Geocaching - grass field style

Garrett and I went geocaching awhile ago (before the snow!). We went to Nose Hill Park in Calgary and tried to find four different caches using Garrett's GPS. Nose Hill Park is quite nice because you get an excellent view of the entire city. This shot is looking east over the city:See the brown smear along the horizon? Pollution!!! This shot is towards the southeast. You can see the X-trail parked there.Although Nose Hill Park has a great view, it really is a big grass hill. Like this:The first cache we found was out in the middle of a field, so Garrett found it without much trouble. This is what it looked like:1.If you looked underneath it, you found this little metal jar hiding there:We wrote our names on the paper inside and moved on to find the next one. We had to walk quite a ways to find the next one, wandering through the grass fields and following the GPS.We found the next one with relative ease.The third cache was the most difficult, since we started traveling cross-country, rather than following pre-made trails like previously. We wandered down into a ravine filled with trees, passing by some deer on the way.Here's Garrett, just before we entered the ravine and searched for our third cache, which we didn't find.We searched in amongst the trees while balancing on the snowy slope for about 5 minutes, then gave up.2.The last cache was in the middle of an open field. We had a hard time finding this one, as well, but after some persistent searching, Garrett discovered it!After our successful (well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad!), we walked allllll the way back to the car and headed home, catching this view of downtown while we were at it.
