The 21st edition of the Avalanche geocaching event was a great success on February 28, bringing together more than 120 geocachers from across the province who braved the winter to discover the beautiful Lotbinière region.
Although the day started with rain, attendees took the opportunity to complete their bingo cards and finally match faces with several geocaching nicknames. It was a great moment for chatting, meeting new people and reconnecting with friends from the geocaching community.
Once the sun returned, the trails leading to the caches recently placed by cpilote and pamphile probably saw more visitors than during the rest of the season 😜. Geocachers were able to fully enjoy the terrain and the caches specially prepared for the event.
The day wrapped up with the traditional group photo followed by the door prize draw, including the 50/50 raffle and a beautiful wooden chest handcrafted by Golfeur40HX. A big thank you to our sponsors, as well as to oiseau_ca, who generously provided the Avalanche 2026 wooden tokens and souvenir pins.
A huge thank you to the event organizers cpilote, pamphile, RoseDesVents and Bouzibelle! The DJ kept the atmosphere lively throughout the day, while the canteen service and the large containers filled with coffee, tea and chicken broth helped keep everyone warm and energized at the welcome pavilion.
Finally, thanks to tipete, Marvin A and Dalia73, who managed the shop throughout the event. They distributed the Avalanche 2026 geocoins to those who had pre-ordered them and offered visitors a refreshed inventory of travel bugs, decals and geocaching containers for their upcoming caching adventures.
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of this 21st edition of Avalanche. We hope to see many of you again at future geocaching events!
