This Creek meanders across the Cariboo Plateau and is approximately 85 kilometres in length. This is just one of many bridges under which it passes in this region. All of these bridges are a great place to birdwatch for king fishers, bobbers and other birds.
Geocaching is a wonderful way to ‘explore’ any area. And if you’ve been around young children then you’re familiar with this cache guardian & companion ‘Boots’. As often happens when they go to venture across a bridge, the ‘Grumpy Old Troll’ dwelling beneath, challenges them with a solving a riddle before they can continue on their way. So to successfully make this find, answer the questions below to arrive at the coordinates. (Here’s hoping Swiper hasn’t found the cache.)

There is no need to remove the guardian, please replace as found for others to enjoy.
This is a public dirt road that is plowed in the winter, muddy in the Spring and dusty in the summer. This road is bordered by private property defined by an old barb wire fence, there is no need to cross the fence and please be aware there is barbwire hidden by grass or trees near the caches. Please search carefully. Though it is a public road, it passes through a farm at the other end, please be respectful and drive slow to minimize dust in the summer, watch for livestock and ensure that you pull well over to the side to allow any traffic that does come along to pass. Enjoy & cache safely.
