Description

This cache welcomes you to British Columbia via the Crows Nest Pass on Highway #3. . .unless of course, you are leaving for Alberta, in which case, ciao! A regular cache with lots of goodies to start. There are several nearby caches, on both sides of the border. During the winter, you will have to stop at the gate that leads to the rest stop. Otherwise, let you trusty GPS lead the way!

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

11:00 am. This was my 5th search of the morning. The combination of the Garmin with about 1/4 of the display missing plus the use of the iPhone (thank goodness there was a strong signal) allowed me to continue searching for the caches that I had planned.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

It will be nice to add another BC cache to my totals. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Here are a few photos:
