The clues are elementary. They clearly lead to one place and one conclusion. Huble! The historic homestead is exactly the spot this complex mystery has its comeuppance.
Historic Huble Homestead has become a leading suspect in this weekend's summer fun as it hosts Sherlock Saturday, a brain teaser of an event for the whole family.
"If you enjoy finding clues and solving puzzles, you'll enjoy this self-led excursion," said Krystal Leason, executive director of the Huble Homestead/Giscome Portage Heritage Society. "This inexpensive, fun-filled activity can be done as a family, a group of friends, or on your own."
To get caught up in this mystery, arrive at the living museum site prior to 11 a.m. on Saturday and make your way into the Seebach & Huble General Merchandise store.
The first tasks in this investigation are kept there.
"Get your first clue and spend some time trying to crack the case by following clues, finding evidence and cracking codes throughout the site," said Leason.
"Don't worry, the staff will be on hand to help with hints and pointers."
Huble Homestead is located a 30 minute drive north of Prince George. Make your way up Highway 97 past Salmon Valley, then turn off on Mitchell Road (you can't miss the large highway sign) to continue another six kilometres down a well-maintained dirt road to the site of this turn-of-the-20th-century farming settlement and ages-old First Nations fish camp and portage trail.
Huble Homestead is dog friendly and open daily for guided tours, shopping in the general store and special events.
Enjoy a picnic or purchase lunch from the barbecue as you relax in the fresh air.
Admission is by donation with a recommended amount of $10 per family.
