IDENTIFICATION
GC11JJ2 El Scotto Grande N 49° 42.069 W 112° 52.138Difficulty 1.5; Terrain 1.5; size - regular. Creator: 9yjguy . Date First Hidden: Mar 19/07 Date Last Found: Aug 5/08 West LethbridgeDescription The cache is a clear plastic container. This one is a little bit of a hike. I would say round trip is just under 1 hour. Take a moment and check out the blind (you'll see what I mean). This entire area is a very peaceful place to sit and relax. Enjoy. Because this is a nature reserve the cache is hidden right beside the trail (approx 7 feet). There is no need to hike around in the brush. Follow the path.
Hints PLANNING
This was the third of four caches on my list for today. It was very windy but I wanted to see how I would fare under these conditions. The good news was that it was relatively warm (+12 C). OUTCOME
I am familiar with this area from previous birdwatching trips. I had no difficulty following the trail, then making a sharp right down some stairs on the path that leads to a duck blind. The cache was seven feet to the right once I was off the stairs.
train on bridge long train on bridge wetlands path beside wetlands path at bottom of steps log 7' to the right of the trail behind the log cache just beyond the cache this looks like it will be finished tonight
This was my third fast find. I found the first cache at 1:40, the second at 2:10, and this one at 2:30. Once again, the actual search once I was in the area only took a few seconds.
