Geocaching can be a solitary sport, but we like to get together to trade stories, find out about new caches, and meet the people behind those names we see on the cache pages. SEARCH, the South East Alberta Region Cache Hunters, put out enough new caches to keep you busy all weekend and then some. This event is your opportunity to find out more about Medicine Hat and our caches before the weekend begins.
SEARCH (South East Alberta Region Cache Hunters) a registered non-profit Geocaching club in SE Alberta, ran by volunteers. Goal: To make Medicine Hat the top Alberta destination for Geocaching. To get family involvement, physical activity, friendship in our outdoor sport & CITO (Cache In Trash Out). Promote Geocaching within our community, by providing events, quality caches & opportunities to learn about Geocaching!

Part of Geocaching is to leave the area better then you found it so the welcome event package includes a garbage bag. Finish up the SAW 8 weekend by bringing your bags of litter to the firecircle at Police Point Park. After tidying our "playing field" all weekend, you deserve a treat. We will have the fire burning and smokies and dogs to roast. Gather about 11:30 a.m. We will take a group picture and finish by 1:00 p.m. so those travelling can head home in good time. Of course you are welcome to stay and visit, or do more caching!! Location: Police Point Nature Center
