IDENTIFICATION
Difficulty 1.5; Terrain 1; size micro; Creator: PASSTRACKER Date First Hidden: 6/07/2010 Date Last Found: 7/27/2010 Description This cache is located along a section of the Crowsnest walking path, situated in the east end of Blairmore, beside the scenic Crowsnest River. It is located near the bridge crossing the Lyons Creek just south of were it meets the Crowsnest River. When you have found this cache, continue on your stroll west as there are several other caches along the way. You will need to bring a pencil of your own, the cache is too small to hold one. Have fun and enjoy the path! Hint Magnetic, should be a very easy find! Comments
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
9:55 am This was my 5th search of the morning and only 10 minutes from my previous search. I have now driven from Hillcrest to Blairmore. The magnetic key holder was at the base of the garbage bin.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
Surprisingly, this turned out to be a quick find. TNLNSL. TFTC. Here are two photos:
