Geocache Description:


This area can be accessed from Highway 55 or a trailhead off the abandoned rail bed near "I'm Stumped" (GC9E1X7).

At the "Crossroads", head:

North - steep, technical trails

South - trail to rail bed

East - Highway 55

West - rustic picnic area

You are looking for a camoed bison tube.

Saskamanda and I are placing powertrails in the Big River area to attract more cachers to the area and perhaps entice locals to discover the fun of geocaching.  

Charlie trail follows an abandoned rail bed, easily accessible from the Town of Big River by ATV, snowmobile, and ambitious hikers.  There is plenty of wildlife in the area including deer, moose, and bear.  Please take appropriate precautions when caching this trail.  Bring your own writing tool.  Other tools may be handy as well!

The difficulty of this series is higher because we've noticed locking on to GPS coordinates is a bit challenging in this area.  These coordinates were confirmed by two devices and the accuracy is typically +/- 5m.  If you find your coordinates differ significantly, please post them in the log to help others.

I hope you enjoy caching Big River and the Cowan Lake area!
