BC Parks 100 – Kilby Provincial Park Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

agassiz_angel: I was going to replace the container and then I remembered that this cache would have to be removed in June anyway (as per BC Parks guidelines of having a cache in one spot for 3 years) so I have decided to archive this one and let someone place a cache in the area.
Thank you to all that found it.

Geocache Description:


BC Parks is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The first BC Park was Strathcona Park on Vancouver Island which was officially created on March 1, 1911.


Today, the parks system in British Columbia is one of our greatest resources. Currently 14.26% (13.5 million hectares) of British Columbia's land base is protected.
There are more than 340 campgrounds, 6000 km of hiking trails, 118 boat launches and 263 day-use areas in B.C.'s provincial park system.


BC Parks and the BC Geocaching Association are partnered along with the Year of Science to invite you to explore BC Parks.


This is one of 100 caches placed in parks throughout BC. Each cache will have a unique trackable geocoin available for the first 3 finders.
There are also BC Parks trade items, BC Geocaching Association buttons, and Year of Science pins.


There is a maximum of one coin per Geocaching account. Please trade fairly for all items in the cache. If you have a coin from another cache, please leave it for another cacher - you would want them to do the same for you.

Tucked away in a rural pastoral setting, Kilby Provincial Park is characterized by its scenic riverfront location and wonderful pioneer history. We went for a walk around the park to find the perfect spot to hide this special cache. There were so many nice places to place the cache but we were looking for the perfect spot, which we finally found. I hope you take the time to park your vehicle and take a walk around this amazing park and check out the museum while you are here.
Kilby Provincial Park

There are activities going on in BC Parks all year to celebrate this wonderful anniversary.
