+canadazuuk Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Check here for the oldest Canadian caches... Some intersting reading. Makes for better time killing than reading about millionaire bears. canadazuuk Quote Link to comment
+TheGertridgeExplorers Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 This cache - Geocache by Ken Kane, in Nova Scotia, was Canada's first cache. I hope to go and find it on one of my eastern visits. -Donna G Quote Link to comment
pprefont Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 A shame to see a number of them have been trashed... Anyone have an idea on what % of cache's this happens to? Quote Link to comment

Ask not for whom the cache waits....It waits for thee. Quote Link to comment
+Olar Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 OK I'm confused. Maybe someone can set me straight. The cache mentioned as the first Canadian shows as being hidden 06/18/2000 but geocaching.com was not created until around 09/2000. Also it's waypoint is GCBBA which would have been created somewhere around 06/2001. Am I missing something obvious here?

+canadazuuk Posted June 9, 2003 Author Share Posted June 9, 2003 I too am confused about the dates on this one, and asked the cache owner to confirm them... canadazuuk Quote Link to comment
+canadazuuk Posted June 9, 2003 Author Share Posted June 9, 2003 The thing too about these different sites, is that their data is often a tiny bit incomplete. Anyone wanting to watch cachers statistics (or their own) may have to use the 'missing logs' feature to ensure all pages have been accounted for. Quote Link to comment
