Geocache Description:


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.

Kaslo
a picturesque city isolated on the North arm of Kootenay Lake. It is the home of the restored paddle wheeler the S.S. Moyie - the oldest surviving passenger sternwheeler in the world. We highly recommend that you take a tour of this vessel which has been restored to it's former glory. In fact we have included a FTF certificate for one free admission to the vessel. (If you don't have time to visit the S.S. Moyie please leave the certificate for the next visitor.) The cache is hidden near a turn out off of Hwy 31 South of Kaslo where you will find information signs for the Silvery Slocan Heritage Tour. You are looking for a regular size lock n' 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.
