O Canada #26

“Canadians, like their historians, have spent too much time remembering conflicts, crises, and failures. They forgot the great, quiet continuity of life in a vast and generous land. A cautious people learns from its past; a sensible people can face its future. Canadians, on the whole, are both.” (Desmond Morton)

We hope you enjoy collecting smilies to form the shape of a maple leaf flag framed by hiker foot prints.
It symbolizes how we are blessed to live and cache in a country rich in natural beauty.
We are a cachers paradise with almost 10 million square kilometres of varied landscape and terrain.

The "O Canada" geo-art can be divided into two sections.
  • The two footprints (Left Foot #18-45, 50, Right Foot #85-113), consist of pre-form containers with good clues as to their location, making for quicker finds.
  • The Maple Leaf (#1-17, 46-49, 51-84) is set up as more of a challenge. Cache containers styles are varied in size. Smalls and regulars are filled with swag, and some nano's may take a little hunting.

This Cache is not at the posted coordinates,
but can be highlighted somewhere on this page.

N 49 55.134, W 119 14.834
This is not meant to be a power trail.
Please do not use replacement caches or swap caches. If you can not find the cache "log a DNF".

If a log sheet is damp or full, feel free to change the logsheet or log a "needs maintenance" log.

As always, practice safe caching.
  • Bring a pen.
  • Replace the cache container to its proper place.
  • Please be careful with parking.
