Along the shoreline west of Blacks Point Beach, Lake Winnipeg

I was a little surprised to find that there were no caches in Grindstone Provincial Park, which either means that nobody in this cottage community is a cacher or they haven't bothered to plant any. Either way, I have planted the first cache for the area. Woo hoo.

I took some effort in preparing this cache so be warned that you are NOT looking for a camoed container or the like. This cache is designed to blend seamlessly into the surrounding geography. I've hidden it in plain sight, you just have to let go of you caching preconceptions and be perceptive. You drove a long ways to get here. Don't go home empty handed.

You can drive to within a few hundred meters of the cache. Resist the urge to pull over on the side of the road and bushwack 600 m through the bush. Turn right at the General store (you can purchase a provincial park day-pass here) and park at 50 14 245 N 96 44.975 W.

It is very small. Nano is a better description than Micro. However, the vessel is about the size of a softball. (if you find it, you'll understand. Just look for the softball first, then the nano.

The cache contains only an inch-wide, tightly rolled log sheet. No pencil. No room for trades. Your reward is the hunt(hopefully you find it satisfying) Please replace the capsule just as you found it. The cache is waterproof if replaced with care.

I can send a FTF certificate via email if you manage to bag this one. You'll need to contact me with a specific description of the cache to prove you found it.

Please publish NO SPOILERS. I find the satisfaction of a successful hunt is diminished if someone has told you exactly what to do. Allow others to experience the frustration and success for themselves.

Good luck!

The cache is still there, but it was wet as a result of not being carefully replaced. It's dry and replaced, so happy hunting. Please replace with care!

Looked and looked. Even the clue did not help. Pretty sure I would have found it.

I suspect this cache has been taken by Mother Nature or is in the flood waters very nearby.

Could be so well disguised that I missed it, however I am doubtful. Will the cache owner please confirm that it is still there - when you get a chance.

The weather was getting better and we had a great stroll along the beach. The lake was quite calm. Talked to several muggles just out of sight of the cache. Great camo/hide. Thanks for the cache.
