Geocache Description:

All trails lead to Dauphin

Sifton to Dauphin 

 

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.

Bluegill:

The bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) is a species of freshwater fish sometimes referred to as bream, brim, or copper nose. It is a member of the sunfish family Centrarchidae of the order PerciformesLepomis, in Greek, means "scaled gill cover" and macrochirus means large hand, which may be a reference to its body shape. A defining characteristic of the bluegill is the bright blue edging visible on its gill rakers
