PLANNING

This morning I made a quick sortie south of Lethbridge to search for 7 possible geocaches. The first cache had the incorrect coordinates posted and this threw me off. But the next 6 geocaches unfolded according to plan. My total is now 697.

OUTCOME

This was my 2nd search of the day. I was in a bit of a hurry as rain was forecast for later this morning and I was eager to bring my total number of finds close to 700. This would then make it possible for me to have my 700th find in Kingston, Ontario.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

As you know, trains (real, and small) are hobbies of mine. Love the idea of a set of hobby caches. TNLNSL. TFTC.
