Geocache Description:


Greetings and salutations, brave paddlers!! 

Here's another chance to grab yourself a piece of history and stake your claim to the abandoned Stumpy Lake Mine.  Rumor has it an old scruffy prospector left behind the last shiny nugget that Stumpy Lake Mining Company ever extracted.  This little nugget isn't as shiny as the original, so not sure of it's purity.  Either way.... be it real gold, fool's gold or even just a glimmering lump of coal, know that they're all probably equally worthless. 😜

What is valuable though... is the smiley that's waiting inside this imposter of wealth for those brave enough to paddle by.  So quit your stalling and grab your paddlecraft of choice, glide your way through the still-ish waters of Stumpy Lake and stake your claim to glory!

Good luck and may your paddle be swift and your gold be... well... real!! 😁
