PLANNING
The weather is staying unseasonably warm. The forecast is sunshine with a high of +21 C. Definitely a day to try for the caches in Popson Park. OUTCOME
I left cache #6 at 1:10, was back at the trail junction to go up to the parking area at 1:35, and continued on west staying on the coulee flood plain, arriving at cache #7 at 1:55 PM.
The truck is up there a beaver's reach exceeds its grasp two logs between two logs - bark moved Oldman river clay river bank and outcrop Oldman river looking upstream the trail back
I was back at the truck at 2:30 PM. This was a full day, but one that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was great to be doing some serious hiking again. The coulees are much more interesting, and accessible, than I had realized before I began geocaching.
Total score for the day: 7 attempts, 7 finds. Scenery - priceless.
