The Great Copper Rush - an amazing weekend - consisting of 250 Cachers travelling from so many locations - including but not limited to BC, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Minnesota & as far away as Australia - Below is the Video Montage of photos taken by cachers taking part in the event.
The Video's aren't all up and functioning on here yet - links are:
Treasure hunting is an activity that fires up the imagination. It usually brings to mind pirates and ancient maps. Modern day treasure hunters go under a new name. They are called geo-cachers and recently brought their fun and games to Princeton for a huge weekend of sleuthing through not only Princeton, but Hedley and elsewhere.
Kris Wheeler was the main organizer of the event called “The Great Copper Rush.” It was not an easy task as she had 230 participants to keep busy as well as non-geo-cachers and a wedding to partake in and not just any wedding - her wedding. The geo-cachers were mostly British Columbians, but there were also some from Alberta, Minnesota, Montreal, Ontario and New Zealand.
Below the Video you will find my thoughts - but I think it's very important first before you ready my thoughts to watch the video. All credit for the photos go to my fellow cachers & off road enthusiasts.. I took from them what they captured. I usually am always behind the camera - but this time I spent the time watching others to really capture something..
Ok - If you must laugh now - at least we can - yes we did manage to take this very straight forward cache and turn it into another adventure to live in our memories forever. This Cache will forever remain in our minds as the why we are buying a "SPOT" - and then we can give the number to Mercrocks so when Mrs. Turtle sets it off he will know and can bring her a calming sedative after watching Mr. Turtle flip the Tank and rescuing them. Luckily let me say that did not happen but almost did.
