The ACGA Official Geocache is a member driven project where a fixed number of high quality geocaches are placed throughout Atlantic Canada.
The goal of these geocaches is to promote geocaching.
Each of these geocaches have been placed by volunteer members of ACGA, where ACGA has provided the following content for each geocache:
- .50 cal Ammo Can
- Write in Rain logbook
- geocaching.com pencil
- ACGA Quick Guide to Geocaching (for newbies) brochures printed on Write in Rain paper
- ACGA patches
- medium geocaching.com sticker
Here are the list of current Official ACGA Geocaches:
- Pictou County, Nova Scotia - GC13RF3
- Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador - GC150FT
- Graves Island, Nova Scotia - GC13YGE
- Fredericton, New Brunswick - GC14JB0
- Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island - GC16J7B
You can also view them on geocaching.com via this bookmark.
ACGA GEOCOIN CONTEST
Goal
The first person to log all 5 Official ACGA Geocaches and is the first person or team to do so will be given a complete set of XLE ACGA geocoin (copper) as a FTF prize. The ACGA geocoin series were a set of 4 geocoins released last year.
The XLE is a eXtreme Limited Edition coin where only 9 have been distributed. Odds are you will never see this edition, unless you have well placed friends. These coins are trackable on geocaching.com. They are similar to the ACGA gecoins that are out there, except that they are in a copper finish.
How to Play
To qualify, each of the 5 caches need to be logged and a picture of yourself/team andwith the cache container be taken and uploaded to our Image Gallery.
All remaining people/teams who completes all 5 caches will be displayed on a special hall of fame page on ACGA and a virtual "medal" will be given to acknowledge the feat.
Who can participate?
The contest is open to anybody in Canada (ACGA exec members cannot participate) who has a valid geocaching.com account.
You Mentioned Teams
inter-provincial geocaching teams made up strictly for the purpose of using the "divide and conquer" method are not eligible. Current geocaching teams must have at least 1 member complete all 5 geocaches. Meaning one specific member of the team has to be at all 5 geocaches.
Photos
Photos are to be uploaded to a special image gallery on ACGA where we can follow the progress. It will also be used as a validation tool to ensure that each person/team actually visited all 5 locations. The final photo will be used for the special "hall of fame" page, acknowledging all those who've completed all 5 geocaches.
What If I already Logged one of these caches?
If you have already logged one of the 5 geocaches previous from this contest, then that counts towards completing all 5.
