Ladies and gentlemen! Start your engines! The Fall 2015 Cache and Release weekend is coming and we're raring to go! This is a fun, two-day celebration of geocaching excellence - for the entire family, novice or experienced! You're all welcome to join us!
We'll start the day at 9:00 am with our drive-thru pit-lane! All vehicles can be be back out on the road as soon as they have passed through the pit stop. We expect everyone will be jockeying for FTF positions at other caches by 10:00am.
Please bring your Cache and Release travel mugs as we will be providing free Tim Hortons coffee and tea to help get your day started right!
We're starting our weekend early so you can be on the road more, and finding caches for longer, with time left over on Sunday for the other things in our lives! Please do not start looking for CCARF15 caches until 10:00am on Saturday 26th September, 2015!
Come down to the parking lot at the posted coordinates (721 46th Ave SE - at the corner of Blackfoot Trail SE), and get your car and passengers ready for a two-day marathon of geocaching goodness! Join the line that wraps around the building and wait to be called to the front - stay in your vehicle as things will move fast! You'll be outta here afore ye know it!
There'll be plenty of new, inventive caches to find, and lots of fun camaraderie along the way, you'll need tons of energy so get a good night's rest the day before, we don't want you flagging before the finish line!
You will also receive a CITO-all-Day™ kit that we hope you'll use to collect trash as you wind your way around Calgary's debris-filled ditches and trash-littered terrain.
Once you start seeking out the caches that have been hidden for CCARF15, keep note of your favourite from each category for, after the weekend we will ask you to vote for those you consider to be the best!

Pimp Your Ride!
Get your vehicles ready for Cache and Release before you show up! Whether you’re CCAR-pooling or a convoy of one, it’s nice to be recognised! See that car up ahead? Is it? Could it be? Are they? Who was that?! Pull out all your old Cache and Release decorations (car flags, mirror covers, decals etc.) and decorate your car. The crazier, the better! Don’t forget to write your team name(s) on the windows and set your odometers to zero!
Now what?!
Other things to remember: Your Cache and Release travel mug, your Cache and Release lanyard, your donuts and jerky, water, and to turn your car radio on!
Once you have given a cheery wave to our pit crew, you are on your way! We’re giving you as much time as possible to reassemble your convoys, get your maps turned right-way up, and vamoose to where you need to be before the 26-hour finding frenzy starts at 10:00am! (You will receive some additional CCARF15 info at this event and we’ll make a printable map available a day or two prior to the weekend.)
You'll appreciate a chance to regroup, stretch your legs, and refuel your bodies, at midnight, at our favourite midnight Pit Stop - the Blackfoot Truck Stop and Diner. We’ve also got a FREE picnic on Sunday at 12-noon! We look forward to seeing you whenever you can join in!
Please log a will-attend on this event so we can better gauge numbers.
*We’d like to make the CITO-all-Day™ a regular thing, so we kindly ask that you return your CITO kit bags at the Clean-Up/Wrap-Up event or any time afterwards if you are unable to attend, so we can refill them and get them ready for the next event.
