Geocache Description:

Your objective is to find a BIG GUN (Now available Worldwide), that is no longer in use and is resting in a permanent spot. I would love to see some more old cannons, such as those at Valley Forge in Philadelphia.

Since a lot of Americans seem to think that they are now part of Canada , I have changed this cache to be Worldwide now and no longer just for Canada. Might as well give everyone a chance to enjoy logging this one...legitemately. Hopefully the admins won't archive this one.

To log this cache you must:

1) Include a picture of the "BIG" gun with your GPS in the picture. Feel free to include yourself or one of your team members in the picture too. I feel that pictures should be optional, so if you can't include one, then that is ok. I trust you.

2) Indicate the City, Province and Country where it is located, along with the coordinates. Also if it is in a park or some other public place, indicate the name of that. Also include any information about the gun or where/when it was used, if you can find out.

Rules:
--Any sort of BIG GUN will qualify, such as a cannon or something like the one included in the picture.
--A BUG GUN is something that one individual is not able to carry by themselves, and must rest on the ground or other solid object in order to fire.
--The gun must no longer be in use and must be in a permanent resting spot.
--No rifles, hand guns, tanks, planes, etc.
--The gun must be in a public place or atleast visible from a public place. I.e., it may be on someone's front lawn that can be seen from the road, but it can not be in your basement where no one but yourself can see it.
--Only one find per person.
--If someone has already logged a gun, feel free to visit it also and log it yourself too. I stongly feel that duplicate finds by different people should be allowed, otherwise whats the point.

The gun at the above location is in Remembrance Park in Georgetown, Ontario, Canada and there are 2 identical ones in this park. Coordinates for this gun are:
N 43° 38.916 W 079° 55.753
