Located in the Exchange district of Downtown Winnipeg.

This cache is a small Lock and Lock box held in place with magnets. Due to the size of the cache there is only room for the log, a small pencil and a few small trading items/travel bugs. Once at the cache look west and the name of the cache should make sense. *** update*** That is it used to make sense. As the banner that the cache is named for is no longer hung on the side of the Walker Theatre, the name won't make sense. Thanks to "family_d" for pointing this out. Please check out the image of the now gone banner included in the cache listing and/or the "family_d" log.*** Please use stealth as this is a high traffic area. One of the cache attributes may provide a clue. After you find the cache have a sit down and do a little people watching from the small park west of the cache.

I had just finished finding "Exchange District" when I realized I still had quite a bit of time to kill. Let's once again go over the options of what a geocacher can do in spare time:

1. Geocache


2. Goto 1.

Hence... I pulled out the GPS and checked what was close. THIS particular cache was probably the closest, so I figured "I've got time... the sun is still up-ish... and I've got a hankering to find me some hidden stuff hiding in seemingly random places!"

Although, I still have zero clue what the name of this geocache is supposed to mean. But then again, on occasion I can be kinda dense that way .

So I walked. Surprisingly, THIS time my sense of direction was actually better. That, or the luck I was having from the previous cache had rubbed off a bit on my walking, and I happened to actually make a relatively straight line from where I was to where this was hidden . After passing by the cache by about 10 or so feet, I looked around and boggled as to where the cache could be hiding. Poked around here and there, and couldn't seem to locate anything off the top of my head. Once again had to resort to yonder Palm Pilot and check the description. The first sentence helped a bit, but then I looked at the hint. Once again being boggled, I walked around a bit. And that's when I spotted the reference.

And then it AAAAAAALL became clear that I had walked straight past it only minutes ago. Steping closer, I did a quick feel to see if my hand hit something. It did, and it felt cache-like. Which was good, because if it felt giant spider-egg-like, or weird-squishy-unidentifiable-like, I probably would have been weirded right the hell out.

I'm not fond of unexpected surprises of the above variety .

In either case... none of the above occured, but there was still people walking and driving about. Standing and leaning in such a position to look like I was waiting for someone (or so I hoped), I waited for the lights to JUST change so that everyone would theoretically be looking at the road instead of me. Also, I had positioned myself in such a way that any movement on my part should have been nicely shielded from view.

Moments later, the cache container was in hand. It was quite full though, so it got a micromail ball as it's signature chainmail. Signed me up some logbook, and clasped it shut again. Another wait-for-the-lights-to-change later, and it was secured back in place. Victorious again, I headed out, triumphant . Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?

Note: I've been watching a lot of the A-Team lately .
