[Indoor Benchmarks]

How about a bench mark on top of a building? Is there any of those?

[Saskatchewan]

I am from Saskatoon. Hope to hide soon when good spot shows itself to me.

[Parks Canada]

These are our public parks and the bureaucrats making these stupid decisions are public servants whose salaries are paid by our tax dollars. I'm amazed that you guys are willing to grab your ankles and go along with this.

As I work for the Provincial Parks Department in Sask I can see the validity of Parks Canadas position. They purpose of parks is not to protect the areas FOR use but to protect significant pieces of natural and cultural heritage FROM use and abuse.

The old axiom of "leave only footprints" is not valid in todays parks. If at all possible there should be no trace of people in truly protected areas. It is not valid either to bring up other unfriendly activities to justify your own. Skiing, camping, development while occuring today have a significant toll on the envirionment and YOUR natural heritage.

I am a geocacher and would like to combine caching and visits to beautiful areas however the two activities should not be dependant on each other. Sadly, National Parks comprise a miniscule percentage of land base in Canada that loss of caching in parks is of no consequence to our activity. If caching is the only reason that you visit our protected areas then Parks Canada is right in insisting that the activity have an educational component.

We do not have a right to parks for our activities, nature has an intrinsic right of it's own to exist undisturbed. It is our responsiblity as cachers to treat every piece of land we use (because we are users) as if it were the last best place on earth and that will ensure Geocaching will not be banned everywhere.

[Any Red Cross Out There?]

I am a FA and CPR instructor up in Sask. Canada. I haven't had to use it while Caching thankfully.

[Interesting Caches]

Just by dumb luck I stumbled on the Canadain Base Network Caches (GC45B1) while browsing the Gov of Canada geomatics site and then searching GC.com

I would never have known these were around if I just stuck to GC as the cache comes up as in British Columbia.

Does anyone know of other caches that may be hard to find or unique in the same way as the one above?

[My Cache Is Being Compromised ...]

I bagged a cache that was placed by boyscouts. It was a 5 gal pail about 10ft up a tree. Unless the post says bring a ladder or a friend or climbing gear then the owner should not blow a gasket about it being moved slightly. I had to use a stick to untie the MULTIPLE KNOTS holding this one up. I was able to retie it at head height. It added to the frustration of the coord being way off too!
