PLANNING
I created a plan for searching for 7 geocaches in the Hillcrest/Bellevue area of the Crossnest Pass. Looking at the descriptions for these caches I sensed there would be both some hiking as well as some difficult searches as there were a number of micro-sized caches in the group. I figured 7 searches would take much of the day and I was not too confident of finding all of them. On the other hand this is a beautiful part of the province and I enjoy being among the mountains at any time. The weather forecast was for sunshine but with some wind.
I was taking my sling pack as well as my Panasonic DMC-ZS3 camera. I am still trying to develop, and stick to, a more rigorous routine of keeping track of the timing of each search plus taking more photos of the search.
OUTCOME
This was the last search in my plan to look for 7 geocaches.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
I was surprised to find the markings on the tree so quickly. Cache is dry and in good shape. TNLNSL. TFTC. Here are a few photos:
