(First time setting foot in Saskatchewan since 2015) (so much ground to cover still and little time left before the sun has sunk below the horizon) I finished October with 108 finds.  Sixty nine of those were traditional, thirty ALs, six mystery, a multi, letterbox, and a CITO each.  I also filled in each day on my day found calenda
