GC47ZK5 Ha Ling Peak Victoria Day Flash Mob (Event Cache) in Alberta, Canada created by Sleepy

This cache has been archived.

Sleepy_hollow: I would like to thank everyone for attending this special get together in an elevated spot! My apologies for the timing of the rock slide - I guess the event start time should have been a couple of hours earlier.

I hope to see everyone for the Solstice Event on Jumping Pound Mountain in a little less than a month.
