Weekend Caching

Kanaka Creek Caching


Went to Kanaka creek for a bike ride and to grab a few caches while there of course.

Kanaka Creek is named for the Hawaiians who were employed by the Hudson Bay Company at Fort Langley across the river.

A very active waterway, with lots of animals utilizing the slower flow of water.

A nice walkaround to learn about the area and the river and how it has been used in years past.


It was a nice partly walking and some biking trails. Nicely well maintained and lots of info.

 RichmondC150 caches

Working on finishing the last of the Geo Tour of the Richmond caches called Richmond “Canada 150”
These caches were placed to celebrate Canada’s 150th Birthday. There is 20 caches in this series, and the last geotour they did was 30 caches. I have completed that one a couple years back. I had 8 left to do, and we got 5 easily but 2 of them were disabled the day we went for them so could not get them. Also 1 of them we could not get to as the parking lot was full, so we decided to go do some other caches.

Terra Nova park

We went to Terra Nova Rural Park and found several caches including several of the Richmond geotours, a multi cache, several traditionals and two puzzles that were Bonus caches for the 2 Adventure Labs that were also in the Park.

Family Day Weekend Caching

We went out caching every day this weekend, and even on Family Day as the sun was shining, and it was a beautiful day. We got 2 cache's only on Saturday as it was raining, but I needed a Multi for a challenge I am working on. On Sunday we got 11 caches, of which 3 were puzzles, 1 was a Multi, and the rest were traditional's. On Monday(Family Day) we grabbed 6 traditional's and 3 Multi's and one was even an FTF!!!












A few cool sights we saw this weekend while caching.  This was a different Barn Owl than the last one we saw.











We didn't see any slugs!!

This guy was so close, I could have almost touched him.



Geochallenge Caching

Right now I am working on a geochallenge (Actually when am I Not working on a geochallenge? lol)

Both of them, you need to fill your monthly calendar with Multi Caches. You could use finds from previous years. I started working on this and planned on filling in February and March's Calendar with a Multi everyday.
 In February, I needed to get 10 Multi's on the days I did not previously have a multi, and for March I need to fill 8 spots. 
This is my yearly calendar of Multi Caches found on the specific days. This is my calendar before I started the 2 challenges. Looking to fill February and March to start....we will see from there. lol
EDIT NOTE: So after working on this challenge for February, I noticed the calendar did not change when I looked at the checker thru Project GC. Sent a message to the Challenge cache owner, and was told the RED squares are the dates I need to fill not the completed dates....Argggg....The white dates are the ones I need to do. Oh well start from scratch. Gotta decide which months I want to do now. lol

Easter Weekend Trip

In April on the Easter long weekend, Sansue and I plan on heading to Merritt, Kelowna, Vernon, Armstrong, Sicamous, Revelstoke, Golden and then the Alberta Border to finish up my Trans Canada Highway Adventure Lab, so I can post it and make it Live. Of course I have plenty of caches planned to grab also. But more about that next Month after the trip.
Until then, Stay Safe, Get Vaccinated, Wear your Mask, and Wash your Hands!!!




Well that's it for this month,
Keep on caching!!
