The Tulameen Turtles Annual Caching Endeavour will this year
lead you through the historic Similkameen Valley highlighting the
areas of historical importance. They will be working again with the
local musuem & historians to identify the areas that have the
stories to tell and help you walk through history on a virtual
caching history tour.
The Great Coal Rush of 2009 the had approximately 150 cachers
attend the event, this year they estimate between 250-300 Cachers
will be attending. There will be 4 different “runs” and
each person that is joining them that weekend will have their
itenerary based on what they are able to do.
There will also be activities such as Pancake Breakfasts, Movie
Nights Under the Stars and other things - one of our goals is to
ensure that the non caching family members can enjoy the weekend as
well.
Base Camp will be at the Princeton Fairgrounds! And we will be
helping to Celbrate Princeton's 150th Birthday!
Included will be:
•Car Friendly – Which means that you require no
special equipment to get these caches, as well as there are no
mobility issues. (So no grinding hikes)
•Hiking Caches – These caches will require you to put
some > effort into obtaining the caches through distance or a
grind
•4x4 Caches – These Caches appeal to the offroader, but
no special equipment is need – they just need a bit more
clearance then the average Honda Civic has (Unless you are
Grafinator!)
•Whipsaw Run – The Whipsaw Run will be over the Whipsaw
Trail – it is one of the best rated trails in North America
and offers some amazing Locations to see and a few unique
challenges. Quads will be very welcome on this portion. If you are
wanting to be guided this run will be occuring on Saturday for
those that would like to do it as a group. If you are not going
with the group you will require a minimum of 2 vehicles.
Cost to attend is $5 per adult, Children under 18 are
free.
This cost covers the basics of location & supplies to run the
event.
