Geocache Description:


This cache has been placed for the YYCCAR18 event, held May 25-27, 2018. It has been hidden with the intent that it should not be found prior to noon on May 26, 2018. Caches for the YYCCAR18 event are published early so the geocaching community can plan their search routes before the event starts.

This cache is entered in the Heroes and Villains category.

The illustrious ZooVidaMonkiKitties have joined forces to bring you a power trail in their home turf of West Calgary! They have previously placed geocaches independently, but decided it was time to unite like heroes do for greater strength and POWER!

The Kraken is a legendary sea creature that has shown up in ancient Greek legends (as the Scylla), and in Norwegian stories dating back to the twelfth century. Linnaeus included it in his scientific treatise Systema Naturae in 1735. There is even a video on youtube that speaks about a fossil that may or may not indicate a Krakenesque attack!  Was the Kraken simply a colossal octopus or a giant squid? Scary currents and bubbles caused by underwater volcanic activity? Who knows!

A creature this terrifying certainly would be included in the villain category, but hopefully the cache that kicks off the Heroes and Villains Power Trail YYCCAR18 won’t be categorized as one by you!
