On the banks of the mighty St. Lawrence, perched upon a hill, Château Frontenac towers above Québec City as its metaphorical gateway. The colossal structure—equipped with chimneys, spires, turrets, and towers—resembles something from a fantasy novel!
Join us as we’re en route to the Great White North for the Geocache of the Week: GC46BZ4, Château en vue (Castle view)!

A golden ammo box full of juicy geocaching secrets travels around France! A beloved German geocaching rock band retires after 10 years! A wheelchair-bound geocacher simultaneously nabs his first T5 and his 1,000th cache!
Geocachers have always done great things and this past year was no exception. Here are some of the most phenomenal geocaching community stories from 2017.
Just in time for the beginning of the best weather to travel north, is our Geocache of the Week GC5803. The geocache titled, “As North As It Gets!” takes you up to N. 82 degrees.
Besides the wolf above, cachers who’ve logged GC5803 say you’ll also be walking among foxes, lemmings and even polar bears. The cache is just outside what’s reported to be the northernmost permanently inhabited place on earth: Alert, Canada. The Canadian Air Force staffs a station there. Temperatures in Alert average about -30 degrees Celsius most of the year.
Now is the perfect opportunity to plan your northern caching adventure. July is typically the warmest month. The snow melts to reveal a rocky terrain of jagged shale. Temperatures average a scorching six degrees Celsius (42 Fahrenheit). You could be among the nearly two dozen geocachers to earn a smiley for logging this cache and take away memories of a rarely visited northern landscape.
