Geocache Description:


This is the 7th and final of our Canada caches. This is a large lock n' lock container holding items with Canada on it, pencils, note pads, lanyards, etc. We would like to continue this trend with items traded in this cache. This location offers a unique view of Turtle Mountain, the eastern face of it from which the Frank Slide occurred on April 29, 1903. Parking is available off highway #3 by taking the central access, heading north, towards Bellevue. Take the next left hand turn, onto a gravel road and follow it to the waypoint coordinates for parking. This gravel road is just 100 yards off of Highway #3. This cache is located along the eastern edge of the Frank Slide, in an area where nature if reclaiming this area of rock. Wander around and see how nature is covering the destruction caused by the sea of limestone.
