Cardston

Description This is one of four caches that show some of the amazing scenery near or have a great view of Cardston. Each cache looks in a different direction. This one looks North where you can see most of Cardston and the Temple. There are even benches nearby where you can sit and relax. This is a micro and has no writing instrument, so please bring one. Please stay uphill from the cache as there may be barbed wire in the area that we were unable to remove. Watch your step. Enjoy the view! As a bonus, inside the cache is a partial coordinate to a separate multi-cache we have placed in the area. Finding all four “Grand View” caches will give you the ability to find “Grand View – Bonus”.

PLANNING

I wanted to clear this set of 5 caches off my list, but was waiting for the snow to melt. Today seemed like a good day to try this. I downloaded the cache information to my Garmin nuvi and made a set of notes in my small notebook that gave the coordinates as well as the size of the cache. I took my iPhone with me in case I needed a description or any additional information. This time I was determined to take a few more pictures as well as keep time of when I arrived at each location and how long it took me to find the cache.

OUTCOME

This was my third search. It took me 6 minutes to drive from the second search to this one and to get ready to leave the truck. I left the truck at 12:24 PM and spotted the container at 12:28. Once again I took the container back to the truck, which was only a few feet away, to sign the log book. I was ready to move on at 12:34. This time it took 4 minutes to find the cache and 6 minutes to sign the logbook and take a few photos.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

I was lucky to spot this one quickly. SL. TFTC.
