Geocache Description:


 

You are searching for a "Letter Box Hybrid Cache located South-East of Saskatoon. Letter Boxing is a sport similar to geocaching that began in England in the mid 1800's. This was before modern GPS geocaching and involved the use of maps, compass and verbal clues to find a hidden letter box. The letter box container contained a stamp which finders could use to stamp their personal log book and they inturn stamped the letter box log with their personal stamp they bought with them. Letter Boxing is still active today and there are several Letter Box's located in Saskatchewan. This Letter Box Hybrid is designed so that cachers can find it without the use of GPS technology in fact Inspecor LaPep challenges you to leave your GPS at home and try to find it using traditional Letter Boxing tools.

In order to find the final cache , cachers will require knowledge of the rural land description system adopted by the Dominion Land Survey (DLS) for use in the western Canadian provinces. If you are not familiar with this system you will need to do extensive research or enlist the aid of someone who is knowledgeable. There are resources that will allow you to convert DLS descriptions to GPS coordinates if you choose to use your GPS. You will also need to complete the jigidi puzzle below to receive the complete information to find the final stage. Good luck 😊.


 

E.R. Bear

 

NOTE : There is no physical cache at the posted coordinates. It is a physical reference point only. However it is an excellent place to do a "Kodak Moment " with E.R. Bear to include in your log 🪵😊.
The final cache contains a small selection of trade items, a log book, letter box stamp and ink pad. You can stamp your personal letter box book with the stamp in the cache box and stamp the cache log book with your personal stamp . Please leave the letter box stamp, stamp pad and log book in the cache for other finders to use. There is a small FTF prize for the first finders of this cache 😊.

 

Good luck. I hope you have a successful venture..

😊
