PLANNING

I set up a route that would involve 12 geocaches along Highway 22 north of Pincher Creek. I also made note of 4 caches in Claresholm in the event that I had time left after the first 12 had been searched. The intent was the simple one of trying to clear the southern end of the valley between the Porcupine Hills on the east and the Livingstone Range on the west of all "unfound" caches. I left home about 7:30 am.

OUTCOME

9:20 am This was my first search of the morning. The cache area itself was very scenic and the school building was intact and in good shape. It was a beautiful sight as one approached it on the country road. The cache itself was a quick find - a small magnetic key holder attached to the wire by the post of the gate to the school yard.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

A very pretty school in a very scenic location. TFTC.

I am now 1/1 for today. A promising beginning to the day.
