G.P.S. Manitoba Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ztirnats: It's not good for our environment to leave cache litter laying around. Unfortunately that is what will happen, if we cannot get another cacher to pick it up.

Thank you to all who visited our Gnomish Pointy System. R.I.P. G.P.S. Manitoba

Geocache Description:


A GPS (Gnomish Pointy System) is a stone landmark or cairn built by gnomes, used by the gnomes, and other peoples of the Arctic region of North America. These structures are found from Alaska to Greenland. This region, above the Arctic Circle, is dominated by the tundra biome, containing areas with few natural landmarks.

The GPS is used for navigation, as a point of reference, a marker for mining grounds, or as a food cache. The Gnomish in northern Alaska used GPS to assist in the herding of wayward elves into contained areas. GPS vary in shape and size, with deep roots in the Gnomish culture.

Historically the most common type of GPS is a single stone positioned in an upright manner. A GPS is often confused with an GGPS (Gnomish Gnome Pointy System), a cairn representing a gnome figure. There is some debate as to whether the appearance of gnome- or cross-shaped cairns developed in the Gnomish culture before the arrival of Gneevil’s ancestors.
