Henderson Park Cache # 3

  Difficulty 3; Terrain 1.5; size - small. Creator: TeamDJM. Date First Hidden: May 26/08

Description

We've always felt that there should be more then one cache in this lovely park, so here is another. Henderson Lake is surrounded by a 2.8 km paved and shale walking path. There is a 4.3 km path around the perimeter of Henderson Park intself. The Park is 47 hectares (117 acres) built around a 60 acre man made lake and has been in existence for almost 100 years. The lake was originally a slough, but William Henderson, one time Mayor of Lethbridge, was instrumental in establishing the park and the lake.

The level of difficulty is 3 as this is very high muggle territory. Is wheel chair accessable until the last few meters. Be careful! Lots of water and rocks. Small 4x4 LnL. Original contents include a FTF Timmies gift card, a geocoin to send on its way, and some small trade items.

UPDATE: 10 Aug 08 - Someone has hidden the cache about a meter away from original location due to the ants. We will leave it there for now.

UPDATE: 20 Aug 08 - Ants seem to be gone so put container back in original location.

Hints Painted dark.  
Comments   My 1st attempt.

PLANNING

I downloaded the geocache locations in Henderson Park a while back. It is time I see what happens when I visit the park and try to find them. The weather is overcast and light rain comes and goes. Not a great day for geocaching but I am eager to rectify at least one of my DNFs from yesterday.

OUTCOME

What can I say? Yesterday I focused on an empty container and forgot to turn around.
