IDENTIFICATION
GC2B197 Troll N 49° 40.328 W 112° 52.726Difficulty 2; Terrain 2; size micro; Creator: i_am_mischief Date First Hidden: 6/30/2010 Date Last Found: 7/04/2010 LethbridgeDescription My geocaching buddy and I wanted to hide a cache that was easy to see, easy to get to, but hard to get your hands on. Hope you enjoy! The cache is one of those black magnetic key boxes. Inside is only a log sheet. When we say, "may require swimming or wading", we mean "you may accidentally end up swimming or wading". BYOP. Hint You might have an easier time using a boat. Comments
PLANNING
After I returned home from my searches near the Lethbridge airport, I decided to walk over to Nicholas Sheran Park and see if I could register a find for a new cache that appeared 3 days ago.
OUTCOME
This was my 8th search of the day. This turned out to be easier than I expected. The cache did live up to its description. I spotted it as soon as I arrived at the bridge and I wasn't sure that I would be able to reach it. However as I worked my way along the outside of the bridge railing I realized that it would be relatively straight forward.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
A short walk and no splashdown. SL. TFTC. Here are a few photos:
