This is what you can expect on this trail: The caches in this trail are all named after lakes in our great province. Cache containers are micros and larger. There will be a mix of container types and some will be winter friendly and some won't. For this reason there won't be a winter attribute at all because of snow levels on the sides of the roads in the winter will vary. Some of the caches will require you to walk thru ditches so depending on time of year and water levels rubber boots might be a good idea.
Kalliecahoolie Lake:
Kalliecahoolie Lake is Southwest of Gods Lake. Named in 1935 after a popular song of the 1930s. The information was obtained from Mr. J. H. Morgan who was with the GSC in 1935. While plotting a survey of an unnamed lake, the party chief asked for a name. The cook was singing the song My Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii. “Kalliecahoolie” was the closest he could render this difficult Hawaiian word and was the name suggested to commemorate Ted’s singing abilities as well as his cooking. The Air Force photographed large tracts of northern Manitoba years later and requested names for the lakes in the area. They were not authorized to use Native names but accepted Kalliecahoolie because it sounded unique. Mr. Morgan was visiting Gods Lake gold mine several years latter when he met a linguist who showed him a copy of a newly issued four-mile topographic map of the area. He translated Kalliecahoolie as “Lake of the Dying Bullfrog.” Locally known as Mistigan Lake, a Saulteaux name meaning fish trap.
