Geocache Description:

Bottom of Salmo Ski Hill. Part of a series of caches hidden for kids, or people of all ages who are kids at heart! These are a continuation of our Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme series of caches we started this past winter, with more to come in the weeks that follow! Take a short hike up the "West Run". The elevation gain from parking is about 50-55 metres.


Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again.

Originally published in 1803. In the seventeen century, the Oxford English Dictionary has the term "humpty dumpty", as a drink of brandy boiled with ale. "Huh"! This might explain the fall! Our Humpty had a soft place to land so perhaps the rhyme keepers were able to put him back together again. Go in from the tallest larch -- the innukshuk will lead the way.
