K-Pom Catches a Movie (or ten) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

DougyB: This series of 43 caches was put out to entice Kathy (K-Pom) to make some diversions from her daily commute across Highway 7 in order to do something she loved – geocaching. It was placed for fun, but also to honour a effervescent member of our caching community.

Sadly for us, Kathy left this earthly realm in April of this year. After much consideration, I have decided to archive this series, in part to free up space so that others may place more caches. I will be by over the coming weeks to collect the containers and log sheets.

I was very happy that Kathy was able to find all of these caches and that they brought many smiles to her face. Both Kathy and I loved all of the comments that were posted over the last 3+ years. Thanks to everyone who visited these caches.
