Participants

Plans

When I saw this one pop up today, I thought it would be a good chance to get one of the distant geohashes that I need for my minesweeper achievement. This area has always been a favorite place to go for a drive too!. So I decided I would leave about 10:30 am and drive out there. I figured that I would stop in Invermere and have lunch. Then when I got to the hashpoint I was going to pick up two geocaches before coming home.

Expedition

I left the house at 10:30 am. I got to Invermere about 1:00 pm, stopped for lunch and then continued on to Skookumchuk, where the hash point is. I got there about 2:00 pm, the woods at the hash point were fairly thin and it was an easy walk to ground zero. I took a couple of pictures and then walked over to the location of the "b13: dont for get your h20" geocache. From the log files I knew it was around 20 meters from ground zero and near a fence. I searched for about 20 minutes but couldn't find it. The cache owner works at the nearby plant and he saw me looking around and he came over and gave me a hint. Everything clicked, I couldn't believe I missed something so obviously out of place. The cache was very unique and is definitely one of my favorites. The cache owner also placed a second geocache ("b13: the game show") in the area about 200 yards away. It was an easy find, but it was also very unique and it was also one of the largest geocaches I have ever seen. Kudos to the cache owner know as "The Dude"
