Geocache Description:

All trails lead to Dauphin

Ethelbert to Ashville 

 

All trails lead to Dauphin this summer for GC59ZQW Country Legends 2015 (WestCan5).  A series of trails has been created to connect some of the main highways in Manitoba that pass thru Dauphin.


This is what you can expect on this trail:  The caches are approximately placed 2 to 4 miles apart and are usually no more than 500 feet from the highway. Cache containers are micros and larger.  There will be a mix of container types and some will be winter friendly and some won't. For this reason there won't be a winter attribute at all because of snow levels on the sides of the roads in the winter will vary.  Some of the caches will require you to walk thru ditches so depending on time of year and water levels rubber boots might be a good idea.

Fishing is a big part of Manitoba so we will be naming the caches on this leg of the trail after fish species that can be found here.

Mooneye:

The mooneyes are a family, the Hiodontidae, of ray-finned fish comprising two living and three extinct[1] species in the genus Hiodon. They are large-eyed, fork-tailed fish that physically resemble shads. Their common name comes from the metallic gold or silver shine of their eyes.
