It operated three days per week year-round and connected Cochrane with Moosonee.
During the summer months, the Polar Bear Express dedicated passenger train operated over the same route 6 days per week with no flag stops, whereas the Little Bear was a flag stop train.
York Region Geocachers Club, in association with Kortright Centre for Conservation, hosts the annual YRGC Weekend Geofest each Spring to introduce the general public to our game along with social and interactive opportunities for veteran geocachers. Included in those opportunities we teamed up to present the Geofest Express where all geocache varieties are available for the finding.
We have expanded out of the park to bring you a series of caches from Bolton to the northern edge of Kortright and on surrounding trails. Based on Canadian railways and passenger trains, the Geofest Express geocaches are made up of both `Park and Grabs` and an additional hiking section. No tickets are required on this historic journey. Get on the track to Geofest! ALL ABOARD!
More information on the Geofest Express and YRGC Weekend Geofest found here.
The YRGC appreciates your attendance at Geofest and extend as thanks this new batch of caches for your enjoyment. We hope to see you at Geofest next year!
