New Brunswickers are geocaching to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the March of New Brunswick’s 104th Regiment.
Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunting activity that uses GPS coordinates to find hidden containers or iteams of any shape or size. Geocacher and retired military Major Randall Haslett tells CHSJ news they'll use replicated soldiers backpacks as the caches. They'll be hidden along the route and at outpost locations used by the 104th Regiment.
These geocaches will be installed over the next several months and will be activated during the 200th Anniversary activities in March.
In February and March 1813, New Brunswick’s 104th Regiment of Foot marched up the St. John River to Upper Canada in support of the military efforts underway as part of the War of 1812.
