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:

Micro near rest area at British Columbia/Alberta border

Stop at rest area at Portal Lake at the border. Look for a small camoed match container. This cache should be accessible all year round. The Yellowhead Pass was originally favored by Sandford Fleming for the route for the CPR Railway but was rejected. It was later used by the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern Pacific railroads. Highway 16 was built on some of the old road beds. CNR now currently uses this route. This is a high muggle area so stealth is required.
