Comments Another great hide goodkid. Was about to give up and move on but I just couldn't leave it behind, and good thing I didn't.  

PLANNING

We left Lethbridge at 7:00 am (temperature -5 C). We had a list of about 20 geocaches that were potential targets for the day's searches. These were all downloaded onto our GPS units, we had printouts of the descriptions, and warm clothing.

OUTCOME

This was our first attempt of the morning. The weather was actually quite pleasant - no wind, bright blue sky, and a temperature of -5 C.

Our GPS identified the tree and it only took a few seconds to realize the hide, which was quite clever.
