Unforgiven
The Canadian Badlands on the Silver Screen
Unforgiven is a 1992 American Western film produced and directed
by Clint Eastwood with a screenplay written by David Webb Peoples.
The film tells the story of William Munny, an aging outlaw and
killer who takes on one more job years after he had hung up his
guns and turned to farming. A dark Western that deals frankly with
the uglier aspects of violence and the myth of the Old West, it
stars Eastwood in the lead role, with Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman,
and Richard Harris. Much of the cinematography for the film was
shot in Alberta in and around Drumheller.
This cache is part of the Legacy Trail produced by the Canadian
Badlands Geocaching Association for the Best of the Bad Mega
Event.
The Legacy Trail
The Legacy Trail is a collection of geocaches that circles its
way over 100 miles on country roads traversing some of the most
scenic and spectacular landscape in this part of the Canadian
Badlands. A large number of caches in a variety of types, sizes and
difficulty are placed on the Trail. Every town, village and hamlet
in the Canadian Badlands has its own cache. Some caches were named
after local historic events and people, as well as celebrities who
grew up in this area. Some caches were sponsored by geocachers who
attended the Best of the Bad Mega Event. The Legacy Trail was
produced by the Canadian Badlands Geocaching Association for the
Best of the Bad Mega Event.
The Canadian Badlands
The Canadian Badlands in Alberta are like no other place on
earth, home to the world's most extensive dinosaur bonebeds,
badlands and hoodoos, and a world-class museum that shelters a 75
million-year-old legacy. The region is rich in culturally and
historically significant sites that tell the story of the First
Nations people and early settlers, and of a complex and diverse
modern society that is still deeply rooted in the spirit of the
frontier.
