Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

Up in the remote areas of the Great White North, Christmas gift giving is more practical than in the bigger urban areas. My buddy lives in Maple Lake, where it seems to be -25° with at least 60 cm of snow on the ground for at least three months of the year. His choice of gifts isn’t frivolous but more about comfort, practicality and sanity (it's a lot of long, dark, cold nights). In fact, this year for his true love, he was able to get all his gifts in one day making only nine quick stops.

Stop 1. the local donut shop (the French crullers make great ornaments)
Stop 2. The liquor store for a 24 pack of lager (to help spread the Christmas cheer)
Stop 3. A toque from the sports apparel store (his true love's favourite colour is yellow)
Stop 4. The smoke shop for a festive box of cigars (mostly for the warmth they give)
Stop 5. the convenience store frozen food aisle for a box of French toast griddle cakes (convenient, tasty & easy to store - perfect for stocking stuffers)
Stop 6. The comic book shop for the latest Captain Canuck issue (a great read to cozy up by the fireplace)
Stop 7. Oops, back to the donut shop for a pack of donut holes (for filling all the spaces in the stocking - and for Santa's snack)
Stop 8. Back to the conveneince store for more French toast...just in case (it also makes a great hostess gift)
Stop 9. Lastly, The local outfitters for a couple of trendy turtle necks (gotta be well covered in the winter)
Boy, what a lucky gal she will be this Christmas.
