Jigidi Puzzles, Adventure Labs, and Magic Awards

 Ferndale Trip

popped across the border for a show in early February, and I planned on getting A Wherigo Cache called "TS-Spare Parts" as well as several other caches.
To get the codes for the Wherigo, I had to do a 396 piece online Jigsaw puzzle, which would give me the codes needed to input into the Wherigo. A few days before the trip, I started the puzzle and It took me 4 hours and 50 minutes total to finish it. Yikes!!!



Unfortunately, plans got altered and we didn't get across the border as early as I was hoping to, and had to get to my show, so this cache will have to wait for another trip.

In MAGIC News.....

Also in the beginning of February the S.A.M. had our Annual Banquet, and I was awarded the Carl Hemeon Award of Excellence in Magic. A very Prestigious award!!


The Carl Hemeon Award, given annually, is one of the most coveted recognitions in the magical community. It celebrates creativity, technical mastery, and the ability to captivate audiences with a unique style and original approach to performance. Chris Yuill’s ability to blend traditional techniques with fresh, innovative concepts has set him apart as a leading figure in the field.
Over the years, Yuill has garnered local and international recognition for his performances, events, and contributions to magic. Known for his expertise in Comedy and Magic, he has performed in prestigious venues and collaborated with some of the biggest names in the magic industry.
The Carl Hemeon Award is presented by S.A.M. Assembly #95, a respected institution that champions the development of magic as an art form and supports magicians in their pursuit of excellence. The award was presented at the S.A.M. Annual Banquet, by his peers.
This recognition further solidifies Yuill’s status as a trailblazer in the magic world. His passion for the craft and dedication to pushing the limits of illusion ensures that he will continue to inspire audiences and fellow magicians alike for years to come.

NOTE: The highlighted or underlined words in my blog can be clicked on as they are links to other cool stuff!! Also if you click on any of the pictures they become BIGGER!!!

Recently I was looking at some challenge caches and came across one where you need to find 7 different Icons in 5 different countries. You can look at the "Challenge Cache" here.
This is the list that Project GC gave me when I entered into the geochecker.

Canada (14 types)

United States (13 types)


Mexico (1 types)

Panama (3 types)

As you can see by the list above, I do not qualify but it was interesting to see what types of Icons I have found in each country I have cached in. Plus it shows the last cache of that type that you found, so if you needed to check again it might change. Interesting!!

Adventure Lab Caching

The weather this weekend was quite wet with pouring rain in the forecast. So we decided to grab some Adventure Labs. One of the stages for one of the labs we were doing was at the Port Moody Skytrain station, but it was past the gates where you pay to ride the skytrain. Susan was looking around just out side the gates and the 2 security guards asked her what she was looking for. She told them what she was looking for and they escorted her thru the pay gates and to the plaque which had the info we needed.

I just stayed near the entrance while she got the information. lol

PS: On the right hand side of this webpage is where you can find my YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram, links. Please feel free to check them out and follow or subscribe!!!

I am moving in a few months so I have already been organizing and packing stuff. Upon moving stuff around and packing, I came across a book I have that I haven't seen in awhile. 
It is a book called "200 things any Geocacher must do sooner or later."


Above are a couple of pics from the book. It's like an essay book with all 200 items and you write stuff down, when and what you have done on the list of 200 things. I am going to keep it handy now and start filling in the pages to see my journey. It will be cool to look back years from now and relive those moments made during caching.


Well that's it for this month!!
Keep on caching!!
Magically yours,
Chris Yuill
