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.

Car-caching with a buddy in north Lamont County

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

In the past I’d walked on stub trails northeast of Mandy Lake and today I wanted to see if they really were actual trails - spoiler alert - there were.

There are some out of the way trails in the Ministik that start but eventually just peter out into nothing. This is one of them.
