Welcome to Quebec

The Cache is not at the posted coordinates.



Bienvenue à la série de géocaches célébrant Canada 150 à GeoVenture 2017. GeoVenture est un événement annuel; une fin de semaine** de géocaching pour toute la famille animée par la Manitoba Geocaching Association. La première année de l’événement fut 2007 au Parc Birds Hill. Le défi de géocaches original, un aventure de randonnée à travers la brousse et le marais, fut créé par mtolympus.

Il se peut que certaines géocaches de cette série soient placées à proximité de l’herbe à puces. De plus, des tiques sont possiblement présentes dans le printemps. Quelques-une des rues seront difficiles à naviguer durant l’hiver, la fonte printanière, ou après des fortes pluies. Veuillez prendre les précautions nécessaires.
