Expedition
I arrived at 12:00 noon. I parked at the Boulton Creek Trading Post. I grabbed my bear spray (Grizzly bear country out here) and headed north on the trail beside the parking lot. I followed the trail for 500 meters, then I headed into the thick forest. I bush whacked my way through the snow covered forest for 200 meters and reached ground zero. The forest opened up a bit and I was able to take a couple of pictures of the area. I then headed back to the trail and went searching for the nearby geocaches in the area. I found one by the trading post fairly easily, but I had to give up on finding the second one as the area it was in was too marshy to slog through for 300 meters. I returned home to Calgary around 3:00 pm.
