Hmm never thought of that I guess I am not too old to learn a new trick or 2,, It is always a good day when you learn something new Cheers

an analog watch,, half way between the hour hand and 12 = the direction South = +or - 15 degrees if yuo are in daylight savings time no good if you have a digital watch a compass resection will give you your location if you are using a good topo map talking to a local will always get you on the way, but if you are in Atlantic Canada you might be given a ptretty funny story to decipher How do you get to Margaree? " Well ya go down by the ol irving station thet isn't there anymore cuz the nephew of the fella that owned it burnt it down o account of the fact that his buddy used to go with the daughter of the owner and they got in a big fight one night,, must have been the shine they go from washisname from Glacebay but thats a different stoery,, turn right"

Tidal power would be the answer I was looking for "The available tidal energy potential for the Minas Passage, Nova Scotia is over 1 GW. Harnessing just 15% of the available tidal energy resource base would generate enough electricity to power about 120,000 Canadian homes (assuming an average of 1.3 kW per home)" - Electric Power Research Institute Feasibility Study of In Stream Tidal Energy Conversion Technology in North America

What is the newest form of electriciy generating method to be used soon in Canada?

seems to be ok now

new question tomorrow

bump.... someone needs to ask a new question... it has been awhile! Ok I'll play this sounds fun iread the frist 10 pages then relized that there were 65 pages so i hope that i get the rules right PS i got the pic off the net but already new what they were for Q: What are these called and what are they used for???? divining rods for finding water

THe best place to go to find lots of info is http://www.atlanticgeocaching.com/ Free to join and lots of great cachers all over the region check out the user forum for events, hikes etc you should also check the geocaching listings for Nova Scotia to see if there is an event happening nearby go to the event and have a great time.

Please don't use Google Earth to place a cache ... it is a notoriously inaccurate source of position data. I've seen it be out by 300 metres in some places I am not I am using it to get the corrdinates of an urban building as my GPS was off by 30 meters Same problem I would not use google Earth to check any coordinates from. I would find a clear place with an unobstruced view so your GPSr will get a good position

Check the Pocket Queries for Cape Breton Fluer De Lis trail, is good to get fom the mainland to Louisbourg, Then try the ingonsish cheticamp one

Lots of caches to do here, try the Isle Madame area for some excellent scenery, then head for Louisbourg After that head up to the Cape Breton Highlands and take in the recently published Ecocaches in the National Park, With these areas as the main highlighs , everything in between will be another cache to get contact me via my proflie for more info

Looks like it will be a nice day. Hiking and caching in the park with freinds!!! See you there

Okay...will do! What day do you arrive on? we will arrive on the 17th at the Cheticamp camping area I will leave a message at the Visit centre

Look for the ACGA banner and plaque My tent will have the ACGA plaque near it

Well it is less than two weeks to the evednt. I hope everyone has thier hiking boots ready. The cache pages are done and ready to be published for the 18th. If you are travelling and do not have access to the web, then some paper copies will be available See you there

I am looking for Atlantic Canada Geocachers Association LE (Gold) Newfoundland Coin and the ACGA LE Prince Edward Island coin

Caches placed and the event is ready to go It will be a great weekend in the park and hopefully a few people from away will be visiting Cape Breton Island this weekend Don't forget to get your Park Pass Keltik Lodge is hosting the wrap up and is donating some good prizes See you in Cheticamp!!!

Too bad it was not a day earlier, but the CB highlands Ecocaches will be out and waiting for people to find them , and of course you will be rewardded for your efforts. Maybe we will see you on the trails somewhere..

If there are any cachers travelling in the area let me know I will press gang you into service and make you help out during the event.. Just kidding, but any help will be appreciated.

We shall see after this one is done. it isup to Parks Canada to decide..and I will try to get to Fundy some time soon too,, We might need to make it a micro event and gather a bunch of folks and go get em

One I actually think I know; it's White Hill - I couldn't remember "where" that is until I read the last post - it is in the Cape Breton Highlands. That is it White Hill (highest point of Cape Breton Highlands, and highest point in Nova Scotia, 46° 42' N, 60° 36' W) El 532m so it is still a hill Your turn RAC777

WOW almost 100 views and no comments on "hey this one sound fun" " We will be there!!!" Just wondering as it would be nice to get some feedback PLease make a comment

is it the highlands in Cape Breton? I think it is a National or provincial park I just got back from Halifax close but you need to put the what and where in

It is on the SPOT website google SPOT look for the rebate
