Geocache Description:

The Country Road Series
In 2011 I traveled this road for the first time. We were going from Sun Peaks to Adams Lake and I was immediately enamored by the beauty of this drive. So, I decided to do a series of caches along here. I hope you have fun finding them and enjoy the countryside. Most caches are designed to be found with a minimum of frustration and the terrain is not difficult to navigate. Watch out for kids playing, dogs running, gophers really running, farm equipment traveling at slower speeds and wildlife on or near the road and at certain times of the year there will be free range cattle on the road too. I have made sure the caches are placed near to a pull out for your vehicle. So please, pack a lunch, load up the kids, the dog, sun screen, bug spray, sun hats, slow down and enjoy The Country Road Series
 
Barbed Wire
Barbed wire, barb wire, bob wire or bobbed wire is a type of fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strands. It is used to construct inexpensive fences and is used atop walls surrounding secured property.

Barbed wire was the first wire technology capable of restraining cattle. Wire fences were cheaper and easier to erect than the many wooden alternatives. When wire fences became widely available in the late 19th century they made it affordable to fence much larger areas than before. That made cattle ranching practical on a much larger scale.

A person or animal trying to pass through or over barbed wire will suffer discomfort and possible injury. Barbed wire fencing requires only fence posts, wire and fixing devises such as staples. It is simple to construct and quick to erect.

The first patent in the United States was issued in 1867 to Lucien B. Smith of Kent, Ohio who is regarded as the inventor of barbed wire. Joseph F. Glidden of DeKalb, Illinois received a patent in 1874 after he made his own modifications to the previous version.
The original cache disappeared so I've relocated a new one close to the original coordinates. The new cache is not on Barb but is nearby.
