Geocache Description:

We figured it was time for Keoma to have its own geocache.

 

Keoma was established in 1910. According to our Alberta Town Names book, and the Rocky View website, Keoma is a Native American word for "far away." It's only 25 KM from Airdrie and 35 KM from Calgary's town centre, but it really does have a "middle of nowhere" type feeling as you drive through the town.
 


Apparently, it is also the name of a 1976 Spaghetti Western film. Who knew?

 

In any case, it's a pleasant drive out here, and to the East are plenty of wetlands and ponds/small lakes.
