Geocaching and mineral collection sites closed

Our Municipal government has taken steps to protect the community during these unprecedented times.

They are implementing additional safety measures to help slow the spread of the virus and keep our community safe.

Geocaching and Mineral Collecting

In an effort to maintain the health and wellness of our community and to adhere to the directive put in place by the Provincial government, geocaching and mineral collection sites are prohibited and closed to the public. This is a preventative measure for the well-being of all members in our community and to promote proper physical distancing practices.

May we suggest taking this time at home to tackle the puzzles of the Highlands East Howler. Tupper T. Turtle is always willing to give hints when needed.

What’s Coming to the GCC in 2020

We’re in major planning mode in the Geocaching Capital of Canada and excited about new things coming in 2020.

First off, we celebrate Leap year with a Meet ‘n’ Greet Event (GC8K2V8) at the Harcourt Community Centre Feb. 29, 2020 at 12 noon. Among other things, we’ll talk about Adventure Labs. If you’re in the area, stop by and say hi and grab some lunch hosted by the Harcourt Ladies Committee.

Our sensational anniversary event will be held on Saturday, May 30, 2020, with the theme of the Roaring Twenties. No telling what Sticky Moose has planned, but it’s sure to be an exciting afternoon engaging the entire community!

Pack your canoe or kayak and a picnic lunch and plan to stay an extra day. We plan to have our new Water series of caches ready by May 30th as well.

Later in the spring/summer our Adventure Lab series (currently in planning stages) will launch. This is another way to introduce muggles to a different form of geocaching, or add a twist to your caching habits.

You never know what else may be in the works. For current updates, follow our Facebook page.

Woot woot!! Awesome cache!! And its also the last one for us to find on the Geotour AND is find 3,000 for me! All very exciting! The group let me find and figure out this special one and I signed us all individually :). Also dropped a TB called 3,000 finds as it seemed so appropriate. Obviously adding a fave here, would add more if I could. We arrived on Saturday with the goal of tacking this geotour and the geoart and completed both today. Although I knew it was going to be a cool trip I was amazed, over and over again, at everything - from the thoughtfully created caches, the well written and amusing descriptions, to the beauty of the area. Thank you so very much for creating this incredible tour for us to experience!!

Coming to us from Quebec, sunpuki produced two videos to document his trip to complete the Geocaching Capital of Canada GeoTour in just 3 days! Tupper enjoyed the videos, even though he is NOT biligual. I’m sure those who can understand will enjoy them even more.
WARNING: Spoilers contained in the videos.

GeoTour Complete

The Geocaching Capital of Canada GeoTour is now complete with the release of the final 20 caches.  Included are 2 more water access locations bringing that to a total of 20 in the entire GeoTour. Bring your kayak or canoe and take the time to enjoy the area.  Ten of the new caches are on trails.  Remember to wear orange if you are on the trials in the fall.  Moose hunting season is starting and deer hunting begins November 4th.  In this latest release you’ll also find homage to our local volunteer firefighters, a bit of history, a touch of magic, a tribute to a literary heroin and, if I’m not mistaken, you could run into a movie celebrity.  All this in just 20 caches.  Be prepared for a great outing in the Geocaching Capital of Canada.
