Geocache Description:

This cache was mentioned on the Cache-A-Maniacs podcast episode #151.

This cache no longer requires a Regina connection like it used to. All the need clues to solve the puzzle are now in the cache listing.


I grew up in this area of Edmonton before a series of moves including Wabamum and Stony Plain before moving back for a second time in the old house. After finishing University (University of Alberta, B.Ed. Class of 1998) I moved to Ft. Resolution, NT and a few other places before settling in Regina, SK. Don't laugh, I was one of the few to be moving from Alberta to Saskatchewan before it was cool to do so.

The posted co-ordinates are bogus. They belong to an old corner store that my Dad took me to frequently. The store was owned by a guy named Earl who would sometimes let me have a free Revel – that was what I always got there. About a year after moving away the first time, Earl was killed by thieves robbing his store. It was the first time I knew someone who had died. It's scary how, in seconds, life can change so dramatically.

Over time that store became another corner store, a hair salon with a huge limo in front of it, and a real estate office. Looks like it's having a second chance as a hair salon.

In order to find this cache, you will have have to decode this group of letters. Do not read anything into the spaces, they are there simply to make transcription easier. If you found this cache when it was linked to a cache in Regina - the puzzle hasn't changed, nor has the location.

You will be looking for a soup thermos, suitable for geocoins and small Travelbugs.
