This is #1 in a new series of contests which The Team will be releasing – we thought we’d better get MORE action going as many geocachers are falling asleep from boredom, and too few new caches are being listed on Geocaching.com…..Photos are required at all clue locations and posted on vigps.com. You/operatives are responsible for your own safety and well being.

So here we go! This series of mini contests will feature ONE WINNER ONLY. The winner will be the first person/team to come up with the correct answer. $500.00 Cdn. will be paid to the winner of each contest. Operatives can be used if needed.

This series of contests will take place in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and in several Western U.S. States.

You won’t need super accuracies to get to the final position, as it won’t be buried, or difficult to find.

Photos of the winning position should be put on vigps.com – if you so desire, photos of other positions are allowed.
