Esplanade Riel II Traditional Cache
onecrazycanadian: Hi,
This cache has been in need of maintenance for over a month. Due to the lack of response toward the needed maintenance since my last contact, I am archiving the cache. If you do happen to complete the maintenance required and wish to activate the cache again just let me know and I will consider unarchiving it once the issue is resolved.
Thanks!

An esplanade is a long, open, level area, usually next to a river where people may walk. This allows people to promenade along the water front, usually for recreational purposes without having to walk on the river bank.
The Esplanade Riel is a pedestrian bridge located in Winnipeg, Manitoba designed by Colin Douglas Stewart of Wardrop Engineering and Étienne Gaboury, Architect and completed in 2003. It spans the Red River connecting downtown Winnipeg with St. Boniface. It is paired with a vehicular bridge, Provencher Bridge. The bridge is only one of a few in the world in that it has a restaurant (Salisbury House) on it, giving patrons an excellent view of the river. The Esplanade Riel has become a landmark and is used in many promotional materials. The bridge itself is a side-spar cable-stayed bridge. The original drawing, stamped by Étienne Gaboury, rests in the Engineering building of the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. From this bridge you can walk to a number of famous landmarks including The Forks, the Winnipeg Goldeyes ball diamond, the St. Boniface Museum and the soon to be opening Human Rights Museum.
You will be looking for a pouch like container. Will contain a logbook, writing stick, and a few items to trade.
Please be stealthy as this is a very busy place area. My previous cache (Esplanade Riel) lasted just over a year before it got muggled. Please be careful to put the container back exactly as you found it.
There will be a scratch and win lottery ticket for the first to find.
Happy Caching!
