Saskatchewan is a vast and beautiful province that stretches both far and wide. This Challenge Cache is intended to get you out there to explore and discover all that Saskatchewan has to offer. The province has been legally divided into roughly 800 Rural and Urban Municipalities and Local Improvement Districts; however, project-gc has divided Saskatchewan into eighteen larger Divisions or Counties consistent with Saskatchewan's eighteen census divisions. A map highlighting those divisions/counties in which you have found at least one cache may be viewed at the bottom of this cache listing, or on project-gc.com, by following the links to Regions and Counties under the Maps tab. A map, or maps of the eighteen census divisions may also be found on Wikipedia. The eighteen Saskatchewan Divisions are:
1. Estevan, 2. Weyburn, 3. Assiniboia, 4. Maple Creek, 5. Melville, 6. Regina, 7. Moose Jaw, 8. Swift Current, 9. Yorkton, 10. Wynyard, 11. Saskatoon, 12. Battleford, 13. Kindersley, 14. Melfort, 15. Prince Albert, 16. North Battleford, 17. Lloydminster, 18. La Ronge.
To post a "Found It" for this Challenge cache you must first qualify by finding at least one cache of any size or type anywhere (rural or urban) in each of the eighteen Saskatchewan divisions/counties, see attached map. Secondly, you must find and sign the log sheet for the physical cache at the posted coordinates. You may post a "Write Note" log if you find it before you have qualified.
The cache is at the posted coordinates. It is located along a paved, wheelchair-accessible path, in a public park with several access points. The physical cache should be rated at a D/T rating of about 1.5 x 1.0 but due to the number of caches that must be found, and the vast travel distances required, this challenge has been listed with a D/T rating of 4.0 x 4.0. No need to list your qualifying caches or post a bookmark list unless you wish to; however, I'm sure other cachers would enjoy seeing any pictures that you wish to post of your more memorable adventures in your quest for the eighteen. I will verify your map of Saskatchewan division finds on your project-gc.com caching profile stats.
Enjoy your journey. Bring your own pen/pencil and tool of the trade. No room for a FTF prize so it will have to be just pride and honour!
Congratulations to candlelightforge on the First To Find.
