PLANNING
Today was devoted to geocaching. I set up an early morning route for 11 caches in north Lethbridge. I found 10 and was unable to look for the 11th because of muggles. I came home and worked out an afternoon route for 10 caches in south Lethbridge. This time I found 9 caches and was unable to look for the 10th because of muggles. I came home and then set out again in the early evening, this time looking for the two I missed earlier as well as 6 new caches in south Lethbridge. I found one of the earlier muggled caches and 5 new caches and missed one more due to muggles. My total number of finds for today was 25 out of 25 (muggles preventing a search don't count). This is almost twice as many as my previous record for a single day. I doubt I will try to beat this but one never knows ...
OUTCOME
This was my 8th search of the day. From the description I had a hunch that this would involve a pine cone, and I was right. Fortunately the cache was a much larger cone than the numerous ones on the tree. Since the pine trees were all along a busy thoroughfare it required some dead reckoning to work my way through a nearby subdivisiion to a place where I could park and still not have to walk very far.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
Driving close to the cache area was an adventure in itself. The pine tree was in great shape as was your cache. SL. TFTC. Here are a few photos:
