PLANNING

We will be spending 2 days in Jasper on our way to Kelowna. I have identified 6 caches in the near vicinity of the townsite and will see how many I can find.

OUTCOME

12:00 PM This was my 4th search of the day. This was the 2nd of four caches along a trail on the east side of Cottonwood creek.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

#2 as we walk along the trail. Another example of looking at it a few times without seeing it. SL. TFTC.
