Good morning everyone.
There was seven of us in total. There are more Patreon subscribers, but not everyone was available at the time londonwesty wanted to do this. Joining londonwesty is lyriclass and HoustonTxDave in the top row, Wet_Coaster, CanThai, and myself in the middle row. Cheifscout on the bottom. The whole thing was recorded for a future release. Right now it's scheduled for January 29th. Mark your calendars.
This week is going to be a challenge. It's normally about the geocaches I have found over the past week since my last blog. Here's the problem. I haven't found any. I just didn't go out geocaching this week. Didn't feel like it. That's not to say there wasn't anything geocaching related happening. I'll get to that in a moment.
What have I been doing this week if I wasn't geocaching? During the week, I have returned to going for a daily walk after work in Kildonan Park. There have been a couple of nice days and the park isn't too busy. This allows me to sort out my thoughts.
If I time it right, I can catch the sun setting over the river near Rainbow Stage.
There are two trees in the park that people can hang an ornament or two or more on. This one is located near Rainbow Stage. I'm not sure how many times I walked past it before finally spotting it.
I did say there was some sort of geocaching involved during my week. The first was a Patreon members hangout with Cache Canada. Just one of the many perks you could get when you subscribe a few dollars a month to your favorite geocaching creator. This was the first that I know of that Cache Canada has done.
Saturday was a nice day to go geocaching, but I didn't. Feeding the chickadees and being in nature has more appeal right now.
I picked a different trail this time. According to the sign, the trail is over 3km long and should take two hours to complete. Whoever timed that must have been walking at a snails pace. Including stopping to feed the chickadees and taking pictures, I was back at my car in an hour.
This particular trail takes you to a boardwalk over a cedar bog. It was a cool experience.
On my way home, I hid two geocaches. These will be puzzles.
The first one, I've had a puzzle kicking around in my head for awhile. That's not a good thing. The longer it stays in my head, the more twisted the puzzle can become. This one will be different. It could be an easy solve, or not, depending on your puzzle solving skills.
The next one I have no idea how I'm going to present the puzzle. It took me awhile to find the perfect spot. A couple of years ago, I was publishing a puzzle per month, with the name of the month in the title. The virtual locations formed a letter X. There are eleven of these puzzles. The only one that I didn't do was December. Why December got left out is a long story, but today, I fixed that and finally finished the monthly puzzle. Two have been archived since and I'll have to create new puzzles to take their place during the appropriate months.
I capped off the week by attending a birthday event. Local cacher AngelFreak was hosting her own birthday party and had invited geocachers and muggles to come celebrate. This was only the second indoor geocaching event in almost two years. Some geocachers are still leary of attending indoor events with the pandemic still happening and the latest variant picking up speed.
That's all for this week. I'm not sure how much geocaching I'll do in the upcoming week. I should do something if I want to claim this month's Reach the Peak. Until next time, be happy, stay safe, hug your pets, look after yourself, and most importantly, just have fun. Peace out. ✌
There's always just one more picture, or in this case two pictures. Both are from my walk. The top is at the Cedar Bog. I was joined by a squirrel in the bottom picture. He was vocal, but that's as close as he would come to me for seeds.
