This cache is part of a series called the “Prairie Storms Adventure Trail” developed by Living Skies 2014 MEGA Event volunteers. Enjoy the hidden secrets of Southern Saskatchewan by getting off the beaten trail to sites seldom visited, scenic views, historic sites and buildings. The name also pays tribute to the Alberta's “Prairie Winds Adventure Trail” which was created for the Best of the Bad (WestCan 1) MEGA event in 2011.
This series will also take you along the Red Coat Trail, which is a 1,300 km route through southern Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta taken in 1874 by the North-West Mounted Police in their quest to bring law and order to the Canadian West. In Saskatchewan, Highway 13 is designated as Red Coat Trail.
Southern Saskatchewan had been know as a prairie landscape with no trees and one can see for miles and miles.
As the story goes. a traveler from Northern Ontario ventured to Saskatchewan to see an old school buddy. He was unsure exactly where the homestead of his school buddy was located and sought directions from some locals in the town. The directions he was given by the local was "Go North on highway 18. When you get to the tree, turn left."
Until this day the school buddy is still waiting for his friend.
Venture in the same direction as the traveler and find the lone tree. If the road looks like the photo, it just a very very short walk from pavement.
