PLANNING
I had a full agenda for today. The first item was to replace a soggy logbook in one of my caches near Enchant. I then would continue driving east to the region south of Seven Persons where I wanted to set out 3 new caches in areas that currently had none. I also wanted to take the coordinates for a possible Earth Cache. I hoped I would then still have time to search for three caches on the west side of Medicine Hat before returning home.
OUTCOME
Much of the day was spent driving and setting out the containers for the three new caches. It was 3 PM before I began searching for the 3 caches near Medicine Hat. This was the first search. It was a relatively quick find once I determined that it was not on or under the cactus itself.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
I had time to search for three caches on the west side of Medicine Hat before heading back to Lethbridge. This was the first one. I like the idea and the information on the real thing. TN. Left a TB. SL. TFTC. Here are some photos:

I am now 1/1 for today. The wind was up and I forgot to take any photos of the actual container.
