PLANNING
I set up a plan for 4 searches, all in (3) or near (1), Beauvais Lake Provincial Park. This will be the 9th provincial park where I have found at least one cache.
OUTCOME
This was my 3rd search of the day and the second in Beauvais Lake Provincial Park. It was a lovely hike to the top of the hill overlooking Beauvais Lake. There were numerous wildflowers out already and the sunshine was sparkling.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
A perfect day for a hike to the top. The wild flowers were gorgeous. Found a TB that was not listed. Left a geocoin. Loved the views! TFTC. Here are a few photos.
