Geocaching Guidebook to Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley

Want to ensure you are able to get a softcover or e-book copy of the Geocaching Guidebook to Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley before you head to the Pacific Northwest?

Get yourself on the pre-order list using this simple form, and you'll be contacted as soon as the book is ready for order!


More information about the book:

This guidebook has been written with the geocacher in mind, but more so, with the geocacher who has friends or family who aren’t as keen about the hobby coming along to visit what I feel is one of the most beautiful and amazing places on earth that I am blessed to call home.

The 160+ pages of this book includes GC codes and insider tips for hundreds of active geocaches, lists of the top geocaches to find in a variety of categories and ratings, information on how to travel to and around the region you'd only get from a local, and details on day trips to other amazing locations outside of the Lower Mainland of BC. Add to this a variety of insights into activities and locations that would appeal to the non-geocachers (and the geocaches closest to them) and you've got an indispensable resource you'll want to have before you visit!

Chapters include:

  • Must Find Geocaches
  • Top 10 High Terrain Caches & How to Get to Them
  • Top 10 Puzzle or Mystery Caches
  • Adventure Labs and Where to Find Them
  • Where Geocaches and Attractions Overlap
  • Geotours and Geocoin Challenges
  • Events and Festivals
  • Family-Friendly Things to Do 
  • Find the Most Unique Views
  • Where to Hold a Meet & Greet Event
  • Dangerous Plants and Animals
  • Free and Discounted Stuff
  • Day (& Multi-Day) Trips from Vancouver



And much, much more!

Want Pro-Tips for Geocachers AND Muggles to Love Their Visit to BC, Canada?


Well then friend, you've come to the right place!
This Fall I will be making the first edition of "The Geocachers Handbook to Metro-Vancouver & the Fraser Valley" available to LANMonkey Patrons!
This book is the compilation of two years of effort of combining all the best geocaching and non-geocaching visitor experiences from the region. 




Painstaking research including colour photos of various highlights will assist the experienced and novice visitor to our beautiful region in understanding the local history, geography, transit & transportation, amenities, and family friendly attractions.


Oh, and did I forget to mention the geocaches? The book will highlight some real pro-tips on what the must find geocaches in a variety of categories are, and include tips from my personal experience on how to find them and what to expect on your adventure.

The book will be invaluable to any visitor, and is offered first to those who have invested in supporting my efforts to publish quality geocaching and travel adventure information and entertainment for the past several years.

Any level of Patreon support will have access to the book for download once it's ready for you later in 2019. 

However, to give you a taste of what's to come, here's an overview of the chapters of the book at the moment:


  1. The Cities and Suburbs
  2. Getting Here
  3. Must-Find Geocaches
  4. Where Geocaches & Attractions Overlap
  5. Best Secret Spots
  6. Getting Outside the Cities
  7. Free (and Discounted) Stuff
  8. Day (& Multi-Day) Trips from Here
  9. Other Resources & Contacts for Geocaching in South Western BC


The first chapter has already been made available to Patrons for download as an early thank-you for their support, and is available to any new Patrons.

If you are curious about how to access this once it's published, follow our social media channels @LANMonkeyGC on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, or better yet, sign up as a Patron and support the work, plus get other great patron bonuses & perks!
