An early spring hike in the Ministik Bird Sanctuary southeast of Edmonton. Will I find some spring to help thaw my winter-frozen brain?

I did a loop hike over what has become very familiar ground today. But even on familar paths, the experience of them is always changing.

Seven Persons is a hamlet in Cypress County, Alberta about 20 km southwest of Medicine Hat. There are various stories about how the hamlet got it’s name.

Hillcrest Cemetery is memorable partly because of the location and partly because of the mine disaster of 1914 that took so many lives.

For almost a decade a single red folding chair has been stationed at a lookout over Williams Lake in the Ministik Bird Santuary. The landscape is in constant flux around it, but the red chair remains.

I walked along the crusty snow first on familiar trails, then off trail on new ground to get to the south end of Oliver Lake today.

I had to do some maintenance on a cache near Mandy Lake in the Ministik Bird Sanctuary and had great outing walking along the still snowy trails to get to it.

This was a memorable day of geocaching for a few remote caches int he Ministik Bird Sanctuary.

I made the snowy walk to scout out a geocache hide, realized I wasn’t going to be able to get to it, so continued on to visit the Ministik fireplace and Red Chair Lookout.

I had a glorious trudge through (not over) the trails to Dorward Lake today to find two caches.
