On public land in a residential area, easy terrain. |
This cache is a cammoed 35mm canister with FTF cert., 3 small pins and log book, no writing stick. This is my first cache. I hope you will have time to tour the neighbourhood, it has some beautiful old houses. In the winter you can skate to the cache, well quite close. In the summer it would be a nice area to bike or walk through. Canoeing would also be a possibility. However you come I hope you enjoy it.

Yep, I can confirm that a2g3 indeed signed the logbook 3_Bubbas. You were indeed signing the wrong side as everyone else .
Nonetheless... this is by far the coolest tree I've ever seen. Hell, I didn't even think that there WERE trees this big in Winnipeg! That thing was friggin MASSIVE! Once again, I had an overwhelming urge to climb things again... namely just by grabbing the folds in the bark and going for it. Probably get a damn good view from up there . Almost wish I could have gotten this cache right after "End of the river line", but the water was still breaking up and stuff... noooot exactly safe .
When I arrived, I was utterly overwhelmed with the number of crevaces that a cache could hide inside of. Circled the tree twice, feeling inside of every nook and cranny I could find, and didn't find a thing. Crouched down and kinda looked at the tree and thought for a minute or so, and then in the corner of my eye, I spotted a camo'd micro container lying on the ground, mostly covered by leaves (again), beside the tree. This is the second micro container I've found lying on the ground after it's fallen from... wherever (One of the Conquista's was the other one). Sometimes... blind luck seems to help me here and there .
Not knowing where exactly it came from, I signed it (and micromail-balled it), and put it back in what would be the most likely location, given what side of the tree I had found it on. Hope it's correct, anyway.
But yes... awesome tree. I took several pictures of it (see attached).
