<p>Although there were no metal posts or wooden laths to mark this cap, it was fairly easy to spot the white, football-sized rock that covered it. Under the rock was about two dozen small slugs that I had to wipe away to read the cap. Shortly afterwards, while driving back to Hinton, I saw a black bear sow and her three cubs run across the highway. Thanks for the cap.</p>

<p>I was surprised to see that there were no caches between Cadomin and Hinton, so I had to settle for finding this one cap on the drive up. It was my first cap with the new GPS so having the hint was a big bonus, but I missed recording the elevation. Someone has been digging near the cap and it duped me for a while until I read a log about a rock (thus the dirty fingers). Thanks for another brass cap!</p>

<p>((It seemed like I had this pristinely paved highway all to myself this morning as I traveled south from Hinton. When I parked near ground zero and started looking, it looked like it might be a long search. There were no markers, and no obvious spots to look at all. But before too long, I happened to spy a piece of orange surveyors tape near a rock and PING!!, memories of reading logs about a cap under a rock flooded in. Sure enough, turning over the rock revealed the cap. </p>
<p>Thanks for the cap!</p>

<p>4:45pm I enjoyed the trip on the forestry road but I admit it was nice to be back on pavement. Parked on the road and made the 30m walk to the cap. Thanks to whoever had the fore sight to put a flat rock over the cap as protection, it did the trick nicely.</p>

The drive from Coalspur to Luscar was an adventure on a rather challenging road. The rain had brewed a batch of mud that would stick to anything. A moose ran across the road in front of us. And the 'no gas for 1 million miles' signs had us doing math calculations on fuel consumption to determine if we would be driving out or walking. Once we hit the pavement at Luscar we felt like we were back in civilization. The ground post and flagging has become the victim of an overly enthusiastic mower with bits scattered with in 5 m of the cap. No mower is going to tangle with the rock though!</p>
