3rd year of the Geocaching Challenge program at Fundy National Park. There will be 5 new geocaches to get a limited geocoin this year. The video highlights two trails, Tracey Lake Trail & Third Vault Trail. If you look closely, you will see plenty of hints as to where the geocaches are hidden. Both trails took about 3 hours to complete. The total challenge will take close to 6 hours to complete.

166 people showed up for our event.

Five new geocaches were published and the eager geocachers hit the trails. The reward this year was a special 60th anniversary of Fundy National Park, a non-trackable geocoin.

The theme for the geocaches this year was "water", each cache brought geocachers to selected areas of the park which hilighted this theme. One example was the geocache "Fishy Facebook" where the nearby lake was the site of a new fishway which will allow the fish to travel between the lake & river system. Or "What's Up Doc?" where geocachers were guided down to the site of the many waterfalls that are located within the park.

105 geocachers started their day at 10am, but during the next few hours, another 61 had logged in. Many decided to take advantage of the weekend to book camping site and do the challenge over two days. Over twenty participants were able to log all five geocaches during the event duration. However, it was hard work as many returned with red faces and that look of exhaustion which turned into joy once they redeemed their passport for the geocoin.

The conclusion of the event included prizes from Fundy Guild, The North Face (via The Trail Shop) and The Tides Restaurant.
