Planting the caches.

From April 16^th to 25^th, in the Dubreuilville ATV Club’s 1^st Geocache Challenge, 39 adults and 18 children, explored the forests surrounding Dubreuilville, GPS in hand, searching for 5 caches that had been planted by club president, Danny Vallieres.  

 Upon registration, geocachers would receive the coordinates for their first
cache, they would then set out some via ATV others using a combination of
hiking and driving their regular vehicles.  Finding the first cache, they would sign their name and take the coordinates for the next, until having successfully found all five cache boxes. Many participants had never before participated in a geocache event and have since joined the Geocaching movement, creating profiles on www.Geocaching.com
