Townsite Trail Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Wizard of Ooze: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within the requested time period, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities.

If the cache owner would like to replace a cache at this location, please submit a new geocache listing and it will be reviewed under the current geocaching.com guidelines. Please don’t post a note on your archived listing as it won’t be forwarded to me and I won’t see it. If you need to contact me, please do so by emailing me through the contact link on my geocaching.com profile page or through my website www.wizardofooze.com

Thank you for your contributions to geocaching, and we hope to see you actively geocaching once again in the near future.

Geocache Description:

It is winter accessible.

Our first geocache - placed just a few steps off the Kimberley Townsite path. This path is located on the original road from the village of Kimberley to the location of the men’s barracks which housed the single men who worked for the Sullivan mine. This “old road” is now a paved walking path, complete with a yellow line down the center, to allow walkers a safe route from downtown Kimberley to the access point of the Cominco Gardens,(a favourite tourist stop) and the Townsite subdivision.

The cache is a match container, heavily camouflaged, in plain sight. It’s not advisable to visit this cache from 3:00pm to 4:00 pm on school days, due to heavy pedestrian traffic -local students. Parking is available at Centennial Hall at the bottom of the hill or on 4th Avenue which has a very wide shoulder very near the cache. If you park on 4th Ave, and are like us and usually end up bushwhacking to the cache in a straight line, increase the level of terrain difficulty by at least one full point. If you are wiser than we are, you can have easy access on the paved trail by following a slightly longer route.

Bring your own writing instrument.
