Geocache Description:

This Geocache is a tribute to an avid Calgary Geocacher, green ducks. The puzzle should not be difficult and there is parking near the actual cache location.

Green ducks has demonstrated that she is a determined, energenic and passionate geocacher. In fact, she has a find rate (caches found/total days) of 6.752 to the end of 2010. Of the top 100 geocachers in Alberta, this puts her at #2, only behind rat root (#1 at 7.012). CanadianRockies is #3 at 6.505 and KinderKen is #4 at 6.106. Sleepy_hollow, who has the most finds of any Alberta Geocacher, is #5 at 5.179. Gordoner and Taken it Easy are 6th and 7th.

Congratulations to One Bad Ant for the FTF.
