Geocaching

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.

It was some of nature’s magic tricks I noticed along the way that impressed me the most during a hike along the trails of the Chickakoo Lake Recreation area today.

I returned to these trails with the goal of finding a cache I’d been unable to find in Dec. 2023. Compared to that visit, this summer outing today provided a far different experience - and I loved it.

To get to a remote cache today, I walked down familiar trails but then covered ground that I’d only once been near before 10 years ago - and that was in the winter months.

I undertook a grand loop hike in the Ministik today, what I call the Five Meadows Hike. It was a gloriously beautiful day to do it too.

Three of us did a two part hike today, first north of Township Rd 510 and then south to Deadfall Alley

After parking at the Chickakoo Equestrian Lot, we proceeded to scour the eastern side of Chickakoo for caches
