to find a camouflage-painted ammo can please take it and rehide it somewhere else. I couldn't find it and there were previous DNFs, so I think it was likely muggled.
