PLANNING

My interest in geocaching is gaining momentum. I am going to try for another cache today - this time the TB Hotel in Lethbridge. It is a larger cache - I am taking a break from the micro-caches for awhile - and am looking forward to seeing how well this works with the car. I am also interested in seeing how geocaching can be combined with local histories. Another idea is to use the GPS unit to provide coordinates for cemetery plots while doing genealogical research. I have downloaded the site, using the MyGarmin website, and have had "Matilda" plot a route from my house. The site is stored as a "Favorite" in Matilda (the name we have given our unit). This is the first time I have used my car to find a cache.

OUTCOME

I had no difficulty finding the cache. Matilda did a fine job of giving me directions. This was much easier that looking for "micros" in trees, or under bridges. There were 2 Travel Bugs (TBs) in the hotel. TB462212 was Grandma's Alaskan Afghan and TB33P4BX was a Deadwood Souvenir. Here is my post: I am back from my visit to the Lethbridge TB Hotel. This morning I learned to pay attention to the garbage wheelies in the lane. My car was almost run over by the garbage truck making its rounds while I was in the hotel visiting. I found two guests in the hotel, but they were just getting up when I arrived. I managed to get them to pose for a photo but I was a bit early for a coffee. The tall guest is from Deadwood, South Dakota and had his mouth open telling me about his journey. The other lady, trying to comfort him, was from Alaska.
