DEUCES WILD! This cache is part of a MULTI-CACHER series-right- MULTI-CACHER, it's not a multi-cache! A few of us worked together and came up with hides at a variety of locations along HIGHWAY #2 to commemorate the unique date of 2/22/22 or in an alternate format-22/02/2022-PALINDROME TIME- 22022022 AND it's on a 2sday too! A bookmark list has been prepared/published for your reference! The Bookmark List will be called DEUCES WILD SERIES! You might not find all of them in one day but we hope you can get to them, eventually!
So...Highway 2-interesting information..... It is the longest highway in Saskatchewan at 809 km (503 mi). The highway is partially divided and undivided. However, only about 18 kilometres near Moose Jaw, 11 kilometres near Chamberlain, and 21 kilometres near Prince Albert are divided highway. Highway 2 is a major north-south route beginning at the Canada–US border at the Port of West Poplar River and Opheim, Montana customs checkpoints. It passes through the major cities of Moose Jaw in the south and Prince Albert in the north. Highway 2 overlaps Highway 11 between the towns of Chamberlain and Findlater. This 11 kilometres section of road is a wrong-way concurrency. The highway ends at La Ronge, where it becomes Highway 102.
THIS CACHE.....there just might be a FEW new hides out today with this name...we'll see! This is MY contribution of two cents...I couldn't resist! Should be a quick find if you can figure out which host to go to!
HAVE FUN
Two Cents
Where does the expression 2 cents come from?
- The phrase “here's my two cents” comes from the old mail system. Back in the day before there was internet or e-mails, the cost of a postage stamp in the US to send a letter was 2¢.
Even after this price increased, postcards still cost just 2¢ to send. Two cents or two pennies have very little value so what you are saying is, “My opinion may not be worth a great deal but here it is anyway.”
- The earliest reference to ‘two cents’ appears in Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Luke. In the Bible, several wealthy temple patrons donate large sums of money, but a poor widow places just two small coins, (her two cents) into the offering. She finds greater favor with Jesus than do the wealthy patrons, seeing that the widow gave all of her money to the Temple in Jerusalem while the wealthy patrons made little investment.
