It’s been a long time since I’ve walked the trails near Joseph Lake. It was fun rediscoving the place all over again.

I after a long absence, I “rediscovered” a grand loop hike in the southeast section of the Ministik Bird Sanctuary. It’s a route I call the “Mitchell Loop”, named after a cabin tucked in the woods along the way.

The hike today was a thoroughly pleasant outing to find a couple new caches and perform maintenance on a few of my own.

I lived through what turned out to be a very challenging hike through overgrown trails today.

Using geocache maintenance as an excuse, I hiked a 10 km loop along the always excellent trails in the southwest section of the Cooking Lake-Blackfoot Prov. Recreation Area today.

I meandered down some rural Alberta roads on the way to Millet, AB today.
