Geocache Description:


This cache has been set to mark the Beginning of the Cranbrook Extension to the North Star Trail. It was necessary to place the cache well away from the actual Trail Head so as to conform to the minimum distance requirements between a cache and the active railroad.

As we move through the four seasons it is necessary to employ different methods of non-motorized travel between summer and winter on the Trail. I particularly enjoy Spring, when the snow and ice are leaving and new shoots are appearing on trees and plants. Birds begin appearing from the south and there are generally signs of freshness and renewal in the air.

The finding of this cache is MUCH more likely for cachers who search in the Spring (in fact, I can almost guarantee a 100% success rate). Those who hunt in the winter are far less likely to be triumphant – you have been warned!
