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 7th, and last search of the day. I was now on my way home from Pincher Creek and had 2 searches in Fort Macleod to complete my list.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

Last one in a loop of caches for today. SL. TFTC.

I am now 7/7 for today.

I thought I was done for the day but about 8 in the evening I received a phone call saying that they were holding GeeCee for ransom. There was a follow-up email later that night with the following attachment:

I had left Pincher Creek without GeeCee!

Fortunately TeamDJM were the next geocachers to arrive at the site and they recognized GeeCee immediately and decided to make a quick buck out of my misfortune. Now I will have to begin saving for the ransom demand. I suspect it will have to be paid in Timmies cards.
