Welcome to Kelso Conservation Area
You are looking for a Large First Aid Kit container, tied to a series of grape vines under a pine tree. This container was first hidden on the Bronte Creek Water Trail, but was too close to another cache to be published. After spending 3 years along the creek, it was retrieved and moved here. The contents of the container were still in fantastic shape, as if the container was never used. With the theme of the Mary Hydes treasure hunt this summer, fresh in everyones minds, I give you, "Captain Jack’s Bounty @ Kelso."
