Montreal must haves?

[Nattulv]

Hey dear Geocachers,

 

I'm actually a geocacher from Germany but I've been living in Montreal for a while now.

I found a couple of caches in Quebec and in the States, but I have to admit that I never really enjoyed it somehow.

So I hope that the Canadian geocachers can maybe help me.

Are there any caches in or around Montreal that you can highly recommend? I'd really appreciate that!

 

BR,

what some consider good caches may not be necessarily your taste

 

maybe explaining exactly you like/look for or consider good will help to make some recommendations

[+dfx]

and then there's the obligatory advice: if there really aren't any caches that are up to your taste, you can always make those caches yourself

[Nattulv]

Hmmm, that's true for sure but I don't wanna be the owner of a cache which is more than 6000 kilometres away from my home (even though one could adopt it).

 

Well, types of geocaches I'd like to go for...

I think either traditional caches which lead me to historical sights or generally interesting locations or cool/funny/innovative multis. Or a combination

Furthermore it would be nice to see some innovative hiding places or ways of hiding.

 

Can you recommend something now?

we visited Montreal and Quebec City last year so can't really recommend much, i looked at the finds we have bu due to lack of french comprehension the descriptions are not helping jog my memory at all

 

i'm sure someone from there will be able to help you

 

if all else fails, try contacting some cachers, or perhaps attend an event

Hi, i'm pretty new at geocaching and i live in montreal but must of my find are around ottawa... but there's 2 caches near my apartment that are pretty easy but i loved reading about the history of the places. If you love to learn more about the past of the city those could be fun.. i hope you'll enjoy!

Since you are in Germany where GCVote is very popular may I ask you if you use it? If so, you can use the map to spot those with highest ratings. GCVote can even list them with highest ratings 1st in the list on the right.

As for GCvote: I used to work with it some time ago, but the spot where I come from is not yet "overcached". So I didn't really have the need for it so far.

Maybe I should start to use it for Montreal, no bad idea actually!
