This cache is part of a series named after wild berries that are found in the area. Not all are recommended as edible. If you are not sure,
don't pick it....don't eat it!
Although Soapberries look edible, they taste (to me) just like soap when they are processed! First Nations people add sugar to the berries and make a whipped dessert that looks like whipped cream. My daughter tried it and liked it when she was little! It is said to aid with digestion!
You are travelling along the Causeway Forest Service Road (CFSR) running beside Hwy 39 near Mackenzie. FSR’s are used by industrial vehicles as well as by people hunting, fishing, collecting firewood, berry picking etc! Clouds of dust can be picked up by passing vehicles! The caches along this road have been placed where you can easily pull over to allow vehicles to pass! Each cache has a photo showing the parking area! Caches are within metres of parking! You are in bear country, so be Bear Aware! Have fun searching for all of the caches in this series!
There is a bity of a sandy slope climb to access this cache, so the difficulty has been adjusted. This intersection can get busy, so park well over to the side! There is also a view of the mountains, especially from the top of the slope.
REMEMBER TO PICK UP THE CLUE FOR THE BONUS CACHE!
