PLANNING
I created a set of 14 searches for the Crowsnest Pass. However by 1 PM I had visited them all. Two were occupied by muggles and I planned to try them again on the return trip. I used my iPhone to obtain the coordinates for one additional cache, which involved a good hike up a hill. It was 2 PM by the time I was back at the truck, so I headed home with two searches still in front of me. At this point I was 13/13. The final result for the day was 14/15.
OUTCOME
8:45 am This was my 2nd search of the morning. I had a little difficulty realizing that an alley would provide me with access to the spruce tree. After that it was straight forward.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
I liked this hide. Part of the challenge was figuring out how to approach the area. TNLNSL. TFTC. Here are a few photos:
