Geocache Description:


The problem with naming caches and finder's cards before heading out is that if you can't find the place that fits the name or you put them in the wrong place, you look a bit foolish. For the Ole Buck Trail caches, they were cleverly named East and West and it wasn't until arrival at the west location that it was realized that the West cache was already placed in the east location. Hmmm... long walk back or edit the name??? Now the name is explained. The West cache is in the east and the East cache is in the west.

This cache was placed along the Ole Buck Trail that can be accessed from the Sibbald Lake PRA parking area or the Sibbald Viewpoint parking area using the Sibbald Forest Exhibit Trail until you cross the bridge over Bateman Creek to the Old Buck Trail loop. The return hike is about 4.4km with an elevation gain of just under 150m while using the complete loop trail.

Snowshoe Trail





This cache is a camo taped 600ml LnL that was placed under 2km from parking using the counter clockwise direction. It contains $5 and a finder's card for the first to find, finder's cards for the next 9 finders, pencils, a logbook and a bit of swag. Come out and take in the views. Snowshoes would be of help during the winter months. Good Luck!
