Geocaching JP

My roomy JP is a geocacher. I had never heard of such
a thing.

BTW JP wants you to know JP is short for Jean-Paul. His
family came to Halifax Nova Scotia Canada from
France and re-located to Montreal
after his mother gave up trying to learn English!

JP lives in St. Hubert, Quebec where he has overcome
adversity to be retired(insider joke from watching the tear-
jerker stories it seems every Olympic athlete has).

Geocaching is a worldwide high-tech treasure hunting game played
by adventure seekers equipped with a GPS device.

The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches.

Go to: Geocaching.com for an interesting stroll through
the sport.

It is played by people from around the world with an
emphasis on community and support for the environment.

The attached picture shows JP's find while in Calgary, Alberta
to attend the Grey Cup game.

The top of his hand holds the travel bug purchased and registered
by the hider. Registering it allows for tracking. The bottom is the
cache, a football helmet medallion. The hider wanted the cache
to visit as many stadiums as possible. JP then took the cache to
Montreal and hid it there. Nobody but thieves(muggles) keep
the caches. They are for everyone to enjoy.

Muggles are a problem, so one must be mindful of who is around
them when they hide or find a cache. Keep an eye out for JP he
might be in your neighborhood and you don't even know it. JP
has found two geocaches while in Whistler. He left three coins
but did not take any.
