Assiniboine forest caching #2

And Then There Were Two

Two of us braved the colder temperatures and slight wind today to go out on our adventure!  The temp was -16c with a wind chill of -26c, with light snow falling.   We started walking with a brisk pace and kept warm, the wind in the forest was at a minimum.  We were fine as long as we were moving, but as soon as I had to bare my hands, the first time to sign a log book my hands were ice cubes.  When my hands got cold I used Hot Hands2  this was the first time I used them!  They are amazing!  When the packet is exposed to the air it heats up, I put them into my mitts and wrapped my fingers around it,  the hot hands stayed hot for about 6 hours.  I will stock up on them from here on in.  We had a great caching day, getting 8 !  I don't have many pics today as my camera pooped out, bummer.  Gerry's "eagle caching eyes" were peeled today, he was spotting them right away.

We found 2 hides by the Boy Scout Troop placed while out hiking in the forest.  The one cache shelter was very unique and cool, a wood teepee, not sure if they used it as a shelter and then decided to shelter a cache inside. 

Another hide by a local cacher was placed in a quality piece of real estate, a well ventilated house for sure!  We looked this house up and down, round and round very carefully and thought that we would have to pass up on this offer today, but in the end we had success and put in our offer!  This was a cool hide, our first ammo box container.  Lots of room in it for tradeables.
We hiked and bushwacked until we were tired hikers and decided to call it a day and hike out about 2 pm. Backsides et al dragging we headed to our starting point and the car.
