JoeyTomato Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Hi ,I'm coming down from Edmonton next week and may need to drop off a Travel Bug that's trying to get to Banff. I'm new to GeoCaching and to Calgary so I may need help locating a cache close to Stanley Park.(one of the few landmarks I can find without too much trouble that may be suitable for a hidden cache) Can someone please do a search to see whats around that area ...I have had no luck using the search engine here and dont know the postal codes near that area. I'd like to download the waypoints for a couple different caches to my GPS before I leave E-Town next Thursday (Sept 18/03) A cache ID # GC**** would be great!!! I'm also open to suggestions if someone thinks there may be a better location that will help get the Sherri Sheep TB to Banff ASAP (She's in a race) TIA thanks for the e-mail outforthehunt, the info provided is a big help!

JoeyTomato Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 I used mapquest to zero in on the area I'm referring to. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?savedMap=1063316358 I'll be staying at Rideau Place Hope that helps Quote Link to comment
+Team Giblert Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Caches in Stanley Park: No Math Multi-Cache by The Count (GCDFBE) - although it's a multi it ends up in Stanley Park Big Bertha by Berkut (GCG1BF) Caches near Stanley Park: the emperor's new geocache by canadazuuk (GCGWBD) Not A Protest by Xcountry-duo (GCGB81) Hope this helps. Also, I have a travel bug in my possession that is in a race and needs to go east via other provinces. Any chance I could leave it with you? I could place it into a cache that you're going to hit here in town if you'd like... Quote Link to comment

JoeyTomato Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 park2 Hobo Island will definately work for me (provided I can get to it without a boat ) BTW, love the Personalized Plate, I got one too I loaded up the Big Bertha page and recognized the park I visited as a kid (used to live on the coast in my younger days) [This message was edited by JoeyTomato on September 12, 2003 at 11:33 PM.] Quote Link to comment
