Welcome to the GeoVenture 2017 Canada 150 series of caches. Geoventure is an annual GeoCaching family weekend** hosted by the Manitoba Geocaching Association. The first year listed was in 2007, held in Birds Hill Park, with the challenge, a hold your GPS, bush crashing, swamp crossing adventure, created by mtolympus.
Some of the geocaches in this series ‘may’ be near poison ivy. In the spring, ticks are also a possibility. Some of the roads used may be difficult to drive in the winter, during spring melt or after heavy rains. Please take the usual precautions.

Quelques-une des rues seront difficiles à naviguer durant l’hiver, la fonte printanière, ou après des fortes pluies. Veuillez prendre les précautions nécessaires.
