Geocache Description:

*This cache is down a dirt road, the road goes farther than Google Maps is drawn to believe. Note: excessive hiking through fields is NOT required.* Advised to be aware near tall grass for wildlife or other things that crawl. Decent ways out of town, not too far. Easily reached by bike, or car, long walk if prepared. Bring camera for sights.


- Contains tradeables, logbook, pencil. Not recommended for winter, but possible under light conditions.

     Two ways to approach: North/South. After 10 years being up, I think more and more about the favourable conditions to reaching it. Down a dirt road, past the party spots, there is an old forgotten place where lots of history can be found.

 For those approaching from the south (northbound) Recommended for Summer to Winter, not recommended in wet conditions, and hence, not Spring. Best to drive. There is a weak farm road stemming off from the dirt road, with a fence on your left. Best to park by the road entrance, and walk. Be aware of uneven terrain, and potentially muck if it's rained. The white stuff is saline soil, basically like a salt flat from fertilizers and relatively harmless; I wouldn't eat it. It may mark some clothes but it washes out. Easy to pass by when dry.

 For those approaching from the North (Southbound) Recommended for late fall to early summer. Note, path may become overgrown during summer but not always. Usually thick tracks leading there. Can be walked, biked, or driven from town. Best to park by the chain link fence, and walk from there which is closer than the south route. Follow the tire ruts until close by.

 Notable sights in this area include a small wetland, and even some red succulents growing on the saline soils, as well as old rusted farm equipment, old cans, and rocks laid aside.
