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 NOT at the posted coordinates.
The cache is a Lisa tube, wrapped in black tape, hanging at the posted coordinateds. There is only a logbook inside. Please bring a pen to sign the log, and replace as found.
About this cache:
L'origine française du Canada remonte au début du XVIIe siècle, lorsque des explorateurs et des colons français fondèrent certaines des premières communautés européennes en Amérique du Nord, dont Québec en 1608. Ces colons, appelés les Canadiens ou les Habitants, posèrent les bases d'une culture francophone dynamique qui demeure un élément déterminant de l'identité canadienne. Au fil du temps, les traditions, la langue et les systèmes juridiques français façonnèrent le développement de la Nouvelle-France, en particulier dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le Québec. Même après la conquête britannique de 1763, la culture française perdura, soutenue par des liens communautaires solides, des institutions religieuses et des protections juridiques. Aujourd'hui, des millions de Canadiens sont fiers de retrouver leurs racines dans ces premiers colons français, et leur héritage continue d'influencer la langue, les lois et le paysage culturel du Canada.
En hommage à notre héritage linguistique français, vous devrez résoudre une énigme en français. Certains sites web, dont un site de géocaching populaire, vous offrent la possibilité de choisir la langue de votre choix pour la traduction dans What3Words. Vous devrez saisir ces mots en français pour obtenir les coordonnées finales.
