Geocache Description:

All trails lead to Dauphin

Ste. Rose 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.

Banded Killifish:

The banded killifish (Fundulus diaphanus) is a North American species of temperate freshwater killifish belonging to the Fundulus genus of the Fundulidae family. The natural geographic range extends fromNewfoundland to South Carolina, and west to Minnesota. It includes the Great Lakes drainages.[1] The banded killifish is the only freshwater killifish found in the northeastern United States. While it is primarily a freshwater species, it can occasionally be found in brackish water.
