IDENTIFICATION
Difficulty 2; Terrain 1.5; size nano; Creator: King.Tut Date First Hidden: 10/03/2010 Date Last Found: 10/09/2010 Description The reason for the other category is because there is none for something smaller than a micro. We need a nano category. This would be classed as such. Your mission is to sweep the area looking for mines. When you come across one please be extremely careless, I mean careful in taking it apart, and even be more careful putting it back. If all goes well you will have successfully swept the area of mines. Congratulations!!! Hint it's cammoed of course. step carefully Comments
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
11:15 am. This was my 5th search. I left Lethbridge at 7:10 am. This is one of the most difficult geocaches that I have encountered. Basically it was a very small nano that was just lying on the ground. Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
This took awhile. I was lucky to spot it. I also gained a new respect for minesweeping. SL. TFTC. Here is a photo:
I am now 5/5 for today.
