Location

1 Km Southwest of the Glencoe Golf and Country Club in Calgary, AB. Near Hwy 8 and on Range Road 32

Participants

Guzzby

Plans

Plan on driving out to the hash site around 1:30pm. Take some pictures. There is one geocache nearby that I will try to find. Then I am going to search for 2 other geocaches in the area nearby, that I wasn't able to find last summer.

Expedition

Left at 1:30pm. Arrived around 2:00pm. Was actually able to stand on ground zero and take some pictures!. Couldn't get near the first geocache, too many people. Found the second geocache. Searched for 30 minutes for the third geocache, but couldn't find it. I think it's gone.
