Geocache Description:


Calcite. Source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Calcite-20188.jpg

Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate. Over 800 forms of calcite crystals have been identified. Calcite is a common constituent of sedimentary rocks, limestone in particular, much of which is formed from the shells of dead marine organisms.

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.
