PLANNING

We were geocaching from 10 am until 1 PM. We set out with a list of 3 geocaches, all on the west side of the coulee. Two of these were caches that I had failed to find on an earlier trip. This was the first cache, and my first attempt.

OUTCOME

Today, with a fair amount of perseverance, we located all three caches. Fantastic! This is also the first time that I have found 3 in one day. I now have a total of 10. This was a good morning, for many reasons. First, it got us both outside for a full 3 hours, something we have been letting slip this summer. Second, we found all three geocaches on my list, two of which were my second attempt. Third, we saw one deer, one hawk (Swainson's), a Western Tanager (a new lifer for us) and a Snow Bunting (a second new lifer for us!).

Fourth, for the first time, we left something in two of the caches. We left an Aboriginal Art key chain in the Buffalo Roam cache. This seemed particularly appropriate for this cache.
