We lived at North Lodge for a year so we wanted to leave a cache.
Because of the strict rules for placing a cache this is the closest we could get to North Lodge, so its a little bit away, but still in a nice place.
This lodge was built between the 1858 and 1894.
A small container, big enough for trackables and swaps.
