This Meet and Greet is hosted in conjunction with the David
Thompson Columbia Brigade in Kettle Falls, Washington - on June 18,
2011 - at approximately 2 pm.
The David Thompson Columbia Brigade is following the route taken by
David Thompson, in 1811, that opened up the transcontinental fur
trade route that was used for over 50 years. As many as twelve,
six-man North Canoes will be paddling from Invermere, British
Columbia Canada to Astoria, Oregon USA, where they will land on
July 15th - 200 years to the day that David Thompson landed
there.
Take advantage of
this Meet and Greet to visit with old geocaching friends and make
new acquaintances. There are geocachers on the Brigade from
Alberta, British Columbia, Washington and Wisconsin so this is an
excellent opportunity to expand your circle of 'geocaching
friends'. The Related Web
Page contains information about additional geocaching events
being held in conjunction with the David Thompson Columbia Brigade
Geocachers. A tent will be set up with geocoins for discovery
and trades. Look for the DTCB Geocaching Headquarters banner and
the IE Chapter WSGA banner for the sign in.
32 caches can be
found within a 10 mile radius of the event site. Who knows, by
event time, there may be more!
Please place this
cache page on your watchlist! Additional details will be added as
they are learned. Each event along the route will have door prize
draws and free swag. The David Thompson Columbia Brigade Geocachers
have worked hard to invite the local organizations like the IE
Chapter to participate in their journey. This cache event will
coordinate with a series of events on the Columbia River. See other
