We were in the city on Wed, had Vic's parents in to visit their son and for an eye appointment which came about at the last minute. We dropped Vic's parents at the hospital and went to my appointment. We got to my appointment a little early so i opened up the geo app on my phone and discovered we were parked less than 50 feet from a cache. Well we just had to have a look, i didn't have my GPSr so i used my iphone to find the cache. It took me right to the exact tree the cache was in and along with reading the hint made for an easy find in the high muggle area. Neat to have the ability to search for caches even without the GPSr.
Thurs. was such a beautiful morning with the sun shining and a freah coat of snow on the trees and trails. I had 6 caches to finish on the trail that Blackrattle is developeing so i figured a nice easy hike to grab some caches was just the thing, wrong. The first 4 were easy but then the last 2 were on a section that hasn't been cut out for a long time. I had to bushwack for the last 2 and it was mostly through swapy ground as the trail was too overgrown to stay on and all the snow on the trees made it that much harder. I was glad the trail was close to the paved road and i hiked most of the way back to my truck along the pavement, much easier going.
Those 7 caches moved me up 1 more notch closer to the the top 100 in NS, I now sit at #107 overall in NS with 1176 caches.
