Geocache Description:


Back to School

In honour of school going back in here is a series that will test what we have learned in a number of subjects: English, Math, Geography, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, and Anatomy. Once you have solved the puzzles, find the correct trail (an old rail bed) then caches should be pretty easy to find. They are all winter friendly. Please be careful as a couple of the caches require a steep drop or climb to arrive at ground zero.
