Mariah's Kitty Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Bedunga: I've moved off the coast and can't maintain this one any more.

I dug the cache container out of the mud in the rock wall at O'Shea and Spyglass.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the posted coordinates, but is within the same general area. School Hill's elevation change is approximately 100m and the slope at the bottom is 18%. Parking at the top and bottom is problematic, so walk it, just like the students did, 100 years ago. The cache is nearby, somewhere off the middle of School Road.

Prior to the Howe Sound School District’s incorporation on June 12, 1890, Mrs. Henry Smith (Mrs. Lucy A.B. Smith) had been giving informal lesson to her daughter, nieces and nephew and “the Manning child” in a log cabin on the Gibsons property, “close to the beach,” probably near the site of the current Pioneer Park. A half-acre building site purchased from the Aslett pre-emption in Gibsons Heights was acquired for a school building, and connected to the Village by the first public road in Gibson’s Landing - School Road - built with a $400 provincial government grant. On January 19, 1891 Lucy Smith held her first class at the new one-room Howe Sound School. In honour of our Granddaughter, this is a cat themed cache.
