PLANNING
There are 13 caches in west Lethbridge. After finding two caches that were within walking distance I returned home and made a list of another 6 caches that would form a circle route. Then off I went again, this time in the truck.
OUTCOME
This was my 7th cache of the day. I parked the truck at the end of the subdivision road and had a short hike up the hill to the cache site. With accurate coordinates, I had little difficulty finding the rocky container.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
Lovely park. The muggles like it too. I had no difficulty finding the cache but while I was signing the logbook a number of young muggles arrived and began having a grand time in the water falls. I finally realized they planned on staying for awhile so left to search for another and then return to replace the container. Mission accomplished I came back to see they were still having a grand time. There is something about youth and water ... The elapsed time between finding the container and returning it was now 2 hours and counting. They finally left and I pulled up at the same time as another vehicle. It quickly became clear they were not geocachers but landscapers. I pretended I was a photographer and 20 minutes later had an opportunity to slip the container back where it belonged. Here are a few photos:

GeeCee with rocky containerI am now 7/7 for today. This was the first time I had left a cache site without immediately replacing the container. But I was pretty sure that if any other geocachers arrived they would also wait until the muggles left before attempting a search.
