Bowmanville Church Search Multi-Cache
JUNGLE J: A long multi, this cache was rarely done, and once more the final has been taken away by persons unknown. As a result, I am closing it down. Thanks to the brave souls who chased it down over the past 5 years or so! Jungle J
Bowmanville Church Search
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
A short drive and walk cache, which can be walked completely or biked if you wish. Through and around the town of Bowmanville. Each "stop" is very brief, except the one for the final hidden cache, which is a small container with log and pencil.
The final cache - and this cache description-have been changed in January 2008, because of changes in the environment beyond my control. Make sure you have this updated description and you will be fine!
Follow each of the "stops" given below and collect the information from the main identifying sign on each church. The order is not critical but the order given is most logical. Do a quick count, or record a word or two at each stop, then after the fifth church you can do the math and go walking to the final cache.
Lots of muggles about the final cache area, so take care. Also, maybe avoid Thursday Evenings between mid-June and early September because there are free concerts and hundreds of people in this vicinity during those evening periods. Come enjoy the music yourself!
