This may come as a surprise to some of you, but we are losing
two of our more well-known and well-travelled cachers in July as
they move east to Ottawa and greener pastures.

Take this opportunity to come out to say goodbye and good luck
to Junglehair and Tromelin as they start a new life in the
nation's capital. Share some stories about their caching exploits
and join in a toast to our friends.

Reservations have been made under "Manitoba Geocaching" at the
Elephant and Castle Pub and Restaurant in the Delta Hotel,

Junglehair is a Charter Member of Groundspeak and has been
geocaching since March, 2002. She has accumulated over 5,000 cache
finds and has hidden 30 caches in Manitoba, New York State and New
Zealand. She is a respected member of the Manitoba Geocaching
community and has served several years on the MBGA executive, and
had served as the President of NYGO (New York Geocaching
Organization). She has introduced caching to many people including
her mother, known to us as The Old Bat.
Tromelin came to us from La Belle Province and is currently
serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. He has been caching for
almost 4 years and has found over 3,400 caches world wide. He has
hidden 7 geocaches, many of which are in Assiniboine Park and
Forest, including one earth cache in New Zealand. He has just
returned from a 6 month deployment in Sudan and is being
transferred to the Ottawa region. Tromelin is a avid caver and one
of our more physical cachers.
