What is the Challenge?
This is a unique way to explore Eastern Manitoba, and take part in
activities that you may never get a chance to do again. This year's
challenge is to visit as many of the sites as possible throughout
the time period (July 10 - August 7, 2009). Using your hand held
GPS unit, navigate your way to the sets of coordinates that you
will receive once you have registered, along with further details.
When you locate the site, you will need to get your creativity
flowing as you must take a photo at each of the locations which
will show off the fun, beauty, and all that these unique locations
have to offer to receive your points. Feel free to be as creative
as you can!
