Geocaching in Southeast Saskatchewan

Geocaching, a world-wide game of high-tech treasure hunting, is growing in

popularity. The basic idea of the game is to locate hidden containers, caches or sites of

historical or cultural significance outdoors using GPS technology. A geocacher places

or creates a cache anywhere in the world, pinpoints its locating using GPS and then

shares the caches existence and location online. Anyone with a GPS unit can then try

to locate the geocache.

A cache sometimes contains a logbook. This logbook contains information from the

owner of the cache, notes from visitors and other valuable and entertaining

information. Larger caches may also contain a few items of small value, like key chains or pins. A cache finder can

keep an item found in the cache, but must replace it with something of equal or greater value for the next person to

enjoy. Quite often, a cache will contain a trackable item, usually referred to as a Travel Bug or Geocoin. Geocachers

do not keep these items, but move them from cache to cache, so they may eventually travel around the world. The

greatest reward in discovering a geocache is the journey itself!

With over one million caches and 4 to 5 million geocachers worldwide, this activity is enjoyed by people from all

age groups. Combine geocaching with camping, hiking, biking, boating or other recreational activities results and

have an even more enjoyable experience. You can spend an hour or two or several days on your excursions. Its up

to you.

In the southeast corner of Saskatchewan, caches are hidden in abundance. Within a 100 mile radius of the centre of

the region, there are over 1,000 caches to find! There are caches located in Estevan, Weyburn, and the smaller

communities throughout the region. There are caches hidden in Moose Mountain Provincial Park, several among the

rock formations at Roche Percee, and many located near historic sites in the area.
