Geocache Description:

camo'd micro, hanging in willows right by the trail.

This residential section was developed by Cominco in the early 1900's for company employees. The architecture was limited - hip-roofed fronts we called Mickey Mouse Houses. The 'other' design didn't get a nickname. Plenty of outdoor fun happened on these streets: Kick the can, Run Sheep Run, Ante-I-Over, bouncing chestnuts off the odd aluminum roof.
50 years ago, (above the present cache) there was what the neighbourhood kids called an 'Ape swing', we often trekked down the gully to collect bugs/minnows, have picnics & adventures. The nearest Norwegian could ski right down the face in cross-country skiis and wowed everyone. The way to high-school was uphill - BOTH WAYS!
Now everyone enjoys development of the area with groomed trails, a trail head, bridges and everything! High-tech rural living!
And it even has a geocache! (but not a pencil)
