Geocache Description:

You are searching for a cameoed pill container that contains a Log/Cache-note only. Please bring your favorite witting implement. The cache is hidden on Christensen Road ( a Correction Line), South West of Saskatoon.


Under "The Dominion Land Survey system"  the east and west edges of townships, called "range lines", are meridians of longitude, they converge towards the North Pole. Therefore, the north edge of every township is slightly shorter than the south. Only along the baselines do townships have their nominal width from east to west. The two townships to the north of a baseline gradually narrow as one moves north, and the two to the south gradually widen as one moves south. Halfway between two base lines, wider-than- nominal townships abut narrower-than-nominal townships. The east and west boundaries of these townships therefore do not align, and north–south roads that follow the survey system have to jog to the east or west. These east–west lines halfway between baselines are called "correction lines".  <Wikipedia>



"This cache is placed for the SCAR2014 event, and  should not  be sought out until  after 5:30pm  on June 20th and any logs before that time and date will not be appreciated."
