CARW2023 is a "fun for the whole family" event with a focus on "Quality Caching".
This year's theme will be Medieval/Monty Python so go out there and hide some caches based on your favorite theme!
Edmonton and area geocachers hide winter-friendly caches in the designated event area. Caches are submitted for review on or before the Cache Submission Deadline of Friday, February 24.
Upon publication, participants prepare for the event by solving puzzles, planning their routes, and, for some, forming teams to hunt for caches. A "Kick Off" event is held on Friday evening for people to get together to make their preparations. On Saturday morning March 4th at 9:00 a.m. everyone hits the trails to hunt for caches.
On Sunday afternoon, March 5th at 2:00 p.m., everyone heads for the Wrap-Up event.

Cache Description:
An Orange Bison Tube on a quick park and grab!
There is set of bee hives nearby. But not too close to the cache so as to disturb them.
"In the Middle Ages, honey was used as a sweetener, a medicine, a preservative and a basic ingredient of mead. Even though sugar was first extractred and refined sometime before 2000 B.C., little sugar was available in Europe until the 14th century. Instead, honey was used by confectioners to mix with fruits, nuts, herbs, and spices, and in ancient Gaul and England, the flavor of poor-quality wine was conceled by the addition of honey and spices (mulled wine). Honey itself was so valuable that it became an informal medium of exchange. "
