I never heard of this beofre this year either.
I was working out of Southern Cali and got invited on a Jeep run. They ended up hitting 2 geo sites that day. Really cool idea of just dropping of an item and taking one for your self.

Never did look into once back in Alberta.

I actually belong to another ATV Forum as well and one of the members has done like 6 Caches out in Maclean creek and he has posted the Coordinates ,Iam thinking that there will be many more of these Caches placed all over.So now each ride will really be an Adventure(not that every ride isn't already).I think it would be really cool if this became big in Canada,think of the trips that people will be taking and the sites that you might not ever see because you didn't know about them.
This is soooo Cool
I will get the Coordinates and post them here.

PowderMafia there is probably a couple 1000 located around Calgary it's self. I have done some caching around AB while driving to various job locations and even on holidays collected a few caches in SK and MB while out there visiting family.

That's so cool,I have actually seen it on T.V. and in a magazine about the amount of Caches in the cities in Canada,what a great why to spend some time on Holidays or even just out for a trip.
