Caption from metadata for 535-1794-1: "Terry Hewitt gets a reading on his Global Positioning Satellite receiver, as he hunts for a treasure box hidden somewhere on Burnaby Mountain. He's a geocacher, a worldwide community of outdoor enthusiasts who search for treasure boxes of trinkets, hidden by fellow geocachers, following a series of cryptic clues and satellite coordinates."
Caption from metadata for 535-1794-2: "Terry Hewitt accumulates clues that will lead him to the hidden treasure on Burnaby Mountain."
Caption from metadata for 535-1794-3: "Geocachers use Global Position Satellite receivers to decipher the location of small treasure boxes hidden away in parks or in the wilderness."
Caption from metadata for 535-1794-4: "After a series of clues lead him into the sculpture garden at Discovery Park on Burnaby Mountain, Terry Hewitt plots his next move that will get him closer to the hidden treasure box."
Caption from metadata for 535-1794-5: "Terry Hewitt is an avid geocacher, following clues and satellite coordinates to find treasure boxes hidden by fellow geocachers."
Caption from metadata for 535-1794-6: "Having followed a series of clues and satellite coordinates, Terry Hewitt finds the treasure box hidden on Burnaby Mountain. The box contains a log in which fellow geocachers record the date they found the box, and trinkets. When geocachers find a box, they exchange a trinket for one of their own, and then return the box to its hiding place."
