The Silvery Slocan Heritage Tour is approximately 235kms long. Be
prepared for breath taking senery as you take a step back in time.
The tour will take you through the towns of Nelson, Kalso, New
Denver, as well as through the "Valley of the Ghosts". The loop can
be driven in four hours - with NO CACHING. You MIGHT be able to
find the series of caches in one day but we strongly suggest that
you spend two days as there are so many things to see and do along
the way.
Lemon Creek - located along Hwy 6 in
the beautiful Slocan Valley is said to have had the best placer
gold in the Silvery Slocan. The cache is located at the Lemon Creek
Rest Area, just a short walk from parking. There are picnic tables
if you want to bring along a picnic lunch. Once again, you are
looking for a "typical pirate container".
There are 14 caches that you will need to visit - in any order -
to find
"Silvery Slocan Heritage Tour - Pay
Dirt".
At ten of the cache sites you will find a clue that is written on
the first page of the log book as well as on the lid. Write this
clue down. Four of the caches do not have a clue - but we're not
going to tell you which caches those are.
Since this segment is also a standalone cache, you are of course
welcome to just log this cache if you don't have time to take the
complete tour.
