Geocache Description:

This cache is located about 47km south of Sioux Lookout next to Provincial Highway 72. It is to the west of the highway on top of lightly red coloured rock cut.

On top of a large rock with steep drop offs. Not recommended for children. Climbing the rock will require proper footwear. It is not safe to climb this rock in icy conditions.


This cache is located at the very soutern end of a large rock formation next to Hwy 72.

Going northbound towards Sioux Lookout the cache location is to the left of the highway. An ideal parking spot is about 530 Meters past the cache location on the right. An access road to a gravel pit provides ample parking on solid ground.

Going southbound towards Dryden there is suitable parking spot right at the top of the hill beside the rock. The shoulder has a nice gentle slope allowing you to park right in the ditch. However, keep in mind that during the spring the ditches here are very soft and this parking spot may only be useable during the summer months.

The most practical approach to the cache location is from the south end of the rock. A small animal trail leads to the base of the rock. There the rock shapes a valley which leads all the way to the top. The climb is steep and will require the use of hands. This is best done on a dry day, can be done with difficulty on a wet day and is probably suicidal on an icy day.

Once at the top of the rock go all the way to the southern edge, turn around and face North. Slightly left is a rock ledge with a large horizontal split at the bottom. The cache is located in this crack. One must get on their hands and knees to look for this one and retrieve it.

The contents of the cache are a small notepad with pen and pencil, 4 SIMM sticks, a toothbrush holder and 2 cable ties.
