Notable Residents of the Canadian Badlands
To the north of this cache are the three hills that give the
Town of Three Hills its name. It is also the source of a caching
name for Kevin and Leah Edwards - hillsofthree.
Kevin & Leah are long time residents of Three Hills. Before
they were married, Leah owned the once popular "Froggies" pizza
that unfortunately closed its doors many years ago. Today, they own
a business together and Kevin served on town council for nine
years, six of which he served as the Mayor of Three Hills. Just
spend a few hours with Kevin and Leah, and you will soon learn that
they are a team. Together they have embarked on a number of
different projects, one of which was realizing the tourism
potential for bringing geocachers to the Canadian Badlands, through
the establishment of the Canadian Badlands Geocaching Association
and the Best of the Bad Mega Event. The fact that you are reading
this cache page is a direct result not only of their vision, but
also of their hard work. Kevin and Leah are definitely notable
residents of the Canadian Badlands.
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.
