Take a nap on the sidewalk, beg for
change, yell at the wall, but whatever you do don’t look like
you’ve found something interesting!
Coins and pins only please – no
baggies!
This small cache is located in the historic Exchange District of
downtown Winnipeg. It's a high-muggle area, so this hidden in plain
view cache has been carefully camouflaged. The cache is suitable
for trading pins and coins.
You must choose your hunt time wisely and be sure to use stealth
when retrieving the cache. If you are spotted it will likely be
muggled and gone for good. Please use care not to be spotted when
rehiding.
With limited sky view it may be difficult to get a good reading,
but Google Satellite images are your friend!

The cache is now located on a bakery
patio in the summer months. This came as somewhat of a
surprise. The patio gate will be closed after hours so access may
be a problem at times. The new owner is happy to have the cache
remain on the patio. Once the snow flies, the patio comes down so
the city can clear the sidewalk.
This will definitely up the difficulty level to retrieve it
without being noticed, but should limit the search somewhat with
the poor GPSr reception here.
There's plenty of great patios and
little restaurants close by, and there's usually something going
on in Old Market Square during the summer. Not to mention the
dozen or so unique art
galleries scattered around The Exchange. If
you've got time to explore, there's distinctive
businesses tucked away here, there and everywhere in the old
warehouses in the area - and not on the main floor either. Watch
for signs! During the Fringe Festival, this area
will be very busy.
This hide was inspired by legendary cacher Curious George of
Victoria, BC.
