John's Canada Bear Geocoin Proxy

To visit all 13 Canadian provinces & territories!  Yes, I realize it might be a challenge for it to reach Nunavut since there are only a handful of caches there, but one can dream!  :-)

Pour visiter les 13 provinces et territoires canadiens! Oui, je me rends compte qu'il pourrait être difficile de se rendre au Nunavut car il n'y a qu'une poignée de géocaches là-bas, mais on peut rêver!​  :-)

As it reaches each province/territory, I'll check them off below:

À mesure qu'il atteint chaque province/territoire, je vais les vérifier ici:

(Be sure to hide the tracking code when taking any pics).

(Assurez-vous de cacher le code de suivi lors de la prise de photos).

(Also, please don't "collect" this trackable, as that will take it out of circulation and spoil the fun.  PLEASE do not take this travel bug unless you'll faithfully log it and take it to another cache.  I can't tell you how many trackables I've released which have gone missing or stagnant, often after just being in one cache.  Please respect the purpose of travel bugs / trackables.  Thank you).

(Aussi, n'hésitez pas à "collecter" ce trackable, car cela va le sortir de la circulation et gâcher le plaisir. Ne prenez pas ce bug de voyage à moins que vous ne vous identifiez fidèlement et ne le prenez pas dans un autre cache. Mes trackables ont disparu ou stagnent, souvent après avoir été dans un cache. Respectez le but des bogues / trackables de voyage. Merci).

I won this gorgeous coin on July 1, 2017 at the White Mt. Picnic for Canada's 150th Celebration (a "Where in the world is Signal the Frog" event) - GC76HTN.  I'm releasing it as a proxy (laminated photocopy of the actual "coin") as too many real geocoins go missing when people collect them & take them out of circulation.  The tracking number is still present on the proxy so please log it online when you take it from a cache and again when you drop it off in another cache.  Thanks!!

Happy Sesquicentennial, Canada!!

After traveling around with me for a couple of weeks, this trackable is being (re-)released at a kickoff event (this one being in Lyman, Maine) for the "Lost Treasure of Mary Hyde" summer geocaching/souvenir series.

Happy Caching!!
