PLANNING
This was a new experiment for me. I had downloaded a large number of caches in the Medicine Hat area to my GPS unit using a pocket query. I then headed out and as I approached a cache icon on my GPS I would enter the GC code into my iPhone to obtain a description and the coordinates. I was curious to see how well this would work.
OUTCOME
8:50 am. This was my first search. I left Lethbridge at 7:10 am. This was encouraging. I had no difficulty finding the cache. Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
