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
12:10 PM This was my 10th search of the day, and the first in the afternoon. My GPS unit gave excellent driving directions and I had a short pleasant walk to the cache.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
