Crowsnest Pass

Description
I directed a camp for high school aged campers in the Summer of 2008. The camp's theme was PIRATES and TREASURE HUNTING (woot). The campers donated items to hide in the cache. Some of it is Pirish. This is my first cache. The cache is hidden in a round, clear, plastic container with a blue lid. It has a couple of playing cards, some plastic pirate coins, and a few other small plastic toys in it. Oh yeah, and a glowstick. This cache is on the edge of private property. Permission has been given to place the cache at this location.

**new** If you don't want to get seen in the active Summer season: There is a lot of activity on and near this property in the Summer. Like I've said, permission has been given to be there. However, if you want to try to find the cache when others won't see you (and eager young campers won't muggle your find), I suggest most mornings between 8am and 1:30 pm. Earlier is better. If you are caught, please be polite. Remember, the management has given permission, so you don't have anything to hide. The staff is friendly. If we all play nice, we should be able to leave the cache there for some time.

PLANNING

The Crowsnest Pass is one of my favorites geocaching areas. I set up a plan to search for 10 caches near Highway 3, one of which was a puzzle cache that I solved a few weeks ago.

OUTCOME

This was my 2nd search of the morning. This turned out to be easier than I expected as the cache was just outside the fence for the summer camp.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

9:35 am My second find of the morning. No muggles in sight. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Here are a few photos:
