This entire area is rich with history and loaded with artifacts
dating back to the original Klondike gold rush of 1898. The 33 mile
route along the Taiya river, over the famous "Golden Staircase" and
finishing along some of the most beautiful Canadian lakes god
created will literally seem like a walk in the park
The National Park Service maintains a ranger station and
campground just up the street from this cache location. The
official start of the Chilkoot trail is about .4 miles in the other
direction, at a well marked trailhead on your right, just before
you cross over the Taiya river.
This won't show you the way to the cache but it will lead you to
one of the best adventures you can have in Alaska! I completed this
epic trek along with good friends OMGcrew & hixfromthestix. I
would encourage everyone to retrace the steps of the gold rush
miners of 1898, it should be on everyones "bucket list"
This cache is placed with the property owners permission.
Feel free to stop in and say hello after visiting the cache
location. Fred and Kathy Hosford are both cacher friendly.
SPOILER ALERT!
Congrats to 1Queenand4Jokers on the FTFBP (before publishing) I
have to assume someone tipped you off about this one. More Congrats
to the Pirates of the Yukon for the more traditional and authentic
FTF.
