Well, I've probably driven right by it hundreds of times, but today I grabbed an earthcache on the side of Highway 101.
It all started out with the need for a warmer winter coat for Winnipeg next week, so we took a flying trip to the Mecca of bargain shoppers in Nova Scotia, the Sears Bargain Basement. I scored a $149.00 coat, extremely warm, for $80.00.
But before we left home I ran a PQ for caches along a route, the 101 from Kentville to Halifax. Lo and behold, there is an earthcache jumping off the screen at me. GC11WHZ -Cobequid Chedabucto Fault. (Mind you, I have since done a little research and I'm not so sure it is a good example of the fault line, but I'm probably wrong.) So we stopped on the way home and I fulfilled the requirements - I hope. I haven't heard back from the CO yet to approve my answers.
That is my first find for 2011. It's January 4, friggin' near time I grabbed a cache! I only need 764 more this year to meet my goal of at lest one more find than than last year!
Cache on, cache safely!
