Geocache Description:

This small cache in a black peanut butter jar, was hid on the weekend of the 10 Year Geocaching Birthday Events, near the trailhead of the Mel Deanna Trail, to not only commemorate our 5 Year Caching Experience, but to thank the West Kootenay cachers for all the great caches that they have hid for us to find.

Not only are we celebrating 5 Years of Geocaching, but we reached our 1400 Milestone on this weekend, and the very first geocache we hid (GCPM2F Columbia Views -- That's No Mockery) is hid at this location too!

As noted, this cache is hid off the Mel Deanna Trail so park in the viewpoint area near the toilets and climb the stairs to enjoy your short hike in the enclosed area. There are benches to enjoy the views as well. Some of you might want to park on the shoulder and take the shorter, steeper, not as easy, more direct route, but you are cheating yourself out of an interesting short hike on the knoll. Besides, you might want to continue on this 5-6 km loop trail down to the ponds and the "Mel Deanna" (GC13MTK) cache and you wouldn't want to leave your vehicle on the side of the road. For more info on the Mel Deanna Trail go to this link: Mel Deanna Trail

We challenge local cachers (hey Pappy90 & Dyelo!) to put out more caches on this trail system too as there is lots of room and lots to see! Let's entice more cachers to do this hike so we need the middle filled up!
