Geocaching and the September Photo Contest

Good morning everyone. It feels weird not starting off with some stat about an old cache or a high favorite. I'll have to come up with something new to occupy this space.

On to the matter at hand, the photo contest. First up are the entries for August. First up is FITO 81. He found a cache at Cala Reona in Cartagena, Spain.

Next is MWDL with their 500th find on a mini power trail, just North of Winnipeg.

Thank you to both entrants. Here are the prize package options the winner get to pick from.

Prize package #1: a trackable medallion and a pathtag donated by Hakliva. You can catch her monthly adventures here > Hakliva

Prize package #2: a trackable Christmas tree and a pathtag donated by Hakliva.

Prize package #3: a Cache Canada trackable and a pathtag donated by Hakliva.

I entered the names into the wheel of names...

Gave the wheel a spin, and the winner is....

FITO. Congratulations. I'll be in touch to get your prize selection and your mailing address.

There is a photo contest for September, but there are no guarantees after that. Depending on how September goes, the contest could be going on hiatus after that. There is no theme, just take a picture of a geocache you found. Easy peasy.

That's it for this week. Until next time, be happy, stay safe, wash your hands and wear a mask, get vaccinated, hug your pets, and most importantly, just have fun. Peace out ✌

There's always just one more picture, or in this case, two pictures. This was a double field puzzle. First was to get the coordinates to arrive here. Now to figure out how to open all three locks.

Geocaching and July, 2022

Good morning everyone. Last month I was a little late in getting that month's blog published, but this month I want to get this out early. I'll explain why later. July has been an interesting month. I've been on a few adventures, rode my bike, and I've been hosting a weekly themed event. July started off with Auntie Mo and myself going on a spur of the moment road trip into the Southeast portion of Manitoba to do an Adventure Lab that takes us to some roadside attractions. There was other ALs to do as well. (big Buffalo in Grunthal, Manitoba) (big deer in Saint Malo, Manitoba) Later in the month, I tagged along with Auntie Mo as she did the four Adventure Labs in the East part of Winnipeg. I had done them already, but I couldn't resist giving Auntie Mo a tour of Transcona. This also helped set her up to be close enough to claim her 800th find while she visits family back home in Nova Scotia. As I write this, she has reach...

Geocaching and June, 2022

Good morning everyone. Better late than never. I had started writing this with intentions of having it ready and published on the first Sunday of the month. I got pulled away and never came back to complete this. We've reached the half way point of 2022. How's your year so far? Comparing numbers, I only went out geocaching on six days in June. Two of the six days produced some decent numbers for finds. One of those days was traveling down to the Pembina Valley area of Manitoba. This is situated towards the U.S. border. Myself and my caching friend, Auntie Mo, attended a Community Celebration event at a location that I didn't know existed. Thanks to geocaching, I now know about it and have been there. This place is called Woodhenge. There's nothing wooden about this location other than the trees that surround it. You can read more about the creation of Woodhenge and the person behind it here > Woodhenge My p...

Geocaching and April, 2022

Good morning everyone. Another month has passed by. Time to look back on April. During the week leading up to today, I started my reflection of April so I could have an idea of what to write about. It was then that I realized what a train wreck this past month was. Aside from a CITO and an ice cream event during the first weekend, and before the new GCHQ promotion, I have done zero geocaching. That's a big zip, nothing, goose egg. There was two CITO events that were postponed because of the weather. I did manage one more CITO two days ago (Friday). That's three events and not a single geocache found. I don't even have any pictures to share. Despite the rainy weather again, I set out yesterday (Saturday) to find at least one physical geocache. Part of the reason for not getting any geocaching in was because of the weather this month. Just before Easter, we were hit with a weather system known as a Colorado Low. These...
