Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

The MB series is a collection of micros placed along several all-weather grid roads in the prairie east of Highway 10 and north of Brandon, Manitoba.   All caches are beside roads - no fences to cross, no bushwhacking, no hiking.


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.

Russell, located at the intersection of Highway 83 and Yellowhead Highway 16, is at the heart of a region dominated by cattle ranching and grain farming.  The annual celebration of this industry is the Beef and Barley Festival held in October.  The town center is enhanced by a set of eight wooden arches that rise over the main street.
