Welcome to CCARS12!

Cache and Release SPRING 2012 (CCARS12) event will be held on May 26-27, 2012!

Cache and Release is a multi-day geocaching event with three goals:

  • Having fun
  • Encourage geocache hiders, like you, to hide your best cache ever, and thus raise the quality of geocaches in the Calgary area,
  • Create a fun-filled 24-hour geocaching finding frenzy for people like you!

Anyone can participate in Calgary Cache and Release and to be honest, the more - the merrier! We hope to see you at some time during the weekend!

Scheduled Events

  • Pizza & Beer - Thursday 24th May, 2012. Come to Rickies at Chinook to strategize, exchange hints on the puzzles, seek out transportation during the event and hear the buzz of cellphones as the CCARS12 caches are published.
  • Launch Event - Saturday 26th May, 2012 We'll start off on the right foot with a CITO event (GC3CHBC) This is a great time to finalize your car-pool arrangements, meet your fellow seekers and get our GPS receivers readied!
  • Midnight Event - Saturday 26th May, 2012- 11:59pm - Sunday, 27th May, 2011 - 1:30am Twelve hours after hitting the road, it's time to pull over and take a break! Want to know who else is still out there at this crazy hour? Need to take on some energy? This is the only place to be at midnight on this wild night!
  • Wrap-up Event - Sunday 27th May, 2012 - noon Twenty-four hours later and it's time to park that CCAR car and cosy on in with your fellow road-weary hunters! Grab something refreshing to drink and pick up some lunch, fill out your voting card and sit back and share your mostly true lies from the highways and byways!
