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

2:30 PM This was my 14th search. I left Lethbridge at 7:10 am. This was on the top of the coulee and a short walk from where I parked the car.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

Great views! SL. TFTC.
