Geocache Description:

This is another cache in our games series, and honours one of our all-time favourites! Scrabble is now sold in 121 countries and is available in 28 languages.

We really enjoy Scrabble. As children, we began by playing Scrabble Junior, but soon graduated to playing the classic game. While we still get our Scrabble board out regularly, now we are more likely to be playing it online. 

One goal in Scrabble is to get a Bingo, when you use all 7 of your letter tiles in one move, and score a 50 point bonus. This is an improvement added by James Brunet when he began to market this board game, which was created by Alfred M. Butts in 1938. When getting a bingo, often an 8 letter word is formed, with your 7 letters added to a letter in a word already on the board. You will find a few letters in this cache, and we invite you to try to form a 8 letter word from these letters.

The container is camouflaged. It is fairly " winter-friendly", depending on the amount of snow. You may access this trail from either the north or the south trail heads, but the southern one is closest to this cache.
