<p>Like the last finder, I visited this after ofth’s nearby virtual. In both cases, hiking boots instead of runners would probably have served me well. Thanks for another cap.</p>

<p>After finding the unique virtual nearby, I circled around the back of the lake and made the short climb up here. Thanks for the cap.</p>

I went back down the road about 50 metres and then went into the woods and up the hill to the cap. There was no difficulty finding the cap once I was in the area. There was a white-tail deer in a clearing ahead of me on the hike up. The antlers were just two small stubs this early in the year.</p>

<p>TFTEC ..( Just a mention...If you go straight up the hill in the scree, instead of finding the trail..it is a workout and reminds you of how old you are.)</p>
<p>1 of 5 today while I was travelling home from Thompson Falls Mo. This was our 5 year reunion of the NALS team that paddled the brigade from Invermere BC to Portland Or.</p>
<p>So why didn`t anyone ever tell me about the Looooooooooooooooooooong weekend traffic crawling bumper to bumper from the border to GKW? Man that was brutal.So I grabbed BCP caches as far as Coleman and called it a day.</p>
<p>Thanks OFTH for the 4 BCP and the really fantastic virtual at the border</p>

<p>After grabbing BC / ALTA Border, I made the short drive over to this cap. I guess at 7 in the morning the brain isn't fully engaged as I decided to scale the rocky slope instead of looking for the simple path up. Found the cap in great shape. Thanks very much for these virtuals.</p>
