Geocache Description:

A short little series highlighting some of the towns, big and small, of Saskatchewan. Most of the information below is taken from wikepedia. I hope you enjoy a quick geography lesson of our lovely province.

Bring your own writting stick


The town is best known for the nearby discovery of a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton nicknamed "Scotty" in 1994. The town has used the discovery of this fossil as the main centrepiece in the construction of a museum called the T. rex Discovery Centre, which opened on May 30, 2000. The centre is operated by the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, and contains the RSM Fossil Research Station. A former resident of Eastend is the writer Wallace Stegner, who lived in the town between 1917 and 1921 and featured it as the village Whitemud in his book Wolf Willow.
