Geocache Description:


You are now standing in front of a "MEDALTARCH".  This sculptural legacy celebrates Medicine Hat's Clay Industry and Clay Art.

Set against the dramatic cliffs of the South Saskatchewan River in Medicine Hat Alberta, the 150-acre Historic Clay District is situated on Treaty 7 land and was once home to some of the earliest industry in Western Canada. Today the history of the once-thriving ceramic industry is being revived with the iconic Medalta Potteries National Historic Site.

The Medalta Potteries was a Canadian ceramics manufacturing company in Medicine Hat, Alberta, that operated from 1916 to 1954.

In order to claim this cache post a picture of yourself standing in the Arch or something displaying your Geocaching  Name shown in the Arch and facing the Oven's.  (Part of the fun of doing a Virtual Cache)  Failure to complete this portion of your log will result in the removal/deletion of your Log.
