Hiking

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

Four of us hiked south from the UofA Access Road gate all the way down Deadfall Alley today.

It’s March and the ice between islands on Ministik Lake can still be walked on. Or can it? Yikes! There’s standing water on a lot of it!

I hiked down the Mandy Lake road, past the old cabin and shelter to hide a geocache today.

I’d waited to make the trek for a while. But the weather promised to be great today and and as it turned out it certainly was.

This was fun and challenging outing. I was anticipating a LOT more bush whacking than I ended up experiencing.

One of my cache containers was the victim of a bored coyote so I hiked in to replace it with a new one today.

I walked the familiar route from the UofA Access Road gate to the unfamiliar boggy shoreline of a large pond in the Ministik.

Two geocaching buddies and I traversed some seldom-walked trails along the North Sask River

It was my first time hiking around the trails at in Glory Hills Natural Area. There were a few caches here, but in the end it was the trails that I remember.
