Montreal Caching 2.1

More subway riding this afternoon, with another long walk after I got off the train. I now have all the clues I should have used to solve the virtual / puzzle / multi cache but didn't need!

What a beautiful park the clues were in! And what beautiful ladies were in said park....

Jan headed out to Montreal Place and Eaton Centre for shopping while I was at the park.

Beautiful day here. A little cloudy this morning, but sunny and warm this afternoon.

Montreal Caching 2.0

Well, an interesting morning. I have been working on a multi / puzzle / virtual cache from home. Today we went out to try and find the final location. It is a particular statue in downtown Montreal, which we found with no problem at all.

The interesting part of the morning was that it was too far for Jan to walk and the taxi fare would have been excessive. So for $8.00 each I bought two "Occasional" Metro (subway) 24 hour cards. Instead of paying $3.00 per trip we can now ride the subway unlimited for the next 24 hours. Not a bad deal at all.

So we spent the morning riding the rails under the city to the points of the virtual puzzle cache.

Speaking of which, please have a look at GC619C - that's the cache I'm after. Should I be looking for a log book to sign or once I have the password to the certificate referred to at the bottom of the page am I done and eligible to log the find? I e-mailed the CO but he hasn't answered me. I would really appreciate your opinion.

Montreal Caching

Well, it's been a while since any of us posted here, so here is a quick post before I call it a night.

I went for a 3.8 km walk tonight and found a puzzle cache at University of Quebec at Montreal that I had solved before I left home! It seemed like a long walk all alone with nobody to talk with - that makes the walk go faster!

But the cache was an excellent hide and the coordinates were absolutely bang on.

Tomorrow we have a little more caching planned, which includes a trip to a local park and the Montreal Planetarium, likely some shopping and the concert tomorrow evening!
