Geocache Description:


This CARW2012 cache will be published about 6:00 pm on Thursday, March 1, 2012. Please remember that caches CANNOT be hunted until 9:00 am on SATURDAY March 3, 2012. Should you hunt and find this cache prior, it will not count for the event, and FTF points are only valid starting 9:00 am on March 3, 2012.


This is one of the 12 "monkey series" caches I have hidden for CARW2012 and 7 of them are near the south portion of the River Loop Trail that goes around Fort Edmonton. The closest parking for this cache is at Fort Edmonton and I have added a waypoint for the parking lot. There are also a number of other caches hidden along the north portion of the trail so if you haven't found those yet then you can park at Fort Edmonton and walk the entire loop (in either direction) and find all of the caches and end up back at your car where you started. If you walk at a normal pace you should be able to find them all in under 2 hours. (Note: Monkeying Around is slightly out of the way and you will have to climb a steep hill to find that one and then come back down the hill before continuing along the trail.) I always prefer a trail where I don't have to double-back the same way that I went so I decided to add some caches to the south portion of the loop to make it more interesting for new cachers to the area to walk the entire loop. This cache is smaller than the others so it might be a little harder to find but it is very winter-friendly. You are looking for a camoed vitamin bottle containing a log book, pencil and a few small items to trade and the spot it is hidden in is just big enough to hide a monkey wrench.
