Medicine Hat
Description This is a peanut butter plastic container hidden in a very unique stop high above the flood plain. This area suffered major flooding in June of 2010 and five of seven bridges were washed out. It contains a golf glove, ball markers, dice and a pin. One should always be on the lookout for critters in the grass etc. Parking is very close bye and the cache could even be wheelchair assessible. Just a little bit of slope.
Hint For some it is a pipe dream to drain their golf ball for a hole in one.

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

10:15 am. This was my 4th search. I left Lethbridge at 7:10 am. I realized where the cache was as soon as I approached it.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

Great location. Everything is still dry and in good shape. TNLNSL. TFTC.
