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 (of
SK) 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.
