Geocaching in St. Albert Alberta

Two Daughters and Mama!


Chicksteroos first find

Sunday, and the sun is shining for us again!  We are heading into St. Albert today for our caching adventures.  Today I am using Kal's GPS and it was so nice to just plug it into the computer and download the co ordinates, wow so easy, I love it! Here again in St Albert we discovered the little neighborhood parks.  These little parks will be so nice to discover in the summertime, they have benches to sit on and enjoy the scenery.  I am always amazed at how many little parks each town has.  What a wonderful way to discover them!  K&Ccache is a great pilot and navigator, getting around to all the spots that we had to get to, with limited help from the map that had a very few street names on it.  Our first destination! We walked along the paved path till we got to the park and the gps was telling us it was in a tree, Chicksteroos geosenses were on high alert and she found it pronto, her very first, and here's the proof!
The temperature was in the low +'s again today with a little bit of breeze

which makes it a bit chilly at times.  Off to our next find through another little park and then around a fence to a spruce tree!  I am not sure who made this find, K&Ccache may have seen it first, but there was a little to do about touching it!  You touch it, no I don't want to!  What if it moves...what if it bites me? I rather it bite you!



It was K&Ccaches find!

As always click on the pics to enlarge!

Hummmm, do birds nest when there is still snow?  It did look realistic, the bird was faced away from the front of the nest and that made it hard to tell that it was a decoy!  It was certainly a fun cache, we liked this one.  I marked this one as a favorite of mine.  I believe that for every 10 finds you get to pick 1 favorite. 

The next one was through another park with a little bit of bushwacking in some fairly thick undergrowth.  This one was a small ammo box hidden under a stump, it was pretty neat.  There were a few tradeables in it, they were all in good shape and nice and dry.  I did not see any garbage swag in any of the caches that we looked in over the weekend, all neat stuff for the right person.  We took nothing and where we could we left a ladybug fridge magnet and a sig card.  Both girls spotted this one.

 Somewhere in between these caches I found one which was my only one of the day.  It was a micro that was laying on the ground so we signed it and I hung it back up.  We seemed to have missed getting a picture of this one.  Just for the record, I was not skunked!  The next find was a lock and lock container in another little park.  Most of these were quite easy finds.

On to another little park with a little bit of bushwacking for find number 6 which was another small ammo box, the ammo boxes are a real nice container if you are hiding in the bush.  There is lots of room to put tradeables and the box keeps everything really nice and dry.  For the most part they can be quite easy to find because of the size so you have to make getting to it a bit of a challenge.  Although they can be hidden well in the right spot, like the one hidden in the stump, if it were not for the clue it would have been hard to find.


K&Ccaches find.

There was a rabbit at the end of this path but it ducked behind the snow bank just as I took the picture.  These are the paths that the towns have from the street to the parks.  One park may have a few paths to it, great planning on the citys part.

Have fun caching
