Root Cellar at Combination Creek
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
When driving east of Princeton, turn right at the RCMP Police station. Drive about 18kms along this road until you reach the end of the pavement. Caution should be used because this is an active logging road and you may run into logging trucks. Take Wolfe Belgie Branch 5 (Upper Road) for about 2.5kms then turn right onto Combination Road.
Not very car friendly so try at own risk if you don't have a truck or something with a little ground clearance.
In 2002 the Friday Creek forest fire changed this area. On the way to this cache one will pass by the remains of an old log cabin. (Bob's). The cabin was originally built by a Mr. Crowley. Elevation at this point is 4091ft.
Years after this location was abandoned it was used by the Boy Scouts. They would have weekend campouts in the 1950's. Enjoy the view from this spot...if the weather is nice.
A short distance away will be the Geocache site. A man by the name of Charlie Lundstrum built a home in the 1930's and today the only thing remaining is the ruins of what used to be a root cellar. The fire of 2002 caused the collapse of the root cellars roof so it looks like a small bunker. Elevation at the cellar is about 3834ft.
