I think i mentioned that i was invited to do the cache Just Amoung Cachers with Hirtle & Ieatcrayons. My part of the cache was in the Rossignol District. i decided to do it while staying at Keji last week. I drove to the gate on the road and then biked in the rest of the way. I know it's not possible but it seemed like it was uphill on the way in and on the way out. LOL.
Nice area to explore but i quickly found out that Hirtle had given me wrong co-rds. Luckily there was cell service so i could text Blackrattle who had previously found the cache. So off i went with corrected co-rds only to discover the log the cache was hidden in had been torn apart, probably by a bear. I took pics and emailed them to Blackrattle and he confirmed i had the right location and he also gave me the W co-rds that i was seeking at the time. We sent all the info including pics to the CO and we were given permission to log the find.
Quite an experience, but fun.

Bridgewater Caching
Rick and I had a good day in Bridgewater yesterday.
When we left New Minas at 8:00 AM it was raining a pretty good clip, but I had checked the weather radar and it looked promising. By the time we got to Bridgewater and sat down for breakfast the sun was shining, although it stayed pretty windy all day long.
We had a possible list of 32, one of which I had done. By the end of the day I had 11 finds and Rick had 12. Not a big day, but it's not about the numbers! We had fun, saw some great caches and memorable views.
Two memorable caches:
GC31Z5K - King's Labrinth - An excellent hide, really well done. Added to my favourites.
GC1YA6F - You-Knee-Ke #5 - Really tricky. Had to use a lifeline (thanks, Brian). Even when I knew where and what it was I had to circle several times before spotting it. It may be easier at a time of day when the sun angle is different, and we showed GZ as up at the edge of the upper parking lot, but enjoyed the hunt!
A really good day! But we missed Brian and Chris!
