Blackfoot

A planned 15.5 km hike took me from Islet Lake Staging Area to Central Staging Area and out to what felt like “way out there” places.

I accessed the Blackfoot trails from the Waskehegan Connector Trail, did some geocache maintenance, continued to Push Shelter and returned on Ed’s Way, a trail I’d hiked before.

I did a 15 km figure eight loop hike to Meadow Shelter in the Cooking Lake Blackfoot Recreational Area today.

I hiked from the Islet Lake Staging Area to Push Lake Shelter, then to Lost Lake Shelter and continued on in a wide loop back to the staging area.

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.

The main purpose of today’s hike was to swap ammo can geocaching containers for lock ’n lock containers. These caches were hidden quite a distance from parking in the Blackfoot / Cooking Lake Recreational Area.

Still very new to kayaking, I had great paddle around Islet Lake today.

This was the first time I was out on my new Delta 12.10 kayak. Woah, Nelly! Here we go!

A hike to inner depths of the Cooking Lake - Blackfoot Provincial Recreation Area. Starting from the Islet Lake Staging Area, I was on the hunt for ‘cigar’ caches.

A memorable day of geocaching in the Cooking Lake Blackfoot Recreational Area. I was new to geocaching and this area was completely new to me at this time. The experiences of the day really made an impression on
