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.
Fish Lake offers a great rest stop. It
is located approx. 28 kms West of Kaslo or 13.5 kms East of New
Denver is also located in the Valley of the Ghosts. It is a
peaceful spot with picnic tables near the lake. Bring a fishing rod
and try your luck if you have the time.
The cache is hidden along an old road that is above the rest
area and away from "the crowd". You are looking for a small lock
and lock 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.
