Nine Men's Morris
Nine men's morris is a strategy board game for two players dating at least to the Roman Empire. The game is also known as nine-man morris, mill, mills, the mill game, merels, merrills, merelles, marelles, morelles, and ninepenny marl in English. The game has also been called cowboy checkers and is sometimes printed on the back of checkerboards. Nine men's morris is a solved game, that is, a game whose optimal strategy has been calculated. It has been shown that with perfect play from both players, the game results in a draw. The Latin word merellus means 'gamepiece', which may have been corrupted in English to 'morris', while miles is Latin for soldier.
CARW is coming the excitement brews,
Another trail of caches with really nice views.
The posted coordinates must one go and stand,
Directions followed reward a cache in hand.
Towards the river one must face
To the biggest tree you want to pace
Reach out your arms and swing them around
Within that distance the cache should be found
There is a small stamp in the cache for those wishing to stamp their own books but you will need to bring an inkpad.
- This long trail is paved all the way and may be travelled by foot or by bike.
- The trail is maintained year round by the City of Edmonton
- Dogs are welcome on a leash. Please clean up after them.
- Be prepared for a good walk as you must enter the trail from either end.
- Best Parking is east of gz and along the sides at the end of the road (please do not block anything).
- Coming by boat is possible but you will have quite the climb and make these much more difficult then they need to be.
- Private property is fenced off and has "No Trespassing" signs so DO NOT climb over any fence.
- All of the caches can be retrieved from the path side of the private fencing.
I hope you enjoy the area and the caches!
