West LethbridgeDescription On the side of a hill, but an easy walk from the bottom or the top. Film Canister that is camo-taped. Contains a log book.
Hints In the Title. Comments Fun spot to find, ended up on the wrong side of the coulee at first so we took a longer walk. PLANNING
The 2 caches GC1AK5Y - "Big Rock" and GC1AJBR - "Bushes" are on two sides of a deep ravine. The trick is to start with the high one and then take the trail down to the coulee bottom and then up another trail on the other side of the ravine. Then after finding the second cache to keep going until I am home. It is a good plan. OUTCOME
Total success. I was home in 2 hours with 2 more caches to my credit. I left the house at noon, was at the trail junction at 12:15, and beside the big rock at 12:30. I only had to consult my GPS unit once - at the edge of the coulee - I could see a big rock in line with my GPS route and sure enough, the cache was hidden under the edge of the rock.
