This one is for the kids - Big or Little and we were inspired by one we saw in Anacortes a few years back.
You will be adventuring into a land of imagination where you never know what lies before you - or what's inside that little cage?
You can't see through the outside and we wonder do you dare open the cage to see what's in it?
It could be a fun Bouncy Ball - or It could be a slimy creature??

 Information Obtained from Purposed statement from Ministry of Environment, Environmental Stewardship Division
The Whipsaw Creek Ecological Reserve (ER # 27) was established July 29, 1971 and is 32.4 hectares in size. It is located just west of Highway 3 about 10 km south of Princeton. The surrounding lands have been selectively logged and beetle infested trees have been removed. Lands adjacent to the Whipsaw Ecological Reserve are grazed by livestock but the Whipsaw Creek Ecological Reserve is completely fenced.
The Ecological Reserve encompasses both north- and south-facing slopes. There are variations in aspect and soil texture which result in plant communities ranging from open grassland to fairly dense forest. The grasslands are dominated by big basin sagebrush and Sandberg’s bluegrass. Other flora include sagebrush buttercup, western spring beauty and arrow-leaved balsam-root. The upper south-facing slope supports stands of ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir with big sage and bluebunch wheatgrass. The crest of the ridge supports vegetation transitional between the south and north slopes such as ponderosa pine and pinegrass.

 We know that we can longer make it an Additional Logging Requirement to post the photos in order to claim the cache, but we are asking that you keep with the spirit of the cache & do post them. Princeton is an area rich with History – So many places to see & experience – Here is your list of photos we are asking for you post with yourself in. We guarantee the locations will be well worth visiting.

 Information obtained from: Kettle Valley Railway Mileboards, A Historical Field Guide to the KVR by Joe Smuin, Published by North Kildonan Publications 2003. If you are interested in the KVR we HIGHLY recommend picking up a copy as it contains a wealth of knowledge about every stop along the KVR! It is a section of tracks that is between the Jura & Belfort Stations on your way from Princeton to Osprey Lake.
The station was located at Km 99.3.
A little history (p 2-26 of above book)
