Driving on Lac Ste Anne Ice to Find Farming Island Geocaches

Geocaching CarTrip LacSteAnne

Hugh and I were planning on walking over the ice to the caches on Farming Island on Lac St Anne. But we saw ice fishers on the ice, so we drove instead. On a sad note, it was during this outing that I lost the micro-spikes from one foot and only realized probably 20 mins after it went missing. Finding it in the snow and scrub brush we’d been though on the island would have been difficult indeed. It’s the cost of doing business, I guess.

Grande Cache in the distance as seen from the summit of Mt. Louis Mt. Louie (elevation 1844 m / 6050 ft.) is one of the six Bronze mountains in Grande Cache’s now defunct “Passport to the Peaks” program. During the 5.5 km (one way), sometimes challenging hike to the summit, there’s an elevation gain of 714 meters and along the way the reward of some breathtaking views of the mountains and valleys that surround Grande Cache.
