DĂa del Completo: Chile's Ultimate Hot Dog Celebration đđ
NOTEÂ This cache is for the SCAR event, and should not be sought out until after 5:30 pm on May 23rd.
On May 24, something special happens in Chile. The whole country celebrates DĂa del Completo, a day dedicated to the iconic Chilean hot dog, the "completo." But itâs not just any hot dogâoh no. Itâs a tower of joy, a feast on a bun, dressed to impress with toppings like creamy avocado, chopped tomatoes, tangy mayonnaise, sauerkraut, and salsa americana. Itâs the hot dog, elevatedâcompleto is the full experience.
Now, we may not have completos in Canada, but weâve got something else thatâs completo in its own way: SCAR 2025. From May 23rd to 24th, the Saskatoon Cache and Release event kicks off, drawing geocachers from across Saskatchewan, and even beyond. Itâs a 24-hour blitz of finding, hiding, and sharing. A cache-a-thon of epic proportions.
Imagine this: Youâre on the hunt, racing against time, discovering caches in the wild, collecting memoriesâand, who knows, a few completos for lunch. Then, at the end of the 24 hours, after all that adventure, you join fellow geocachers at the Floral Community Centre for a celebration. What could possibly top that? A barbecue perhaps? Yes, thereâs a good chance weâll have hot dogs of our own to close the eventâa completo-inspired feast with all the toppings.
But hereâs the real kicker: If you hid a cache for SCAR 2025 between May 1st and May 31st, youâll earn the Blue Switch Day souvenir. đ
đ Itâs a nod to the geocaching communityâs dedication, celebrated every May 2nd for the past 25 years.
And while weâre talking about souvenirs, donât forget to grab your camera! Weâre putting together a film for the Geocaching International Film Festival to mark the 25th Anniversary of Geocaching. Whether itâs the dog you bring along on your geocaching adventures, the ride to your latest cache, or the best geocaching moment on the road, we want to see it all. đ¸đ
Take a horizontal video of your cache-mobile, your caching dog, or the scenic route to your SCAR 2025 adventure. Send those clips into SAGA, and letâs put them all together to make a geocaching movie that showcases our amazing Saskatoon and area community!
So, on May 24th, when you're sinking your teeth into a completo (or perhaps a hot dog at the SCAR BBQ), remember, itâs not just about foodâit's about celebrating a community that loves adventure, caches, and maybe just a little mayo on top. đđđ¨
And hey, youâll even have a souvenir for all the SCAR 2025 caches youâve hiddenâjust like the rich toppings on a completo, your contributions make this whole event complete. Donât forget to submit your videos, join us at the BBQ, and celebrate all things geocaching! đşď¸đŹ
