Lethbridge

Description
This is my first Multi-Stage cache and the first stage is a very small micro canister and you might need tweezers, just enough room for the coordinates of the second stage. It is right by the Hungarian Canadian hall. The second is a small canister that contains pencil, logbook and the usual swag pluss a FTF prize, a key chain of the old Hungarian map you see there layed of rocks. Both are very easy terrain. I sett this cache up because I would like to introduce the Hungarian community and I am proud of this monument here. Because I was part of it when it was built. I was a member of the committee which organized it. An other member of the grup did the design of the landscaping. Him and me did the work of it. An other local company did the big construction of it, like placed that big rock which is standing up there, in a concrete base. So the story of this monument is, when it was the Alberta centenial in 2005. The southern Alberta Hungarians came up with the idea as a present to the city of Lethbridge because we immigrated here. The bird up on the top of the rock is the "Turul madar" (saker falcon) is the symbol of freedom for the Hungarians. They thought about this bird because most of them came here as refugees and they got freedom here. There is also a plaque for the 1956 revolution. The rock work on the ground we did is a map of the old Hungary before the world wars. Hungary is just 1/3 size of it now. The seven cedar trees resemble the seven tribes before they setteled in the Danubian basin and than became one nation. So the nest for the second stage is in the midle "teer" !!!

Hint First stage is a magnetic micro and the second is in the midle ("teer" = tree) !!!

PLANNING

This cache has been out for 3 days but I just noticed the posting for it this morning. I had some errands to do in that vicinity and decided to try for the cache at the same time.

OUTCOME

I spotted the first cache almost immediately. I was there about 7:30 am so there was no problem with muggles. I then drove over to the posted coordinates for the second cache and parked the truck near City Hall. This time the hint was valuable and I soon had the second cache "found". I signed the logbook and took a Travel Bug.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

Nice sequence and a great memorial. Thanks for the information on the web site. Took TB. Signed log. I was finding this cache at the same time that you were finding The Key Cache. :-)

Here are a few photos:
