Where are you Caching? 

While hunting for that illusive treasure you find yourself passing unusual structures, old ruins, and haunting monuments.  You notice notches cut into massive rotting stumps and chunks of machinery rusting in the distant forest.   Broken bricks are strewn across your path. 

The average muggle may dismiss these artefacts as urban garbage, but to the keen-eyed geocacher,  it's obvious that the area  was once used for something else. 

Many of Vancouver's parks are built on land reclaimed from the massive factories of the industrial age.  Other parks are built on ancient Native lands.  Among the neatly cut trails and manicured gardens hidden clues to the past are everywhere. 

This site is designed as a supplement to help make the caching experience more enjoyable.  The links listed on the right will give a historical overview of the areas you will find Scruffster's caches.  You may just discover something more than expected during your next hunt.

What's Next?

With the Treasures Resurfaced Tour coming to an end, I am setting my sights on another series based on "The Vancouver that Never Happened."  This series would centre around enthusiastic grandiose plans that, for various reasons, never made it passed the drawing board.  Such caches might include:
 
The World's Fair of 1936 Vancouver's Monorail Marina (floating) City
Spanish Banks Airport Vancouver 200 Red Light District / Casino Alley
Disneyland North The Water Wheel Great Underground Shipping tunnel
