Geocache Description:

A camoed lock'n'lock.  The tabs have become too old to stay closed, so the container is in an ice cream pail.  A large stone is on the pail so that it doesn't blow away in the prairie winds.  Please replace things back as they should be.


Last week I was out caching (surprise!) and tried to do crackerjackie's Radio Ga Ga cache, GC3GJNT, but only found a huge backhoe and a fallen radio tower.  By the time I got home crackerjackie had archived the cache as the person who took down the tower quite graciously contacted her to say the cache was safe but the site was no more.  I grabbed the container from him yesterday and decided to put it by the largest radio tower in our neck of the woods.  He showed me the video of the tower coming down.

You can view the tower falling at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqu2kH8S5H4

Thank you Restiaux for saving the cache!

The container has all the tradeables that were in it when it was rescued.

The CBW tower was set up to broadcast CBC Winnipeg, AM 990, the only clear channel radio station in Manitoba.  The tower is the second tallest structure in Manitoba, the tallest being the CKX tower outside of Brandon.

The cache was hidden on Manitoba Day, May 12, 2016.
