PLANNING

We will be spending 2 days in Jasper on our way to Kelowna. I have identified a few new caches in the near vicinity of the townsite and will see how many I can find.

OUTCOME

1:50 PM This was my first search of the day. We experienced a fair amount of snow on the drive from Edmonton but it had not reached the ground in the Jasper townsite. After checking in to the motel I did a little geocaching. I had just received my replacement Garmin GPS machine before we left Lethbridge and this was my first opportunity to try it out. The nearest cache was only about 100 m from our motel room.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

This was a very special find as I grew up in a house (now gone) three doors from this location. Heaven indeed! SL. TFTC!

Here are a few photos:
