Geocache Description:


The cache is at the posted coordinates, @ Munro(e) Lake. This is a challenge cache --- in order to claim the find you must qualify and sign the logbook.

I came up this way in search of the Dennett Lake Stash Cache (GCE2C), BC's 10th oldest active cache (as of this cache's hide date), hidden June 30, 2001. It also fills a Jasmer grid for most local cachers.

It is seldom found due to the difficulty in the hike and the hide.

The challenge is simple --- find 5 active caches older than the Dennett Lake Stash Cache.  These can be anywhere in the world, so many may qualify, but add in the hike & I suspect this cache will indeed prove challenging.

Please use the checker:

PGC Checker

The hike is approximately 2 hours from parking, one way, with an elevation change of 750 meters.  If you make it up here, please continue on & try your luck with the Dennett Lake Stash Cache itself, another 1.3 kms away, as the crow flies, with about 150 meters more to climb, plus some scrambling at the end, and a potentially frustrating search.

Alas, anyone claiming the find without qualifying will have their smiley deleted. You are welcome to sign the log anytime, but to claim the find you must also qualify.
