Geocache Description:


Cardinal Divide
The Cardinal Divide is a wide alpine ridge separating two major watersheds.
To the north, the McLeod - Athabasca Rivers drain to the Arctic Ocean.
To the south, the Cardinal - North Saskatchewan Rivers drain into the Hudson's Bay.
There are fantastic views from the parking lot on the Divide at 2000 m (6500 ft)
or take a short hike for some incredible vistas.
Please stay on the trails as this is a very fragile area.

You are looking for a small camo'ed Lock&Lock container containing assorted swag and an old bottle opener from my Grandpa's workshop in Robb.

This cache is dedicated to my great aunt, Nevis LaBranche.
Daughter to Peter Addison "Baldy" Robb,
she was born in the area and went to school in Robb.
Aunt Nevis often talked about coming up here and
what a special place it was for her.
Wishing you
A house full of sunshine,
Hearts full of cheer,
Love that grows deeper
each day of the year.

Near Coalspur (along Hwy 47) you'll pass by two Brass Caps (Survey Markers) that can be logged on geocaching.com as finds. Specifically, the caps are BCP143 & BCP370.
Make sure you stop and grab 'em!
