Caples Lake Resort
About this location:
This is a summer virtual cache just off Hwy 88 at beautiful
Caple's Lake Resort. The elevation is 7855 feet. However, in winter
when they close the gate at the entrance, but you may still log
your visit. (See logging requirements below)
Turn off Hwy 88 on
the paved road which is well-marked "Caple's Lake Resort". Drive
all the way to the boat ramp area which is about a tenth of a
mile. At the boat ramp is a wooden U.S. Forest Service
sign.
If you like a
beautiful alpine lake area that is surrounded by spectacular peaks
and rock formations this is the place. It is ideal for boating,
hiking, fishing, and good dining. Enjoy this
area.
To verify you have found the
cache:
In the summer, you may log your visit with any photo on
your posted log with of the Forest Service sign, boat ramp, lake,
building, etc.
In winter when they close the gate at the entrance, you may
log your visit by taking any photo of the area, closed gate sign,
etc. and posting on your web log.

The original owner of this cache is no longer an active player in
the game and was gracious enough to allow me to take over the
maintenance of this hide. I have adopted five vista area
Virtual Caches around the perimeter of Lake Tahoe and three in the
Carson Pass/Kirkwood area. Loving Lake Tahoe and other
adjacent areas as he did, the original creator,
TahoeBerne, chose these scenic areas to have you
stop, look, and breathe in the beauty. I wholeheartedly agree
with his opinion of these areas and his reasons for wanting to
share them with you.
Although a "hidden" cache may be more challenging to locate,
TahoeBerne had the following reasons for making
these Virtual Caches:
-
Many Traditional hidden caches are
stolen.
-
You can visit them in all four seasons, pending
any road closures due to snow, which are only temporary
anyway.
-
They are easier to find, if that is your
desire.
-
They all are located in what I feel are the most
scenic locations.
