Geocache Description:

You’re looking for a small-ish camo’ed lock ’n lock container hidden on Wanisan Trail in the Cooking Lake Blackfoot Recreational Area.

Shawshank Prison is the first in a series of three caches based on a Shawshank Redemption theme, one of my favourite movies. The caches are,

Shawshank Prison
The Oak Tree at Buxton (GC1AJDT)
Zihuatanejo (GC1AJEJ)

Best parking is at N 53° 27.977 W 112° 54.121, which just happens to be the suggested parking for a couple of other great caches, (GC12X24) Blackfoot Back Door and (GC12X2K) Wanisan Point. These are the caches that introduced me to this "backdoor" parking spot, and the area in the first place. A deep bow of thanks goes to Viajero Perdido for this.

Remember, as Andy says to Red in the movie, “Get busy living, or get busy dying”.
