Welcome to the Fall Fest 2025 GeoChallenge
This is NOT a geocaching Challenge cache - instead, this cache is part of the GeoChallenge placed as part of the festivities for Fall Fest 2025! This series will offer a variety of DT ratings throughout Brantford and Brant County. All caches are stand-alone caches that do not need to be found in any specific order. When you find the cache, you will be looking for either a CODE WORD (written on the Logbook) or a STAMP inside of the cache. Record this code word or stamp your passport (available from Event HQ starting at 8pm on Wednesday, September 24th) in the appropriate location for your chance to win a TON of amazing prizes.
Please note: all passports must be returned to Event HQ prior to 12:00pm on Saturday, September 27th 2025 in order to be eligible for prizes.
There are a total of 100 caches in the GeoChallenge and all caches can be searched for by using the prefix FF25 GC. Some caches in the GeoChallenge will be park and grabs, while others will involve longer hikes or TOTTs (including kayaks, boots, collapsible ladders, and flashlights). Please check the descriptions and attributes for each cache and do not attempt anything outside of your comfort zone. These caches are being placed to appeal to a wide variety of caching levels and abilities and is designed to be a CHALLENGE.
The cache IS at the posted coordinates.
The cache is a Lisa tube, wrapped in black hockey tape, that contains only a logbook. Please bring a pen to sign the log, and replace as found.
A few notes about this cache:
If you've ever done a Pasha88 cache (or 100), you might have noticed that Pasha88 has a distinct hiding style.
This cache is the opposite of everything you thought you knew about Pasha88 caches. It is a minimum 60m bushwack from the nearest trail. It is a BRUTAL battle to GZ, through vines, fallen logs, tick-infested waist-high weeds, and just about every other hazard you could imagine. Auston ended up with more than 200 burrs on him (then needed brushing and a bath... he was not a happy camper). You may get tangled up in weeds. You may stumble over tripping hazards. You may not have enough cell signal to find the cache. No matter which way you go, it's not a fun cache to get to. You've been warned...
A few notes about this series:
- Check the attributes! They will often give you an idea of what you are looking for and what to expect at/near GZ
- Remember that you must sign the log in order to claim the find. Group names are fine, but all cachers should be present at the time of the find.
- Play attention to the DT ratings and don't do anything above your comfort level.
- If you have issues with any of the caches in the GeoChallenge, please reach out to one of the Event Organizers (Pasha88, KayTeeAre, bigguy14760 and Buckeye_360) for assistance.
- All passports must be redeemed by 12:00pm SHARP on Saturday during Fall Fest 2025! in order to be considered in the prize drawings.
