Although sapphire typically refers to the rich blue gemstone variety of the mineral corundum, this royal gem actually occurs in a rainbow of hues. Sapphires come in every colour except red, which earn the classification of rubies instead. Trace elements like iron, titanium, chromium, copper and magnesium give naturally colourless corundum a tint of blue, yellow, purple, orange or green, respectively.

Important Notes
You will be travelling on backcountry forest service roads. For your safety, please watch your speed, other road users and wildlife. Logging trucks and BC Hydro trucks may be encountered along this road. Cell phone service is virtually nonexistent. Please practice safe caching, and Be Prepared. The road is gravel with some pot holes. There were a few water bars when the caches were hidden in November 2018. In March 2019, when I revisited to double check coordinates, many new water bars had been dug, some fairly deep. You will want a higher clearance vehicle to navigate them. The roads may not be passable during snowy conditions.
These caches are not meant to be a power trail. Power trail logging practices are not acceptable. This includes throwing down replacement caches or swapping containers. If you can not find the cache, log a DNF. If a log sheet is damp and you have supplies feel free to replace the log sheet or write a needs maintenance log.
