Geocache Description:


You asked for more "real" caches for Fall Fest. In hindsight, we probably should've asked how many.

Instead, we somehow wrangled up a Mountie to hide an entire geoart, complete with custom containers, custom puzzles, and far more hours of 3D printing than any reasonable person should admit to. So... here you go. :)

Before you head out, there's one important thing to know: none of these caches are at the posted coordinates. Every cache in this series is a simple puzzle cache, so you'll need to solve the puzzle before heading out to the final location. Don't worry—we promise you won't need a degree in cryptography or a wall covered in red string to figure them out.

Once you've solved the puzzle, the real fun begins. Some of these hides are quick and straightforward. Others may require a little more searching, a little more creativity, or a few choice words directed at the cache owner. Bring your normal caching kit—tweezers, magnets, extraction tools, a flashlight, waders, a ladder, rubber boots, and whatever other gadgets you've accumulated over the years. Chances are they'll come in handy somewhere along the trail.

Every cache in this geoart is hidden inside a custom-designed 3D printed container created specifically for this series. We tried to make them fun, memorable, and a little different from your average hide.Please DO NOT over-tighten the caches when you replace them, as this will just damage the threads on the containers. Please sign the logbook, return everything exactly as you found it, and be cautious of farm vehicles in the area. Out of an abundance of respect for those who live in the area, we ask that you please limit your searches to daylight hours only. 

Whether you tackle the entire geoart in one marathon day or pick away at it over several trips, we hope you enjoy the adventure as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Now, did we mention that this cache isn't at the posted coordinates? I guess you're probably wondering what you have to do to solve the puzzle. Well, here it goes...

True or False: Steer wrestling is included in the Stampede rodeo.

If True N43 13.258 W80 29.750

If False S43 12.524 E80 34.425

 

Have fun, stay safe, and we'll see you at Fall Fest 2026!
