Description We always enjoy coming out to this little oasis in the prairie. It's a nice drive in any season with an enjoyable destination. Back in the "day" a few famous Canadians have eaten in the nearby historic 1887 Pullman Rail Car. Due to the terrain this small cammo cache is the approximate size of watch box. West side of road.

Hint About a 100 ties to the west..give er take a few!

PLANNING

There was no plan for today but I was aware of a couple of caches on our route home from Edmonton and decided to see if the iPhone was in range of a tower as we approached them.

OUTCOME

This was the first search. The iPhone was working and it pointed us to the right spot. It proved to be a nice hide, under one of the rails and with a metal plate hiding it from view. I left a TB in the container.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

Nice hide. Always enjoy a railway themed cache. TN, Left TB, SL. TFTC.

Here are a few photos:
