Todays's geohash is just 5km away from Friday's. Should be an easy one to get to. I'll drive out there at 1:00pm and pick up around 5 geocaches in the area. Then I'll head over to the geohash around 4:30 and take a few pictures. It is in an isolated cul-de-sac. I don't expect to meet anybody out there or stay to long.

Left the house at 1:00 pm and went to Cougar Ridge. The first geocache I was going to get was "Lesson 06: Steganography - CPS101". Its located in the woods behind Cougar Ridge. I have been here twice before looking for it and have yet to find it. This time the Cache Owner has given me a clue and after searching for 15 minutes I finally find it.
 
Next I continued walking east in the woods and easily found "Paskapoo Slopes - Calgary Parks 100" geocache. I dropped off a travel bug, which is trying to get to Churchill, Manitoba. I continued northeast on the trail and easily found "Willy's Treasure Cache". I walked over to Old Banff Coach Road and tried to find the "Keturah" geocache. I must have been searching the shrubbery for 20 minutes, but never found it. I headed back to my car and then drove over to the "X marks the spot: Artist View Park - CCARS11" geocache and easily found it. Next I drove to the "Halloween Hideaway - CCARS11" geocache and easily found that one too!.It was almost 4:00 pm, so I drove over to the geohash site. When I got out of the car there were hounds at the house where the geohash was and they started howling. There was no one else around, so I quickly took a couple of pictures and then left.

Plans

Today's geohash is just 5km away from Friday's. Should be an easy one to get to. I'll drive out there at 1:00pm and pick up around 5 geocaches in the area. Then I'll head over to the geohash around 4:30 and take a few pictures. It is in an isolated cul-de-sac. I don't expect to meet anybody out there or stay to long.

Expedition

Left the house at 1:00 pm and drove over to Cougar Ridge. The first geocache I was going to get was "Lesson 06: Steganography - CPS101". Its located in the woods behind Cougar Ridge. I have been here twice before looking for it and have yet to find it. This time the Cache Owner has given me a clue and after searching for 15 minutes I finally find it.

Next I continued walking east in the woods and easily found "Paskapoo Slopes - Calgary Parks 100" geocache. I dropped off a travel bug, which is trying to get to Churchill, Manitoba. I continued northeast on the trail and easily found "Willy's Treasure Cache". I walked over to Old Banff Coach Road and tried to find the "Keturah" geocache. I must have been searching the shrubbery for 20 minutes, but never found it. I headed back to my car and then drove over to the "X marks the spot: Artist View Park - CCARS11" geocache and easily found it. Next I drove to the "Halloween Hideaway - CCARS11" geocache and easily found that one too!

It was almost 4:00 pm, so I drove over to the geohash site. When I got out of the car there were hounds at the house where the geohash was and they started howling. There was no one else around, so I quickly took a couple of pictures and then left.
