Geocache Description:

Time to lose some winter weight and get out and about in the Valley! Wake up and smell the land mines!

All Upper Ottawa Valley geocachers are encouraged to hide a few new caches for the Upper Ottawa Valley Cache Challenge (heretoafter referred to as UOVCC) but if you can't manage that you are still most welcome to attend. However, the more caches hidden, the more fun we'll have. Plenty of time to get 15-20 new caches hidden. Please note the coordinates given are my one and only owned cache (to date). I attempted to change them to the location of the meeting restaurant (Kelsey's in Petawawa) later on as plans got farther along, but the scripts wouldn't let me because it was too distant from the original coordinates. This limitation should be removed for event caches. The coordinates of Kelsey's Restaurant are:
N 45.890785 °
W 77.2655354 ° Kelsey's

Here is what to do...

  • Get out there and hide one or more caches within a 45 minute drive of Petawawa.
  • Do not register your cache with www.geocaching.com until notified of the finalized date for the event.
    ***   N.B. The finalized date of the event is May 27, 2006!   ***
  • Remember to give the reviewer 10 days to review the cache submission!
  • Remember to leave a note for the reviewer specifying that you'd like the cache released on the Wednesday prior to the day of the event... i.e. Wednesday, May 24, 2006
  • Once approved... but not published... please email me, DrDumbAss, the URL of your new cache page or the Waypoint and I'll add it to a table of links on this page
  • R.S.V.P. so that I have an idea for numbers for a reservation (location to be decided upon by those attending)
  • Then at 6:00 p.m. on the Friday, with your GPSr loaded up with all the new caches, go out and find as many as you can! You're on your honour not to start early, but if there are puzzle caches submitted, feel free to work on these in the comfort of your own home prior to the 6:00 p.m. Friday kickoff!
  • Twenty-four hours later, at 6:00 p.m. Saturday, cease caching and head to Kelsey's restaurant in Petawawa (at the above posted coordinates) to tabulate who found what caches, share our experiences, pig out and get to know one another.

After the event our UOVCC caches will live on and hopefully this event will attract new cachers.
