Note: Waypoints have been hidden awaiting the 2021 Christmas Light Season, but the cache remains for you to find.
This geocache starts the Norwood/St. Boniface leg of the Chrismas Lights tour of Winnipeg. This is an easy magnetic park and grab. The cache can be found at any time of day, but the tour has the best impact after dark. Bring your own writing stick, as there is no room in the cache for one.
Are you down in the dumps because 2020 has been a garbage fire of a year? Take some time to take this tour of Christmas lights to lift your spirits! The suggested route was taken from the Winnipeg Christmas Map public facebook group and a full map of locations with Christmas lights can be found here.
If you prefer lists, here is a list of the locations. Waypoints have been provided to lead you through the suggested route from the geocache (as we wished we had wayponts to guide us when we used the list). Also I have broken up St. Vital and St. Boniface, as it was too long of a stretch.
ST. VITAL/ST.BONIFACE (as titled on the fb page - I have published a separate cache for St. Vital)
South to North driving route (I have also adjusted the order slightly for better routing)
