Baffin Island Geocache

[milescouchman]

Hello,

 

Just wondering if anyone knows about any geocaches up on Baffin Island. I'm doing a backpacking trip up there this summer so it would be cool if there was one.

you'll have to do some searching to see if theres any others.

Geocaching.com Google maps wants you to zoom in further than looking at all of Baffin Island, or it won't return any caches. I can tell you though, that there are only 19 caches in the whole of Nunavut, so I'd just look at them and see where they are. I'd post a link to the 19 caches in Nunavut (8 of which have never been found), but it doesn't seem to work for me!! Anyone know how to post that?

Make a bookmark list of the caches, make sure you make it viewable (?) to all, then copy the URL at the top of the page. When you reply on this thread, click the little globe and paperclip button on the tool bar right above where you are writing and paste the URL there.

 

That should work.

Oh no, I know all about the globe and paperclip thing (or by hand in BB code for that matter), but when I go to http://www.geocaching.com/seek/ then choose "Canada", then "Nunavut", the URL doesn't change, and so I can't post a link to the Nunavut caches.

I knew there was a way to do this, took a few moments to remember how to set it up. Had them all bookmarked in the Pizmo, but the HDD died

 

Enjoy!

I'd love to see it found.. chances are the locals kids have found it an pillaged it, but take a look and report back if you can..

I have one in Qikiqtarjuaq.

Be the first to find.. hopefully. But I highly suspect it's been locally pillaged by the kids..not much to do up there, you know.

Can I have a find for trying to pronounce Qikiqtarjuaq?
