10 Years Later: The Final Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

kootenay pirates: We have decided to archive the "one" (now we'll just have a zero) so this one is no longer available. It's had a good run (over seven years) and the road has grown in quite a bit since we placed the caches. Thanks to everyone who visited the series.

Geocache Description:

Our favorite Sport Geocaching is 10 Years Old on May 1st, 2010.
Lets celebrate.



What better way to celebrate 10 Years of Geocaching than to reflect on how far the sport has come. There are currently over 1,000,000 active caches around the world. There have been many changes and improvements over the ten years.

We are totally amazed to find ourselves hiding this our 100th cache hide but what a great way to celebrate!!

In celebration of 10 Years of Geocaching we have hidden 12 caches that you will need to visit - in any order - to find this cache.

8 of the caches - the "zero" - are located in Kinnaird along a very interesting hiking trail. Stay on the trail until close to the cache (the most direct route isn't always the best approach). At some of the caches basic route finding skills may be required.

At 4 of the caches you need to park just off highway 3 in a little pull off (coords provided). There is a short little scramble required to get onto an old road - thus the terrain rating. Once on the road it is easy going - some sections are a little over grown while passing through an old logging area but only light bush whacking is required.

At ten of the cache sites you will find a clue that is written on the first page of the log book, as well as on the lid. Write this clue down. Two of the caches do not have a clue - but we're not going to tell you which caches those are.
After you have found all ten clues you will need to put the clues into this sequence. N49 AB.CDE W117 FG.HIJ
Each segment is a standalone cache, you are of course welcome to log if you don't have time to find all of the "10 Years Of Geocaching" celebration caches.
