+murfster Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I’ve started this forum to consolidate two interesting discussions on future events. Hopefully this is allowed. One discussion was about Mega events in Canada in the future ( Mega Events in Canada 2009 2010? ) and the other dealt with the GPS Maze coming to Canada. (My Good Laugh for Today ) I think it very useful as we start our planning for future travel. Given events can not show up on the GC calendar until 3 months before I find this may not be soon enough for some of us. Quote Link to comment

Thanks Probably want to check back here in 6 years (2015) In the mean time I heard about this nifty event just east of Wiarton June 6 2009! - http://cogfling.ca That should keep your event lust appeased until the Coal Shed Willie event (the most anticipated Geocaching event of the next decade!) comes!

+res2100 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Saturday, May 16, 2015 (Victoria Day Long Weekend) Coal Shed Willie in Wiarton, Ontario. I already have the cache page created. I cannot find the page for this, would like more info. Thanks Hope they can accommodate enough cachers, if not people might have to eat out in the parking lot or on the dock, which might be nice with the great views. Still 6 years away, but I have it all planned out and it'll be my first pub event that I will be hosting. Wiarton Willie may just make an appearance too...as a guest, not as a menu item.

+res2100 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 To continue with my mountain top picnics, this year's will be on top of Maple Mountain on Saturday, September 5, 2009 (Labour Day weekend). So for you adventurous types or those that want an experience of a lifetime, mark that date on your calendar. Maple Mountain (N 47° 23.225 W 080° 20.097) is located in the Temagami area north-east of Sudbury and is the 18th highest mountain in Ontario at 642m. It won't be easy to get to and as with last year, people will be taking a number of different approaches\methods to get to the event. I probably won't submit the event until July, but in the meantime if you are on Facebook you can join the group and get some ideas of what is involved in getting to the event. You might also want to start making some plans and reservations, especially if you plan on flying. For an idea of last year's event, you can read all about it here and here. Quote Link to comment
