Cache was originally a green painted small tupperware sandwich container with a logbook, pencil and a few items. Now a micro. This cache was so named because of an argument (lighthearted) the Queen and her main Joker had about the duck or goose mounted high above the ground at this rest stop. So without going up to it guess and then check. Just a little game for bored drivers and kids. Ue hint below for WINTER.
The Yellowhead Highway is named for a fur trader and guide Pierre Bostonais whose nickname in French was Tete Jaune (yellow head). He was a golden haired Iroquois Metis who worked for both the Northwest Company and the Hudson Bay Company at varying times. The highway travels through 5 national parks, 90 provincial parks and 3 national historic sites! It eastern point begins at Mile 0 “The Forks” in Winnipeg, MB, through Yorkton, SK, continues through Edmonton, AB and splits at Tete Jaune Cache. B.C. (a town) where it continues to Prince Rupert to the North and ends on the Queen Charlotte Islands and then to the South – Hope, B.C.. Our series of caches will take you from a small town outside of Winnipeg through to Yorkton, SK. This series of caches are dedicated to our Dad who passed away August 2005, enjoyed caching with us, and travelled the Yellowhead Highway often - both to Manitoba to visit us and up to Prince George, B.C. where he logged in the 1950’s.
