Geocache Description:

For a long time, I wondered what was behind the fenced off compound - you'd never see any activity or much comings and goings at all. Turns out, this is a convent for the Sisters of the Sacred Blood. The cache is just off a trail that runs beside the convent.


The "N" is for Nelson Series (N4N)


This series of nine caches is intended to commemorate the City of Nelson, and was inspired by the "geowriting" by the Kootenay Pirates in their 10 year anniversary series. This series fills a void in town where nobody seemed to want to put a cache. It also represents my predisposition to going overboard first time out, but we'll get to that some other time.


In order to complete this series, you will have to find eight caches hidden throughout the Rosemont area of town. Naturally, the caches are aligned in a large letter "N" (about 2,000 feet high) and in each of these caches is a clue to the location of the final cache. Each clue is written on both the underside of the lid, and on the inside cover of the log book. The final cache itself is located beside a scenic, yet seldom seen feature in town. Once you have collected all the clues, put them into the following coordinates to gain the final location:


N 49° 2A.BCD
W 117° 1E.FGH


Each cache in the series is a standalone cache in itself so you can do each cache on its own without doing the entire series. Please be aware that the entire area is a high muggle zone so stealth will be needed while looking for all of these caches.
