A quick drive up cache on the outskirts of Greenwood. Learn some history while stopped here. Look across the road and see some remains of old mining and smelting.
The Boundary Region was one of the biggest copper producing regions of the world. Greenwood, Phoenix, Deadwood, Boundary Falls, Eholt, Summit City, and Grand Forks all grew to house and service the men who worked in the copper mines, smelters and railways. The production of copper was seen as a long term investment, not a one or two year boom and bust that happened to so many of the gold and silver laden districts of the frontier west bringing Greenwood's population to around 3000.
Although rated a 1.5 terrain, a person seated in a wheel chair could get to the cache, but would not be able to retrieve it.
How many "molds" of ore slag can you count?
You are looking for a camod-micro -- don't worry, there aren't that many hiding spots. Just a little stealth may be needed.
