B's Holiday Lookout Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Rote Baronin: As my parents are getting really old meanwhile, and I cannot guarantee a proper maintenance at any time, I decided to use my stay to take it with me and put it into archive.

Thanks to all who found the cache during the years and for all the nice logs.

Geocache Description:



As my parents are living for more than 20 years in the beautiful Okanagan in Canada, BC now, I´m trying to visit them as often as possible. Whenever I am here, my steps lead me to this fantastically scenic lookout at the Kettle Valley Railway above Naramata. Enjoy the silence and spectacular panorama when you're looking for the box.
The former railway was built from 1910 to 1916 from Midway to Hope mainly for the transport of silver ore, but also for fruit from the Okanagan, wood and passengers. Because the huge maintenance expenses made this line unprofitable, one has decided in the 90s to convert the decomissioned line into a biking and hiking path.

You can park at: N 49° 35,121'  W 119°34,219'

Da meine Eltern seit über 20 Jahren im wunderschönen Okanagan in Canada BC leben, versuche ich so oft wie möglich Sie dort zu besuchen. Dabei führt mich, wann immer ich hier bin, mein Weg zu diesem traumhaft schönen Aussichtspunkt am Kettle Valley Railway oberhalb von Naramata.
Geniesst die Ruhe und die spektakuläre Aussicht wenn ihr die Dose sucht.

Die ehemalige Eisenbahnlinie wurde ab 1910 bis 1916 zwischen Midway und Hope zur Beförderung vor allem von Silbererz, aber auch Obst aus dem Okanagan, Holz und Fahrgästen gebaut. Nachdem diese Bahnlinie aufgrund des immensen Instandhaltungsaufwandes unrentabel geworden war, beschloss man in den 90er Jahren die stillgelegte Trasse in einen Rad- und Wanderweg umzuwandeln.

Parken könnt ihr bei: N 49° 35,121'  W 119°34,219'
