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 third cache on my list for today. My notes indicate that I found the cache 5 minutes after leaving the truck. Once again the brush was quite dense, but my GPS led me to the area. Fortunately there were no campers in the sites near the cache area. Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
Lovely log book! TNLNSL. TFTC. Here are a few photos.
