Superman is a 1978 superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Richard Donner directed the film, which stars Christopher Reeve as Superman, as well as Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford, Phyllis Thaxter, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure, Valerie Perrine and Ned Beatty. The film depicts the origin of Superman, from infancy as Kal-El of Krypton and growing up in Smallville. Disguised as reporter Clark Kent, he adopts a mild-mannered attitude in Metropolis and develops a romance with Lois Lane, while battling the villainous Lex Luthor. Production moved to Alberta, Canada for scenes set in Smallville, with the cemetery scene filmed in the canyon of Beynon, Alberta, the high school football scenes at Barons, Alberta, and the Kent farm constructed at Blackie, Alberta. The movie mentioned here was filmed partly in the Canadian Badlands, but not necessarily at this location.

This cache is part of the Legacy Trail produced by the Canadian Badlands Geocaching Association for the Best of the Bad Mega Event.

The Legacy Trail

The Legacy Trail is a collection of geocaches that circles its way over 100 miles on country roads traversing some of the most scenic and spectacular landscape in this part of the Canadian Badlands. A large number of caches in a variety of types, sizes and difficulty are placed on the Trail. Every town, village and hamlet in the Canadian Badlands has its own cache. Some caches were named after local historic events and people, as well as celebrities who grew up in this area. Some caches were sponsored by geocachers who attended the Best of the Bad Mega Event. The Legacy Trail was produced by the Canadian Badlands Geocaching Association for the Best of the Bad Mega Event.

The Canadian Badlands

The Canadian Badlands in Alberta are like no other place on earth, home to the world's most extensive dinosaur bonebeds, badlands and hoodoos, and a world-class museum that shelters a 75 million-year-old legacy. The region is rich in culturally and historically significant sites that tell the story of the First Nations people and early settlers, and of a complex and diverse modern society that is still deeply rooted in the spirit of the frontier.
