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
1:10 PM This was my 7th search of the day. Only 20 minutes from the previous cache. I retrieved a geocoin from this cache and will place it in a new cache in the near future.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
This my second find after returning from the Fire Lookout cache. The scenery in this part of the province is truly impressive! Took geocoin, left nothing, SL. TFTC. Here are a few photos:
