An interesting visit to one of Edmonton's lesser known historical sites.
This cache is hiiden in the area of a relatively unknown historical site known as The Camel Humps. The area was the site of a brick factory in the early twentieth century. There are several small hills here that were created by the piling up of waste from the brick making process - mostly clay. Nature being as she is quickly took root. The humps are now covered in vegetation - almost to the point that you can't tell the humps are man-made. Other than the very unnatural placement of the hills it's hard to believe that this area wasn't always like this. There are trails running through the forest, over and around the humps. The cache is hidden very close to one of the small trails.
