5,000 Days of Geocaching in Manitoba Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Stonagal: Many thanks to Mustash for his faithful stewardship of this cache after I moved away. On at least two occasions he performed needed maintenance and kept this going. But time marches on, and another 1,000 days have almost come and gone since this one was hidden. So it is time to make way for a new cache and a new milestone. Thanks to all who found it over the last few years.

Geocache Description:

This cache was hidden to commemorate Manitoba's first geocache and the 5,000th day of caching in Manitoba (October 14, 2014).


The original “GPS Stash” was hidden on May 3, 2000 in northern Oregon by a guy named Dave Ulmer. Manitoba joined the geocaching world nine months later, when Brian Drader placed one in his Winnipeg front yard on February 5, 2001. He moved with his family to Killarney, Manitoba in the summer of 2004, rehiding the cache in his new front yard. More than 13.5 years later, C1BUA – cache 1n a builtup area remains the oldest geocache in Manitoba. On October 14, 2014, 4,999 days will have passed after its original placement in Winnipeg, marking 5,000 days of geocaching in Manitoba.

Park in the Nature Playground lot for quickest access. Depending on how thick the foliage is, you may be visible from the path to the north, so please be stealthy. The cover in this area can affect your GPS signal, so use the hint to help focus your search. Please cover the cache back up after you find it.

Congratulations to Tracker 70 for the FTF!
Congratulations also to auburn417, brettmunday, ZZeuss, Hockey3, and shshay7878 for finding your first caches!
