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
2:50 PM This was my 8th search for the day. This turned out to be a quick park and grab, as I quickly found the container at the base of the tree.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
Beautiful park! The park was deserted this afternoon. C'mon down! TNLNSL. TFTC. Here are a few photos:
