The Silvery Slocan Heritage Tour is approximately 235 kms 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.
The K&S Wagon Road (Kaslo and Sandon)
was heavily used in the late 1800s by wagons hauling ore and supplies. The cache is located very close to an information sign for the old Wagon Road.
You will need to turn off Hwy 31A at N49 57.817 W116 59.548 (keep right at the first fork) and drive approx 2 kms on the forestry road. At this point you will see the turnoff to Buchanan Lookout - don't go that way. (We had plans of hiding an additional cache at the lookout but we couldn't get to the lookout because there was too much snow). High clearance is not required. You will be looking for a large sized lock and lock.
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.
