PLANNING
Early this morning I downloaded the cache coordinates for two Earth caches, as well as 3 regular caches that I had failed to find when we were here last year. This was the second regular cache that I tried to find.
OUTCOME
After finding the two Earth Caches we continued up to Maligne Lake. The lake was still frozen over so we were soon back to Jasper for a late lunch. We then decided to drive west along the Yellowhead highway and see if we could find a couple of the caches that had eluded me last year. This was the second such cache. It only took about 2 minutes to spot. I can't believe I spent almost half an hour last year without seeing it.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
My second quick find along this highway. In both cases I was unable to find the cache last year. Took geocoin, left two TBs. SL. TFTC. Here are a few photos:
