Geocaching Day August 8 2010
This Event has been completed..
Summary of Event:
Thanks for a great Geocaching day put off by our staff. (Deanne, Allison, Katie, Dylan and Shannon) The Safari theme and program was developed by Allison Stentaford.
Today we entertained, under blue skys and very nice temps, about 25-30 people in 5 teams (All families with children) and they had a great time. Colorful face masks were given to all the children and they wore them the entire day.
We had prizes donated from Walmart, Jungle Jim's, Free Movie rentals , Movies, Swim passes and other prizes. All the children got a little something.
I also want to thank Elizabeth and Rob Boychuck for looking after the hot dogs, McDonalds for the Jungle Juice and Deanne and Allison who stayed up late making monkey and lion faced cupcakes and passed them out to all.
Our staff dressed in costumes and spent an hour and a half on the trail directing our little explorers.
It was very rewarding to hear them say 'Had a great time...We'll see you next year'.
That pretty well sums up geocaching 2010
Geocaching on Manuels River
Our three caches on the river are all up and working. See geocaching.com for co-ordinates or send up an email and we'll get you started. Our caches have been active all winter and getting many 'finds'.
For those of you more into the sport don't forget there is a multicache which is located on the river. Called the Kelly's Treasure Multicache (GC1FHXR). Go online to http://www.geocaching.com and set up an account... it's free and will give you the information you need to start geocaching.
Good Luck.
The Manuels River is an ideal location for geocaching. The 8 km of linear trails up and down river make geocaching, a day of walking and a nature trip at the same time. Check out our geocaching page and follow the links to geocaching site to get more information.
