I Was There...
A Legacy Cache sponsored by GeoWyrm
The Alberta badlands are a unique geological phenomenon‚
one that we are thrilled to share. Take a moment to drink in the
splendour all around you as you wander through the badlands‚
from the flat grasslands of gold and green to the deep cut canyons
with rich colourful layers to the sparkling rivers and lakes.
Every region has ample charm and beauty that leaves a lasting
impression on all who come here. The rugged landscape and often
challenging conditions (no matter what the season) foster strength,
determination and cooperation in the people who choose to live
here. It is that very nature that unites those who worked so hard
to bring about the first mega event in Western Canada.
We are proud to have been a small part of that. We hope the
legacy we leave behind is one that makes us all a little proud,
whether you visited during the event or sometime after we hope that
you and others find the same joy that we will when look back and
think, I was there, when it all began
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.
