Tanks for the Cache! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Skookum Bear: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if it was missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within a reasonable amount of time, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities. If the cache owner would like to replace a cache at this location, please submit a new geocache listing and it will be reviewed under the current Geocaching guidelines.

Please do not respond to this note by sending an email reply - your response will go to an unmonitored location and disappear into the ether instead of being sent to me. If you need to contact me regarding this cache, please do so using the link on my Profile Page

Thank you for your contribution to geocaching.

Geocache Description:


Originally formed in 1883, the British Columbia Regiment is the oldest military unit in Vancouver. The Drill Hall, where the Regiment parades, is a heritage building located in downtown Vancouver at the corner of Beatty and Dunsmuir. The two tanks in front of the Drill Hall make the Regiment a familiar landmark to the residents of Vancouver. The Regiment has a long history, during which it has been designated as Garrison Artillery, Rifles, Infantry, Armour, and Reconnaissance. In the course of its history, the Regiment has received 34 battle honours. It has been a member of the Armoured Corp since 1942, and since 1965 it has been tasked as Armoured Reconnaissance.

There was a cache here for a long time previously, with many favorites. Eventually it was archived,so I thought to bring it back. Easily accessed from the Stadium Sky train station and taking the escalator up to Beatty Street.

You will find 2 tanks...
