For a long time we omitted this cache from our trips. It sounded like a difficult challenge, rightfully so. We’ve agreed to turn around and post a DNF if the cache proved to difficult or to dangerous for children. With that in mind we packed up and went for a trip with the single purpose of finding Lose Lake #2.

The first few caches we placed have been out there for a few years. The last log entries indicated some trouble. The rubbermaid containers were showing wear and tear. They are also not all that waterproof. We decided to make a trip with the primary purpose of maintaining the older caches.

Ok, this is not really GeoCaching but very much GPS related. The Degree Confluence Project is all about intersections of latitude and longitude lines across the globe. Here is the story of some Sioux Lookout folks that went out to document the 50°N 92°W confluence.
It is getting warmer, the snow is quickly disappearing. In fact, there is hardly any snow left. This Easter weekend was blessed with some outstanding warm weather. Great weather for yard work, ya right. Let’s go caching!

Another bright sunny Saturday that just begged for some outdoor activity, like Geocaching. We ended up driving Highway 105 towards Ear Falls to look for Cliff Lake and Franks’ Cache.

What a beautiful day we had today. Temperatures below zero but with no wind and intense sun it made for a great day to be out and about. After a slow start in the morning we bundled up the boys and headed for a caching adventure in Dryden. I had noticed that a few caches were visited just a few days ago. While I really didn’t like the idea of digging for caches under 2 or 3 feet of snow, a previous find should leave some nice tracks to cache.

We visited friends and families this summer between Calgary and Vancouver. Along the way of our travels we searched for quite a few GeoCaches.

Went after just one cache this wet Saturday afternoon.

The weather wasn’t all that great so this was the only find for today. Didn’t bring anything other then myself and the GPS. Took nothing and left nothing. Couldn’t do a log entry either.
I have 4 travel bugs on the loose. All four visited the Sioux Lookout # 2 cache on August 23, 2005. There they started their journey. They will be swiftly moved to various locations in Western Canada during our upcoming vacation.

Went shopping to Dryden, as we do often. Took a detour along Sandy Beach Road and picked up a couple of GeoCaches along the way.
