Geocache Description:

The Hills Are Alive with LOTS of caches!!!!


This event is a group cache in the Brandon Hills area. As far as we know, this will be the first event of this type in the area. The cache rating was based on four hours of hiking in the Brandon Hills looking for hidden containers.

The Brandon Hills recreation area has in excess of 15 good caches. The area is excellent for hiking, biking and in the winter, cross-country skiing. Geokids and geopets are more than welcome to join in on the fun!

The listed coordinates are for the parking area. The proposed itinerary is as follows:
  • 10 AM: Meet at listed coordinates and organize
  • 10 to 2: Caching the Hills!!!

So how easy is that? We will have printed lists of all caches in the Hills with their GC numbers and coordinates to hand out to participants. Participants are NOT required to spend the whole four hours caching. Walk or cycle at your own pace and comfort level. We will probably split into two or more groups (depending on the number of participants) and go separate directions. The 2 PM finish time is just a guideline as well. Those who want to stay longer may certainly do so.

Please ensure you bring plenty of WATER with you! Also, note that we are planning to be there over the noon hour. Pack a small trail lunch or stop at a Subway on the way out because we will be eating on the trail!

NOTE: There will not be a gathering for dinner after the caching event as I have some inside information that a SECOND event is to be scheduled for Brandon that evening!!!

UPDATE!! Here is the LINK to the evening event.

is DELETED!!! Caching goes on rain or shine!
