Geocache Description:


This area was formally part of a cow pasture, and later the edge of the first golf course in Winnipeg (Norwood Golf Club, founded in 1894).  From the Manitoba Historical Society: “The club acquired rights to a cow pasture in the community of Norwood owned by the Norwood Improvement Company, opening a primitive course on 21 July 1894. The club used that site until the fall of that year, when it was decided to relocate operations to land acquired south of Portage Avenue, backing onto Mulvey School.”

Bring your own pen/pencil! Also, please do your best to replace the geocache exactly as you found it. If there are any issues with the location or the physical state of the container or log, please send a message and they will be fixed ASAP.

*This cache is winter-possible (if not necessarily winter-friendly!).*
