Geocaching

---

We did a little geocaching late this afternoon.

Geocaching is an outdoor activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container (usually a tupperware or ammo box) containing a logbook.

Canmore and it's surrounding areas has more than its fair share of caches to keep us occupied. Actually we done quite a few of them here on previous visits. We did six caches today, they were all east of Canmore and towards the town of Exshaw about 14km away. One cache that was quite a challenge took us up into Grotto canyon, a place we'd not been to before. In the winter the river that runs through the canyon freezes over so you can "ice walk" on it, we'll try that next time we're here in the winter.
