TAKE YOUR CAMERA'S. The area is City of Winnipeg green zone! A project of the Henteleff Park Foundation, it will eventually be a 29-acre park of walking trails, picnic sites and interpretive areas. This is a great Spring Fever Cache. First it features a great walk with a real path, 2nd it has a great view of the river melting up, 3rd it is the site of a former greenhouse acreage known as the Henteleff Nursery 4th families can enjoy the playground on the way (if you park where we did).

This cache is dedicated to the memory of Queen’s Dad who passed gently from this life to the next on Easter Sunday morning in 1994.

Childhood homemade whistles
Charming front porch chairs
Choosing whips for wiener roasts
Chattering squirrels above
Chancing limbs to climb
Checking sticks to carve
Challenging to cache in
Cheering when it’s found!

Hope you catch the FEVER like we have! From our parking spot it was a comfortable ½ mile walk – no bushwackin’ but a little snow stompin’. Hopefully you’ll have to use puddle-jumpin’ boots by the time this cache is listed! Cache was originally well hidden. Look carefully. Watch for muggles and duck down if necessary.
