Слайд 17Webster's 1913 dictionary defines cache as: "a hole in the ground,
or hiding place, for concealing and preserving provisions which is inconvenient to carry."
The explorer cached important items (food and gunpowder) for his return trip. The trader could store some of his trade goods for later retrieval. The trapper needed a place to hide his beaver pelts until he was ready to transport them to the markets back east.
A successful cache had to be built in secrecy, in a safe location, and with the utmost care to avoid leaving evidence. Some caches did not succeed. One of the most common reasons was flooding. In the early 1800's only rivers provided main travel routes. Caches built on or near riverbanks were sometimes ruined by rising waters. Some caches were lost to thieves if they were not well guarded during construction or if evidence was carelessly left behind. There may still be some caches out there today waiting to be rediscovered if the original owners hid them so well they couldn't find them again!
