Geocache Activity 759

FIND 700

IDENTIFICATION

GC28T8C

Princess at the Point

N 44° 13.900 W 076° 36.548

Difficulty 1; Terrain 1.5; size small; Creator: Princess_Alex Date First Hidden: 5/25/2010 Date Last Found: 7/07/2010
Kingston, Ontario

Description After being introduced to geocaching this month and finding the searching aspect rather enjoyable, Princess_Alex has decided to try her hand at actually hiding a cache of her own. This is one of her favourite parks to go for a walk in. So if you like a pleasant walk down well maintained trails, you shouldn't have too much difficulty locating this one. Just off the trail in Lemoine Point - no bushwacking should be necessary, provided you select the correct trail. The trail is rather popular and can be very busy at times, so be careful of muggles. A small, cammo'd tupperware container filled with items selected by the princess, appropriate for other geocaching princesses. There is room for small trade and trackable items. No FTF prize, just an ego boost.

PLANNING

This was my second attempt to find this cache. This time I was going to focus on potential sites about 30 - 40 feet from the coordinate locations.

OUTCOME

The weather was sunny and warm so we all headed off to walk in the park in the morning. I was surprised at how difficult the searches turned out to be. I made a good effort for the first cache and was unable to locate it. I was able to check the website for this cache when we returned to our home base and noted that there was a problem with the coordinates. I was able to return to this site and checked out 3 nearby potential sites without success. I then noticed a few rocks that seemed unnatural and finally made a find.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

A very special cache find. It was #700 and it was only a couple of kilometers from where we lived for 14 years. Lemoine Point was one of our favorite hiking trails then and was full of memories today.

Here are two photos:

these rocks look promising

I am now 3/3 for today.
