As I was hiking in to place this little cache in a small
Lock-n-Lock, a result of looking over the stand of planted pines
and wondering how many in our province have never trod on 'thy pine
clad hills', as mentioned in the "ode to Newfoundland" I thought
this will be an easy find for the rest of this winter due to my
tracks. Than I thought maybe I should do something to make it fun,
lets see, most Goose Geocachers are either pairs or couples, a 3
legged race should be fun, either on snowshoes or sneakers, it's
less than 250m. So record your time when you leave the road and
note how long it took when you find the cache, than post it in the
log. Describe your trip online and maybe post a pic. I will award a
'medal' of sorts for best times on snowshoes and wearing sneakers
before year end. There are some small swag items if you want to do
an exchange. If you can't get a partner to do a race just log it
anyway, maybe do it on one leg!!! Anyawa speaking of the Ode to
Newfoundland gave me an idea to end this little note with;
Ode to Labrador
Dear land of mountains, woods and snow,
Labrador, our Labrador.
God's noble gift to us below,
Labrador, our Labrador.
Thy proud resources waiting still,
Their splendid task will soon fulfill,
Obedient to thy Maker's will,
Labrador, our Labrador
Thy stately forests soon shall ring,
Labrador, our Labrador.
Responsive to the woodsman's swing,
Labrador, our Labrador.
And mighty floods that long remained,
Their raging fury unrestrained,
Shall serve the purpose God ordained,
Labrador, our Labrador.
We love to climb thy mountains steep,
Labrador, our Labrador.
And paddle on thy waters deep,
Labrador, our Labrador.
Our snowshoes scar thy trackless plains,
We seek no city streets nor lanes,
We are thy sons while life remains,
Labrador, our Labrador.
