Lethbridge

Description
This is accessible via Coalbanks Trail; but best bet is to park behind Lethbridge College. Some up & down through the coulees required. Depending which route you take, some parts of trails are washed out (usually on the less travelled trails). This is a popular area for hikers & mountain bikers. This cache is located between two coulees where there are alot of boulders & rocks. Container is a camoflauged ammo box. Contains log book, lots of swag, and a Travel Bug. There is also a FTF prize in with the log book!! This is our first hide!! Hope co-ordinates work out - took several readings - let us know how it goes! We enjoy spending time here; hope you do too!!

Hint Paradise will be hard to see from where the cache is. Watch your step!

PLANNING

This was the second cache to appear recently that involves a fairly lengthy hike to the cache site. I love these and am looking forward to completing the find for this one before it begins to snow.

OUTCOME

This was my only search of the day. I had some difficulty locating the container and not until I remembered the hint did I make any progress. Then I simply tried to find a spot where I could no longer see the Paradise Canyon golf course and sure enough, there it was. But even so, it wasn't obvious until after I moved a rock and then took a second look at the "pile"of rocks behind it.
Here is my posting to this geocaching.com website:

Fantastic weather for November. The route to the cache was very interesting - I took a lot of photos. The cache took me much too long to find. I took lots of photos of it as well. Thank you for everything! TNLNSL. Geocaching is fun!

Here are a few photos:
