This summer the MBGA is challenging you to find long lost Manitoba caches for a chance to win some cool geocaching prizes.

Each of the long lost caches has been allocated points according to it's age, difficulty and terrain, as well as the amount of time since it was last found. If you are prepared to risk life and limb (or just gas money), find one or more of the long lost caches between July 1 and August 31, 2008.

Find out more at the Finders of the Lost Cache Contest Page.

Well I found one of the "lost caches". My second find in my brief history here. I think I submitted it alright but not sure. How do I actually show that I've been to one? Is it just by signing the book at the cache? Anyway, it was a lot of fun. Hopefully I can get another one or 2 in.

Hi eg50,

Your entry for the Finders of the Lost Cache contest was received, so you will be entered into the draw for prizes. The winners will be announced at the GeoVenture event next weekend at Birds Hill Park. Hope you can make it out to that - it will be a great way to meet some of the local cachers, and even join in for some group caching adventures.
