rail fence Traditional Cache

The 1890s held high hopes for the lode gold of mines such as Stemwinder, Morning Star, and Rattler. By 1902 when the Fairview Hotel or 'Big Teepee' burned, the golden years were over. Fairview’s population shrank as miners left for other prospects. Some settlers, lured by the natural attractions of the Okanagan Valley remained to profit from the lasting wealth of its resources.

Cache is hidden along the fence line of the old townsite land in a clear container with a purple lid and label taped to the inside.

This cache is located east of the other ones within the old fairview townsite. Great view of the valley to the east and to the south. Come up here at night to see the lights of osoyoos.

This is an interesting location with compasses and GPSs. As there is old mine tailings mixed amongst the soil in the town site area, it could through off your compass. Please be patient.
