St. Vital Park
The walls along the trail were made of ice to keep the tobbogans on the straight and narrow coming off the ramp. I am very sure that this area is very well used. It was deserted today. Off down more trails to get to our next destination. The park has a loop of road ways with a large network of groomed trails for hiking or skiing. It's a very nice place to go for whatever activity that a person chooses to do. 
We are now heading to our second search! We are hoping that we will have better luck then we did with our first one. The hides here seem more difficult to us! We get to the spot and again we walk around and expand our search and come back to the area where the GPS tells us that GZ is, it is starting to look like we are going to be beat again, when Diane comes up with the find, it was on the ground which we were not expecting by reading the information, but there is was in a hole in a tree! This is our 60th cache, yeah PartnerS!
Diane and I set out to gather our Leap Day caches about 10:30ish, it was -13C with a windchill of -21, we weren't sure if it would be a bit chilly! But we were going into wooded areas with protection from the wind. We headed out! There was one point on our map that we were not going to visit, as it was a distance away and it was rated at difficult. What do I do? Mistakenly put that point into the GPS! So we head out, the walk didn't seem so bad but when we got there we were doing the drunken bumble bee dance! The GPS would not give me an accurate reading, going this way and that way...so we did an honest to goodness search and then decided to give it up. But we did discover this tobbogan ramp that kids have a ball on I am sure.

We have been waiting for a little while to log our 60th. Now upward and onward!
On to our next destination which was a mico, by the description it should not have been hard to find, as it was near a tree with 2 limbs coming out of one stump! But which one? There were tracks near such a tree, the GPS was telling me that was the general area! There was a nice hole in the tree, but sure no cache in that hole! So we did a very wide search of this area and gave it up as a DNF. Diane was ready to call it a day as well and so that is what we did! Better luck in St. Vial Park next time!

There was also a real nice duck pond, which was perfect for skating! By the time we left the temperatures were nearing 0c. I was able to walk around without mitts at that point, there was a fair amount of melting going on, the sun is starting to have some good warmth already. I finished the day by coming into my area and grabbing 2 caches within .5 km of my house. I had been wanting to look for these for awhile now. So we logged 3 for our Leap Day caches, we discovered Regina travel bug as well.
