PLANNING

I set up a route last night that would involve a total of 9 searches. I was not sure how many would be possible as three of the searches would involve some hiking, which is often difficult to estimate in terms of time taken. Then there is always the unknown factor of how long it actually takes to spot the cache once one is in the area. And there will also be a fair amount of driving between caches, sometimes on rural gravel roads. It promised to be a full day. But the weather was perfect: sunny, warm, no wind, blue sky.

OUTCOME

8:30 am This was my first search. I left Lethbridge at 7:30 and arrived in Cardston at about 8:20. I parked the truck across from the cache area and soon spotted the frisbee target. My first glance under the hood failed to reveal anything but I then tried again from a different angle and there it was.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

I almost missed seeing it on my first look. SL. TFTC.
