This Canada's first Geocache and is located about 30 minutes from Halifax on a major highway. It is not difficult, but is meant to attract people using one of our main routes in NS. It is only a few minutes walk from the highway and is in a LARGE ammo can. Take some fly dope !!! This cache was originaly named GC41 but was relisted as GCBBA when caches were taken out of the (GC.com) site admin account and given to individuals. A typing error also occured at that time. The date of 28 Jun 2000 was changed to 18 Jun 2000. The date has been corrected to reflect the original cache placement date of 28 Jun/00. On 24th June/06 a geostone giving the details and co-ordinates of GCBBA was unveiled at an Event at Graves Island Provincial Park. The geostone is near the Administration Building in Graves Island Park, which is about 7 Km west of this site on Highway #3. A short drive, with easy access to the Park.This geostone was built and designed by Wallace_River. The sale of "Canada's First Geocache" geocoin paid for the Event. Still in the works is plans for a plaque to be placed at the actual site of GCBBA. C A U T I O N - For some time now I have been suspicious that someone has been removing geocoins from this site. I recommend that anyone wanting to have a coin visit this cache to just "drop" it, and remove right away.
