This cache is located in the little town of Bentley, a town that I often pass through or stop for snacks in. It's neighborly atmosphere and friendly people give it that small town charm, making it a pleasant place to stop by.
The cache is just on the west outskirts of town and shouldn't be too troublesome to find. Happy hunting!
Some info on Bentley:
Bentley (originally called Oxford) is a town located 28 km (17 mi) north-west of Red Deer, in the province of Alberta, Canada.
It was named in honour of George Bentley, an early homesteader.
The first settlers came from the U.S. and either walked or drove oxen from Lacombe, which was the closest railroad station between 1888-1890. The first church was built in 1890 by the Methodists, and a schoolhouse was built in 1903. Bentley was incorporated as a village in 1906. 1916 saw a disastrous fire that destroyed all buildings on the south side of the community. The centre roadway was made 36 metres (118 ft) wide and new buildings could not be constructed inside that area. In 1930, a centre boulevard was constructed for fire protection and street lights installed.
Bentley was incorporated as a town in 2003, and today is a thriving community with one main street, two gas stations, one hotel, and three busy liquor stores.
