Geocache Description:


This micro cache is truly a Yellowhead cache. Good off-highway parking is provided which should be suitable for cars through large RVs and semis. During World War II, the Canadian government decided that anyone of Japanese origin had to be moved away from the west coast. At the best, this meant uprooting families from where some had lived for generations. At its worst, it meant a huge land and asset grab on the part of many non-Japanese Canadians. This was not a proud moment in our history. This was the site of one of the internment camps. Take time to read the history before searching for the cache. For all its unhappy history, it is a pleasant spot. There is a pencil in the cache, but it's probably a good ideaย to bring your own as well. We placed the original cache in the winter, but your decision to search in thge winter will depend on the snowfall and how you are dressed or shod. The (2.0) in the cache name? This is the 2nd geocache in this area. The original cache (2006 - 2015) was visited by 625 successful geocachers, but BC Parks removed the picnic area, including the picnic table which hosted the original cachebox.
