Each of the 33 caches is named for a Manitoba community. Most are traditional caches. Two are multi caches where the final is hanging in a shrub directly across the road from the given coordinates. (Read that last sentence again to be sure you understand.) Ten of the caches are puzzles. There are ditches to cross and they may occasionally be wet or snowy - dress accordingly. Above all, we encourage you to enjoy this beautiful area with its multitude of kettle lakes (prairie sloughs) and the critters that call them home.
Austin is a village at the western edge of an extraordinarily flat stretch of land known as the Portage Plains. It hosts an attractive agricultural museum but is best known for the Threshermen's Reunion held there each year during the last week of July.
