PLANNING
The sky was clear when I woke up and I set up a plan to search for 8 geocaches in southern Alberta. The overall plan was to form a loop beginning with highway 5 to Waterton and then back roads to Pincher Creek and then highway 3 back to Lethbridge, passing through Fort Macleod.
OUTCOME
This was the first cache on my list. I left Lethbridge at 7:50 am and filled up the gas tank in Cardston at 8:50 am. I left the truck to search for the cache at 9:05 and had found the cache at 9:08 am. This was a very thoughtful and touching cache - the first I have seen like this. The cache was hidden in a bird house (I have seen this before) but the container gave a new set of coordinates to a particular grave site - that of the sister of the cache creator. Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
Nicely done. Left TB, SL. TFTC. Here are a few photos.
