Geocache Description:


One warm evening in May, three cachers were out doing what cachers do. In order to maximize their caching throughput, they agreed that all their destinations would be short walks; in no case would the integer minutes of their parking coordinates differ from the integer minutes of the cache's location.

With that restriction in effect, they made quick work of many caches that evening. For example, after parking at N51° 3.525 W114° 9.434 the trio made their way to GCAZCMG: Bird on a Wire where Joyful Dawgs used her tablet to make the find and complete a challenge.

After appreciating the craftsmanship of the cache container, they continued on their way. Later on, they parked at N51° 1.740 W114° 5.593 and took the short jaunt to GC27JVH: Mount Royal Park - James Wolfe - Calgary Parks 100 where Pickled Jotter, using an app on their phone, was the lucky cacher who uttered that most welcome phrase, "Found it!", earning a treasure and completing a collection themselves.

As the evening wore on and darkness descended, Hairy Jesters still hadn't managed to spot a cache first or earn a souvenir or treasure. So he convinced the other two cachers to park at N51° 4.476 W114° 5.537 where he ran ahead of them to find this cache first with his GPSr and complete the evening.

The three cachers all found what they were looking for. Can you?
