*********IMPORTANT INFORMATION*********
Update 08/12/25
The event is a GO. There are enough traditional caches and ALs available to earn the coin - you will have less distance to travel! The caches are going live at midnight Thursday but we will be (temporarily) disabling any that are on trails or are in the woods.
If you are just doing the coin challenge, you will be able to pick up your coin (one per passport/per caching name) between 4 and 5:15 on Saturday at Killarney Lodge. If you are attending the Maritime Kitchen Party, we would ask that you come and register between 4:45 and 5:15. Supper will be served at 5:15. We have lots of prizes to be drawn - for those attending the dinner. All completed passports will be put in for 2 special draws - you do not have to attend the dinner to qualify -we will get the prize to you.
Music will be from 6 - 8 - we have to clean up and be out by 9.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Geobash!
