The Canadian Rockies - Cache Creek BC Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ferrous Oxide: This cache has well and truly gone walkabouts. I can not afford the time, effort or money to keep replacing the same caches over and over again. I have removed the fishing line, (which was still tied around the branch) and this cache is now archived, thanks to all of you who had fun finding it. Good Hunting !

Geocache Description:

This is a series of caches along the Caldon Canal in Satffordshire. There is no central  car park but the canal does run through some housing estates and parking can normally be found.

This arm of the Trent & Mersey Canal starts at Etruria Junction and continues onto Froghall Wharf.

Thanks to The Canals & Rivers Trust for granting permission to hide this cache.

I was amazed by the Canadian Rockies when I was fortunate to be able to holiday there some years ago and can recommend the country, and it’s friendly people, for a relaxing, yet exhilarating, touring holiday in Alberta (AB) and British Columbia (BC).

Cache Creek is a historic transportation junction and incorporated village 354 kilometres (220 mi) northeast of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. It is on the Trans-Canada Highway in the province of British Columbia at a junction with Highway 97.

The same intersection and the town that grew around it was at the point on the Cariboo Wagon Road where a branch road, and previously only a trail, led east to Savona's Ferry on Kamloops Lake. This community is also the point at which a small stream, once known as Riviere de la Cache, joins the Bonaparte River.

The name is derived, apparently, from a cache or buried and hidden supply and trade goods depot used by the fur traders of either the Hudson's Bay Company or its rival the North West Company.

 Although it was first incorporated as a Local District municipality with the name Cache Creek in 1959, the name has been associated with this community since long before incorporation. A Cache Creek post office was first established here in 1868.
