I approached from the west along a nice trail. I ended up a bit low but with the guard post silouhetted against the sky it wasn't too much of a challenge. Nice evening view of the snowy mountains in the distance. 2016-06-11T20:00:00 Found it 4 the Fun of It BCP002 - Pincher Creek Found while out for a bike ride in Pincher. A new fence at the top of the hill has cut-off the existing trail in spots. Still room to bike/walk above the North side of the creek. 2016-05-14T20:00:00 Found it nosweat6060 BCP002 Pincher Creek Not an easy spot to find an appropriate parking area. But the view from the cap is gorgeous. 2015-07-05T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP002 Pincher Creek Posted: N49° 29.320' W113° 57.346' My GPSr: N49° 29.32[b]1[/b]' W113° 57.34[b]7[/b]' This one required some tenacity. First I wasn't sure where to park at all, first attempting from the east and ending up in a residential area. Then I tried from the west with far more success. I parked at N49° 29.352 W113° 57.553 and walked in first on the faint track that runs through the field of tall grass and then up the slope south and east to the cap. Once on site, it was a quick find. It's was pretty cool to find 002! Thanks for the cap! 2013-06-18T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP002 Pincher Creek We enjoyed the nice walk along the top of the plateau to the cap site. We saw a deer along the way that seemed pretty tame - maybe had a fawn hidden nearby. Thanks for the hunt. Thanks for the cap. Bearberry and The Cub. 2013-03-23T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP002 - Pincher Creek Last cap of 5 for today. I could see the marker post from across the creek, but had to find a parking spot on the correct side. TFTH 2012-06-15T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP002 Pincher Creek I think we set off every dog in the neighbourhood as we walked along the path to the top of the hill. A super amazing view from the top!! 2012-06-15T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP002 Pincher Creek We have had caps 001 and 004 on our 'completed' list for some time and this trip gave us the opportunity to fill in the 002 and 003 caps in the same day. We had attempted this one about a year back but retreated from the hill as a lightning storm moved in. High on a hill, metal grounding rod, it just seemed a bit too risky back then. Today was perfect! TFTCap 2011-07-17T20:00:00 Found it Joci Found BCP002 Pincher Creek at 3.17.PM. N49*29.320 W113*57.345 Elev:1158m I picked this cap up on my way home to Lethbridge after a good camping in the Crowsnest Pass. It was a bit of walking to the cap from the parking but not bad at all. I could see the GP. far away so it made it an easy find. cap is in a very goog shape. It is also a very nice view from here to the mountains and event to the prairies. Thanx for an other BCP ofth. Joci! 2010-08-14T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP002: Pincher Creek I had tried this cap once before on a day when I didn't have much time, and I had been stopped by all the private property to the east. The Nuvi routed us in the same direction this time, but vdd figured there should be a good approach from the north which would be shorter than the approach from the west he used when he first did this cap. Sure enough, we parked in the subdivision and had a quick walk with the dog across the field to the cap which only needed a light brushing with my glove before it was ready for its photo. 2010-07-01T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP002 Pincher Creek Canada Day seemed like the perfect time to take a little drive down to the southern part of the province & check out a few places I've either never been before or haven't seen in a long, long while. This cap provided me with a great opportunity to stretch out the legs a bit, enjoy the sunshine & incredible lush green scenery that was so prevalent on this trip to the southlands. The cap comes with a good view overlooking the town & river with the mountains off in the distance. TFTCap OFTH 2010-06-30T20:00:00 Found it Klondike Mike BCP002 Pincher Creek I 1st came at this one from the south but decided to go around to the sub divsion to the north for a nice easy walk while the wife stayed in the car. The cap was well marked with new flagging and wooden stake making it easy to spot froma distance. Last one of the day as it ts getting dark and I have a long ways to go. tfth 2010-06-20T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP002 Pincher Creek Quick hike up to this cap. Great view.

But Ms. CR refused to drive on foot paths. An easy find with no cleaning required (other than brushing off a few leaves and some dead grass). Interesting spot for a cap. Thanks. 2010-03-14T20:00:00 Found it TeamDJM BCP002 Pincher Creek My GPSr read N49 29.321 W113 57.347 A Short climb/walk to the BCP Cap is in fair shape, easy to read info.

Nice walk in the early evening, but the skeeters pounced as soon as we stopped at the cap. Nice spot nonetheless. Thanks for another fun cap! 2009-08-04T20:00:00 Found it nt210 BCP002 Pincher Creek N49 29.320 W113 57.347 1158 metres I had to drive around for a while to find the nearest approach to this one, then had to walk a few hundred metres. The rain had stopped by that time. 2009-06-27T20:00:00 Found it dronnord BCP 002 Pincher Creek N 49 29.319 W 113 57.347 1156m Awesome Views FROM Here. TFTBCP Pics 2 Follow! 2009-05-23T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP002 - Pincher Creek Elev. 1163 metres As has been mentioned before, no problems finding the cap, just finding parking and access! At one point I actually considered parking on the south side of the creek and picking my way across. It's a good thing I never actually tried it, as the "creek" was a roaring, muddy, deep and wide torrent this evening. OBA must be rubbing off on me, because I don't think I would have parked where I did six months ago. I had a trail right in front of me that led right up to the cap. The cap is easily found using the marker post and in pristine shape. And it has some wonderful views of Pincher Creek, the mountains and the wind turbines. Thanks for the cap with many views! And I approached the cap from the west, from Foxborough Drive (I think) off Beaver Drive. Parking's iffy, but the trail to the cap is great. 2008-10-10T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP002 Pincher Creek - N49° 29.321’ W113° 57.347’ (my GPSr). Found on a Thanksgiving trip to Waterton NP. Thanks for selecting this survey control point for your Brass Cap page ofth. 2008-07-02T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP002 - Pincher Creek. A crow was sitting on the marker post as we approached the cache. We enjoy the BCPs with a view, thanks OFTH! 2007-07-14T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri BCP002 - Pincher Creek Another hot find today. Again, I think I may have confused this one with the other one, but we did many caps today. In fact, I think I've even screwed up my count of them... Will email the owner... Thanks again, OFTH! -Neko & Hiiri <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2007-06-30T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP002 ~ Pincher Creek Wow what a view. 2006-08-09T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP002 - Pincher Creek North We found this tricky little cap late this afternoon on our way home. The cap itself was an easy find, it was finding parking and a good trail to the site that was the challenge. TFTH and we'll send off the numbers shortly. 2006-06-22T20:00:00 Found it wavector BCP002, Pincher Creek This was simply an awesome cap, a really pretty spot after a short walk across some meadows.

Thanks for the journey. 2005-11-11T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP002 ( Pincher Creek ) N49° 29.320 W113° 57.346 One of nine caps today while on a caching trip to Cranbroook with XRN95 and Smrt_geer. I MADE this one a drive-to ... hey, there WERE tire tracks around and we DID have a 4X4. 2005-05-21T20:00:00 Found it Smrt_geer BCP002 Pincher Creek I Found this one during a dash to and from the car. It's funny, I have reservations about going on to private property to find a cache, but I have no problems parking illegally to find one. Anyway, thanks!! 2005-02-24T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP002-Pincher Creek Last cap of the day!! Nice evening out!! Can't believe how nice the weather was today!!!! Will email all the numbers tommorow...I am almost asleep now, lol. Many thanks!! 2004-10-01T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze Brass Cap Pincher Creek Discovered that I had the coordinates for the cache on my laptop so decided to backtrack a bit to nab the cap and nab some supper before heading to the last cache of the day (Old Man) and then north to Calgary. Of course the shortest parking distance to the site got me on to the wrong side of the creek and at the bottom of the hill - stomach is too full for the climb. The walk along the top was much more to my liking and the view of town and the mountains to the west were gratifying. Elevation 1159m Thanks for the cache. 2004-09-17T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP002 - Pincher Creek This one provided me with a bit of exercise - and the opportunity to see the view of the mountains and the creek and the town - pretty! TFTC OFTH 2004-06-19T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP002 - Pincher Creek It makes sense that it would be called Pincher Creek, but it looks more like a river to me. This may be one of those caps you want to find before suburbia encroaches any further. A really nice view of the river, I mean creek, from the cap. 2004-06-19T20:00:00 Found it j2d2 BCP002 - Pincher Creek We weren't sure where the best place to park would be, but I think we did find the closest parking with the flattest access. It looks like this area will probably be all houses soon, gee, urban sprawl in Pincher Creek. 2004-06-19T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc Pincher Creek BCP002 Last Cap of the day for the Table Mountain adventurers. We just had to find this one before supper. Took a short drive around to find access. Why aren't the new houses in the area shaped for the wind? 2002-09-15T20:00:00 Found it Frog & Polywog Found the Pincher Creek Brass Cap Cache this morning.

One of the advantages of looking for brass caps is the accuracy of the coordinates. 2017-04-08T20:00:00 Didn't find it Ringrat BCP003 - Coleman I arrived at this location and quickly noted a lot of long dead grass and no guard post. The most recent logs indicated luck by kicking the cap, so I started clearing grass with my foot. By an hour later when I gave up, I had a significant portion of the top of the dyke cleared of the long dead grass, had kicked many lunps of dirt and rocks, but hadn't located the cap. I've never been such an avid brass capper to have started carrying a metal detector, but I could sure have used one today! 2015-08-08T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP003 - Coleman #2 of 13 today. This one took a bit of time. No post, tall grass and when I grabbed my metal detector, the batteries were dead! After looking for a while, I kicked a pile of dirt and there it was!

Thanks for the cap. 2015-05-16T20:00:00 Found it geo-dunc BCP003 Coleman A quick find while we were in the Coleman area. The cap was found under some fresh grass but slightly above the grade, and the data was easily readable. Thanks for another cap!

The water in the creek was flowing high but well within it's banks. TFTCap 2012-04-22T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP003 Coleman: I looked for this cap once before but there was way too much snow. Today I had to contend with grass and I had no success until I dug out my metal detector.

Once done it was a short drive to the cap. It must have been too early still as i stumbled around for awhile before I spotted it. Grabbed a pic and numbers and headed back. I made it back across the tracks just at the warning signals started up scaring the bageebers out of my wife.lol 2010-06-30T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP003 Coleman Coleman is pretty much your last chance to stop in Alberta if you're heading west along Highway 3... In 1903 a new townsite was laid out a few kilometres west of Blairmore, Alberta, to service a new coal mine operated by the International Coal and Coke Company. Initial names of Paulson’s Camp or McGillivray Hill were rejected by the post office, settling on Coleman (after Coleman Flumerfelt, the daughter of the mine owner A. C. Flumerfelt). A feature of the town was the mine’s one hundred (later 216) coke ovens located at the edge of town, which operated from 1906 to 1952. The town grew rapidly, surpassing its neighbour Blairmore as the largest in the region. Coleman boasted a successful opera house from 1908 until it burned down in 1948. Coleman persevered through strikes (1911 and 1932), floods (1923 and 1942) and fires (1948). As the coal mines in the region gradually closed, Coleman's commercial importance waned in favour of Blairmore. Coleman amalgamated with four other municipalities to form the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass in 1979. Coleman's coal mining heritage is evident in its several historic buildings, a regional museum, the ruins of its coal plant and coke ovens, several nearby abandoned mines and the "biggest piggy bank in the world" made from a 36-inch (910 mm) gauge air driven thermos bottle mine locomotive (sounds like a good spot for a magnetic geocache?). We found our way to this cap via a meandering route that had our boys wondering weather we were lost in the little town of Coleman. The stream level wasn't too high, so the cap was on nice dry ground. After returning to the cachemobile, Mrs. GeoK realized she left her camera bag at GZ, so she ended up visiting this cap location twice! E-mail with required photo has already been sent. Thanks for the short detour off the highway and the nicely situated cap.

It was of course a bit windy, just enough to keep us cool on this beautiful sunny day. We followed the historic route through Coleman before crossing the tracks and turning onto the correct road for the final 500 meters. The cap was a quick find as van der Decken had left it well marked, thanks vdD. We really enjoyed our short exploration of Coleman, it seems we usually bypass all these very interesting places in our hurry to get to our ultimate destination. So, thank you very much ofth for encouraging us to slow down and look around a bit. Numbers covered by the Leitch Colliery Interpretive Site.

I'm guessing a few streets just aren't there anymore? Anyhow, the cap was a nice easy find; nearby parking, flagging in an adjacent tree, and the cap was right in the middle of the path.The cap has some slight impact marks, but it's nothing serious and all the digits are clear. Thanks for the cap! 2008-08-25T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP003 - Coleman. Elevation 1325 metres.

While planning this trip we noticed that BCP004, one of the first, was here and we couldn't resist coming down for a quick visit despite the heat. Convenient parking was found, a quick hop over a cable fence, widening a path through a line of thistles and we found ourselves at the clearly visible marker post with the cap at our feet needing only a few blades of grass moved for pictures. Another cap in good condition, the few minor marks not obscuring any of the numbers. Earlier today we got the notification that BCP735 had been published.

I was at first worried about the very long grass, but the GP was still visible as we got close and the cap was standing high, fully visible, welded onto an old vehicle axle. Thanks for posting this cap ofth; it is in a fine spot. The cap numbers in the photo are hidden by Mrs BVPete and Brutus walking back to the car from BCP271. Now it is back to Redcliff for BCP262. 2010-08-09T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP005 Medicine Hat Nice cool breeze to make this a pleasant walk and find.

A real easy elevated cap to spot. One more cap to go and then back to Calgary. Thanks for the cap! 2009-10-10T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP005: Medicine Hat nicolo had done this cap a long time ago so he had the pleasure of staying in the Jeep and keeping warm while I jumped out to grab my photos. Thankfully the cap is well-marked and well above ground so it was a quick and easy find. The wind was cold and biting here. 2009-08-08T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP005 - Medicine Hat Elev. 711 metres My GPSr's auto routing to this cap was seriously out to lunch. Whatever your GPSr says, you want to be on Box Springs Road, heading north. Other routes will result in a quirky, but eventually fruitless, tour of the back roads around Redcliff. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The sun was going down quickly as the day wound down with equal speed, so I'm glad that this one was practically a drive-up cap. The nearby slough was a perfect mirror; perfect that is until a duck objected to something or other and swam across it, creating an ever expanding v-shaped distortion in the water. After dodging a myraid of bovine land mines on the short walk over, the cap was the easiest find you can imagine. Being perched well above ground in a steel flange, I'm sure this one would be an equally easy find in the winter as it was tonight. As you might expect, the cap is in excellent condition. Thanks for the cap, outforthehunt. 2009-04-25T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP005 ~ Medicine Hat Heading home, and figured we would stop for the caps we misse don the way out too SK.

And that too me is the whole point of this capping thing: getting lured out to new places to explore them. Even as I’m logging a few days later I can still remember the moment: crisp, clear morning air and wispy clouds dotting a bright blue sky. It just seemed like a great place to me. I was able to make quick find of the cap, situated right by the marker post.

The marker can be seen from the highway and we parked right next to it. The likely spot was a small depression that was covered in ice. We chipped down a bit with our trekking poles and then ran out of time. We'll have to come back another time.

Thanks!! 2004-11-13T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP007 - Black Diamond N 50° 41.385 W 114° 12.591 I was here amost a couple of weeks ago and had the big DNF. I think that my problem with this one is that when I was coming from Okotoks, my map said the cap was to the left of the main road. Then when I turned left off onto the farm road, I still expected it to be on the left. Not looking at my GPSr, I even saw a survey sign beside the farmer's fence, to the left of the dirt road. So without even taking my GPSr, I jumped out and went to the survey sign. Did the compass sweep for a few minutes, nada! Today, well, I decided to look at my GPSr and it showed the cap to the right of the dirt road, doh! Of course, the "OTHER", correct, survey sign was there, with the cap lightly covered with loose dirt. I took a pic and leaned a wooden survey stick against the survey sign, just in case someone goes there soon.

An easy find with a nice view, in very good condition other than a couple of gashes near the edge. Thanks! 2017-05-14T20:00:00 Found it hunthikers BCP009 Calgary (Fish Creek) A Mother's Day family geobike in Fish Creek park fit the bill for today as an excuse to grab a few more caps and a caches in an area we don't get to too often. We park at 24th St SW and criss crossed the park up and down the hills that border the valley to grab the caps. Stopped for this as we got back towards the car, the rest of the family waited at the bottom of the hill and I climbed for the the view and the find. TFTC 2017-05-05T20:00:00 Found it One Bad Ant BCP009 - Calgary (Fish Creek) - Pippin and I were off on our own to find this one today and our capping buddy was otherwise occupied. I was off to a fine start when half way down the hill I turned on the GPS to discover dead batteries! Back to the car for the emergency battery supply! The second trip down the hill was quicker, Pippin had already checked out all the sniffs. A short huff back up the net hill and the cap was found. Thanks for the excuse to get out and walk with the dog OFTH. 2017-05-04T20:00:00 Found it NurseB33 BCP009 Calgary (Fish Creek) I made the trek uphill on this lovely Thursday afternoon. Cap is in relatively good condition and information was clear to read. Thanks so much for another Brass Cap!! 2016-06-13T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP009 - Calgary (Fish Creek) Posted: N50° 56.123' W114° 05.827' My GPSr: N50° 56.123' W114° 05.828' I parked on the street at the nearby trailhead and walked in. Soon it became clear that I was going UP THERE! Actually, in no time I was at the top of the hill and after I caught my breath, I saw the distinctive rock I’d seen in previous context photos. The cap find was a quick one. As I made my way back to the I was struck by the hum of insects in the trees along the path. They’re busy in there! Thanks for the cap! 2016-06-09T20:00:00 Found it nosweat6060 BCP009 Calgary (Fish Creek) I was aware of this cap while setting up a plan for Fish Creek and it turned out to be on the way to my first cache so I stopped and located it first. These Brass Caps have added a new dimension to my geocaching. Thank you for the original idea, and thanks again for all of the effort that this entails. 2015-12-22T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP009 Calgary (Fish Creek) N50° 56.123 W114° 05.827 I parked as close as I could and hiked over to the cap site. I enjoyed the nice views, brushed away a little snow and found the cap right away (a nearby divot was a nice give away). Thanks for the cap! 2015-12-05T20:00:00 Found it behmSquad BCP009 Calgary (Fish Creek) I've been meaning to stop and grab this very early cap (009!) for some time. After picking up Stash in the area, I decided to make a run for this cap too. The next finder can also grab Stash nearby. Thanks for the cap. 2015-06-18T20:00:00 Found it The Geers BCP009 - Calgary Fish Creek A 7 hour bike trip today where I made the goal to get 10 brass caps and this doesn't even help satisfy a challenge! I spent well over 45min searching for the nearby multi (first stage...), so I was glad this cap was a breeze. Great vantage! TFTC OFTH! Curran 2015-06-10T20:00:00 Found it Kottbullar BCP009 Fish Creek Park A bit of workout up the hill to find this one.A gentleman with a dog suspiciously eyed me as I was investigating the ground.

That was a bigish Hill, I can sure notice my reduced fitness level due to the recovery from a sprained knee. Nothing like some brass caps to help fix that! Thanks again! 2015-03-05T20:00:00 Found it Iron Phoenix BCP009 - Calgary (Fish Creek) N50° 56.123 W114° 05.827 Out with Ge0Patr0l to find a cache nearby that I hadn't been successful at locating once before, and for some reason this brass cap showed up as unfound in my list! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_shock.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I know I HAVE found it - I remember taking pictures, but I guess maybe I didn't log it. Ge0Patr0l will be sending pictures, so hopefully that's adequate. My shadow might be in one of the pics... he had me dance around to stay out of the pictures as he took multiple angles. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> TFTCap!! 2015-03-05T20:00:00 Found it Ge0Patr0l BCP009 - Calgary (Fish Creek) N50° 56.123 W114° 05.827 Mr Ge0Patr0l had looked for this one in the late summer but wasn't able to find it because he was too focused on another location and baby Ge0Patr0l had enough of looking. Today however he once again focused in the wrong location, but put Stash down for a minute right on top of it to take a picture. When picking Stash up, hey, what's that?! Recorded the numbers then set out for stage 1 of the multi. Cap information sent. Find # 2881 - 3/5/2015 10:34:33 AM 2015-01-12T20:00:00 Found it Switty 13 BCP009 Calgary (Fish Creek) N 50° 56.124' W 114° 05.827' Elevation 1085m Took a walk with the pup to find this one today while in the area looking for a nearby Multi. The Pup had a great time romping in the snow. Took a bit to find but with the excellent hint I was able to brush away the snow from the area.

Nice views of the park. Easily spotted the cap about 6 feet from the near edge of the big rock and 6 feet from the near edge of the path. It was flush with the ground, but I just needed to give it a quick wipe with a rag. Thanks for another cap. 2013-04-28T20:00:00 Found it Accura BCP009 - Calgary (Fish Creek) N50 56.123 W114 05.827 My better half and I really enjoyed the walk from the parking area to the cap, although I would have been better off on the easier approach instead of straight up the hill since I was wearing dress boots instead of hiking boots. Since I was a bit slower getting there than my better half, he spotted the cap before I did. I got there and found the nice tell-tale hole and started to clear away the dirt. All the while he was snickering away at me for some reason I couldn't comprehend until I looked beside the little hole I was trying to clear...... The cap was actually flat to the ground about a foot away - in very plain sight! Really, I have to stop thinking like a cacher sometimes. TFTBC, outforthehunt. 2012-06-28T20:00:00 Found it ShaunEM BCP009 - Calgary (Fish Creek) N50° 56.122 W114° 05.829 1078M Found this one today in Fish creek after a course was finished. Nice to have the sun out! Even with the wind the skeeters are out. They are going to be bad down here on a calm day. 2011-07-06T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP009 Calgary (Fish Creek) It was a very enjoyable walk to this cap and I really liked the view. The cap is in great condition. My Garmin said the elevation was 1090 m which is only 2m higher than the listed elevation. Perhaps global cooling has resulted in a lower sea level. Email to follow. 2011-06-29T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP009 Calgary (Fish Creek) 50 56.125 114 05.826 Lots of beautiful wild flowers and a great view of the river from this location. 2011-06-29T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP009 Fish Creek Park - The temperature had been continually rising since we started out this morning and it seemed to have peaked when we were on the steepest part of the trail to the cap. We were rewarded with a quick find and a great view of the creek.

TFTBC!!!! 2009-05-20T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP009 Calgary (FIsh Creek) We set out from the parking area & with so much construction equipment in the area it was looking doubtful whether or not this cap was still going to available. After following the detoured path aways & climbing up the small hill, the cap was found in short order & in great shape freshly washed with the days rain. TFTCap 2009-02-13T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP009 Calgary (Fish Creek) N50° 56.125’ W114° 05.827’ This cap was # 3 of 4 finds today. I parked in a nearby neighbourhood and made my way down to the valley bottom and then back up to the top of the ridge on which the cap is located. Then I got sucked into chipping the ice out of a deep hole close to ground zero. I was getting a mild indication from my compass so I thought it was down there somewhere. Then I put the compass down a few inches away from the hole (so I could chip faster) and got an unexpected, but strong reaction. There was the cap, 1 cm above ground level, just covered with a thin layer of new snow. Live and learn. Thanks for this cap ofth and for the hill climbing training – I need more of that. 2008-11-28T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP009 - Calgary (Fish Creek) N50° 56.123 W114° 05.827 Nice empty hole within a foot of the cap. Quick find. Nice vew of the creek from the hillside. It's mostly frozen over now. 2008-08-03T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP009: Calgary (Fish Creek) First cap of the day. Having moved more south of the city means more of these caps are closer and within striking distance now. Nice easy find in the short grass and a nice spot. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/DanOCan/Geocaching/0803081115.jpg 2008-07-07T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP009 ~ Fish Creek.

I'd planned on continuing over to Raven Rocks, but with the rain coming down the visibility dropped to such a short distance that I'd never have gotten a picture. So this was the last find on this fine soft day, and I made my way back across the valley to return to the car. Thanks for the cap! 2008-05-29T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP009 - Calgary Fish Creek Park 2008-05-14T20:00:00 Found it fliprider BCP009 Calgary (Fish Creek) I found this one on top of the hill.

Did it on a bike ride today but had to take the long way around due to missing bridges. 2005-10-19T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP009 Calgary - Fish Creek We are running out of Calgary Brass Caps, I see road trips in our future. Nice quiet day in the park. Could see evidence where a bridge use to reside.

Sat and watched four skinny looking white-tails chow down on some of the blooming crocuses nearby. I'm sure they're glad for winter's retreat. Great location, the cap is in good shape too. Thanks! 2005-04-19T20:00:00 Found it New Direction BCP009 (Fish Creek) Nice view from this spot. I wasn't too willing to walk up the hill at first but glad I did (it really wasn't that bad any way).

Decided to take the easy way, via the path (versus trashing uphill through brush). Then we saw the little trail going where the GPS was pointing. Up, up, up the hill we went. We get close to it. We start bemoaning the fact that we didn't bring a compass or shovel - you know, the usual toys for such a search. But, aha, it looks like someone has dug a hole - I betcha the cap is down the hole. So my trusty companion sticks his hand down the hole (he's much braver than I), and then we realize the the cap is about a foot away from the hole, plainly visible, with easy-to-read letters. TFTC OFTH. 2003-11-16T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP009 Calgary (Fish Creek) Another great view from a cap. Used my compass to find it under the snow.

GPS reading bounced around slightly, always within 1m accuracy... I'm pleased with that! Nice day for a stroll in the park, but it gets chilly on the hill when the wind is blowing. Great view of the park from here.

Out For The Hunt has been on my case ever since. Not quite 6 months later, this elusive brass cap showed up again. I made the 40m. climb (again) . What, no brass band? No flashing strobe lights? Only meters of bright fluorescent tape to mark THE SPOT. I just about missed it. If the geocacher in the hint photo had fallen over to his right, he would have injured himself on the stake and brass cap. I swear the cap must have had some clandestine, stealth, invisible paint on it back in November and just now wore off after the winter. Sure is nice and green where the soil was aerated. My GPSr added one digit to the end of each of the latitude and longitude and the altimeter read 1089 meters. Thanks for the re-cache OFTH. 2002-11-18T20:00:00 Found it park2 To do a proper job, you need the proper tools (heh-heh-heh). Found the one in Fish Creek at OFTHs request but I brought along my survey pin finder. That made it quite easy as you can imagine. See our log about 10 down from this one for a shot of it in action. By the way, this cap is about 1160m at 273 degrees from my house. If anyone wants to try again, drop me an e-mail and you drop by and borrow my pin finder, heck, we might even come for the walk. (but you don't need it for this one, if there is no snow, its at ground level). For a cold Guinness I might even give you a hint. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for the Cap!

This all unfolded according to plan. I still had a little time on my hands so decided to look for another pair in SE Calgary. I ended the day with a search for a geocache near the last cap. Thanks to ofth and vdD for setting up and maintaining these activities. I made a note of all the numbers and will add a few photos when I am near my photo software. This was brass cap #1 for today. 2017-05-13T20:00:00 Found it hunthikers BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) Out this afternoon for a few caps and caches near the Glenmore reservoir while Mrs Hunthikers and Mr Foothills Scrambler went for their inaugural sail of the season.

A quick find with muggles streaming by us ; ) TFTC. 2017-04-30T20:00:00 Found it Switty 13 BCP010 – Calgary (14 St SW) N 50° 57.235' W 114° 05.687' Elevation 1096m I toured the City today to pick up some of my unfound Caps. Thanks for bringing me to this location OFTH! 3 of 14 2017-04-26T20:00:00 Found it Iron Phoenix BCP010 - Calgary (14 St SW) I managed to convince One Bad Ant that with the impending doom.... er, I mean, the upcoming change in logging rules, that we should do a blitz of Brass Caps. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> We wiggled our way to close parking and did the quick walk to the cap. I can't say that I have been on that bridge before, but it made me rather uncomfortable... especially with phone in hand... dropping your phone/camera/GPSr here (or anything, really) would be a very bad thing! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_shock.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The cap is in surprisingly good condition considering it is likely a high traffic area... I guess the fact that it is mostly foot or cycle traffic makes a difference. TFTCap!! 2017-04-26T20:00:00 Found it One Bad Ant BCP010 14 Street SW Thanks for the cap. They are everywhere once you start looking :) 2017-04-26T20:00:00 Found it sapien BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) N 50° 57.234 W 114° 05.686 On my way back from the CITO event this morning, I decided to stop and grab this BC. I approached from the east side and was glad to see this cap is in great shape and easily found. I thought I would get out of there fast enough not to get noticed but even in my short time there, I encountered a muggle and her four legged friend and even saw a near-miss car accident below. Yikes! This place is busy! TFanotherBC. 2017-04-16T20:00:00 Found it behmSquad BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) With the pending GC changes, I set out to grab some caps with a new sense of urgency. This will be one of several found today. After grabbing the 9 caps yesterday, I found another 5 today. This would be the last and easiest. Thanks for the cap. 2017-04-13T20:00:00 Found it uboff BCP 010 Calgary (14 St S.W.) TFTBCap 2016-10-01T20:00:00 Found it k5¢ents BCP010 Calgary (14St SW) Short walk over the bridge while caching nearby during the CCAR event. Thanks. 2016-06-13T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP010 - Calgary (14 St SW) Posted: N50° 57.233' W114° 05.685' My GPSr: N50° 57.234' W114° 05.684' I parked on the street nearby and made my way past the doggie-walking area and up on to the pedestrian bridge where the cap was waiting patiently to be found. Some caps are beside flowing rivers of water; this one was over a flowing stream of vehicles that hummed constantly below. Thanks for the cap! 2015-11-10T20:00:00 Found it The Cachaholics BCP010 - Calgary 14 Street SW N 50 57.236 W 114 05.689 Haven't found a brass cap for a while and this one is close to home so I thought I'd claim it. TFTC. 2015-06-18T20:00:00 Found it The Geers BCP010 - Calgary 14 st SW A 7 hour bike trip today where I made the goal to get 10 brass caps and this doesn't even help satisfy a challenge! Wow! Definitely the coolest brass cap I've come across so far. I didnt believe it when I saw it on the map, but I just needed one more to hit ten for the day. The sun was setting! I read the hint just to be sure before I headed over. Sure enough... I don't know how great of a survey marker this would make, but it certainly is cool. From the date on the cap, which I haven't seen on other caps, I'm sure this one was installed 'especially'! TFTC OFTH! Curran 2015-04-15T20:00:00 Found it rustywa 11:39 PM [b]BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW)[/b] I've driven by this one several times but tonight we made a quick stop and took some artsy pictures of the cap. Thanks for the cap! 2015-04-02T20:00:00 Found it kristaandgeoff BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) It's been a while since we've found a BCP - great to get one in the winter. 2015-04-02T20:00:00 Found it GeoMonkey_AB BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) It is always nice when you come across an easy brass cap find. This was was quick and the cap is in great shape. Thanks for another Brass Cap OFTH! 2015-03-25T20:00:00 Found it BirddogBrien BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) Out with JanlarC. She emailed the information for both of us. Thanks for this virtual cache. 2015-03-25T20:00:00 Found it JanlarC BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) #3358. Found this brass cap with BirddogBrien after a short walk. I emailed the information for both of us. Thanks for creating this virtual cache! 2015-02-26T20:00:00 Found it geo-dunc BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) This cap was fairly easy to spot, even with a light layer of fresh snow. Mounted in a pedestrian bridge, with plenty of four-legged muggles passing by as the head to the adjacent dog park. Thanks for another cap! N50 57.236 W114 05.689 2014-11-15T20:00:00 Found it NurseB33 BCP010 - Calgary (14th St. SW) After hearing about these Brass Cap Caches for the first time a few weeks ago, I've been very intrigued. Today I decided to take the plunge... Thanks to some suggestions from KinderKen, I thought the 14th street Cap would be a great place to start. I had no problem finding it today. Thanks for this awesome idea and I have sent the required info to the CO!! You've earned another favourite point from me <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2014-11-07T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) Tried this one a week ago but couldn't find it under the ice.

Finally getting around to logging it and a few others. I came by on the weekend and grabbed the necessary info from BCP010 which has been emailed to the CO. Thanks for the Virtual!

T4TBCP TeamDJM (4567) Lethbridge Alberta 2013-06-26T20:00:00 Found it Ge0Patr0l BCP010 - Calgary (14th ST SW) Mr Ge0Patr0l had some time to kill before pickup up Mrs Ge0Patr0l from work so spent a bit of time out caching. There was a cache in the park to find as well so figured another Brass Cap would be good to find too. Mr Ge0Patr0l almost walked right over it before spotting it and taking a photo. TFTC. 2013-05-25T20:00:00 Found it TrailGuider BCP010 Calgary (14 St. SW) I took the dog to the dog park and we found this cap. TFTC 2012-11-26T20:00:00 Found it Accura BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) N50° 57.233 W114° 05.685 Who would have thought that a brass cap would be here. Baylee and I had a great time in the dog park and then walked up and over to find the cap. For the amount of traffic passing over it, it's condition is pristine. Thanks for another one 2012-07-24T20:00:00 Found it TheTowerOfSong BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) N50° 57.233 W114° 05.685 I was hunting caches in the area and saw the BC pop up on my GPS and knew I had to find this one. It's position gave me pause as I was getting close to GZ but then was surprised by a nice, clear cap! Thanks again. OFTH! 2012-06-19T20:00:00 Found it gardengorilla BCP010 14th Street west. Today we were out for a nice little walk in the dog park before the rain hits...and got a two for one! One cache and one BCP! 2012-03-17T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP010 - Calgary (14 St SW) The hardest thing about this one was dodging the doggy bombs! WHY CAN'T PEOPLE CLEAN UP AFTER THEIR DOGS! Fortunately, I did not detonate any! TFTH 2011-11-06T20:00:00 Found it MKFmly BCP010 - Calgary (14th St SW) Posted Coordinates: N50 57.233 W 114° 05.685 My GPSr Coordinates: N50 57.234 W 114° 05.683 Had a hard time finding a reasonable parking spot.

Watched a motorcycle go under the bridge - the rider was wearing a helmet that sported a Mohawk. 2011-05-05T20:00:00 Found it green ducks BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) 2010-10-19T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP010 Calgary (14 St SW) Cap is very visible and in good shape.

Doing this one at night without a flashlight is a little tricky. It seems like there is plenty of light from the street lights, but the cap manages to sit in a shadow. [This entry was edited by Andronicus on Saturday, December 19, 2009 at 6:45:42 AM.] 2009-04-28T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP010 - Calgary 14St SW High and dry - lots of wind today!!! 2009-04-06T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP010 Calgary (14 St. SW) This one was always a case of so near, yet so far away with its highly visible yet not so easy to access location. Today was the day to bag this pesky fellow & alas, no longer will this cap taunt me while driving past. TFTCap 2009-02-13T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP010 Calgary (14th St SW) N50° 57.235’ W114° 05.687’ This cap was # 4 of 4 finds today. The hardest part of this cap search was finding my way into the neighbourhood. After that it was a quick find although I am sure travellers on 14th wondered what I was up to. Now, back to the Tim’s I noticed on the way in here for a large coffee and then home. Thanks for this cap ofth, located on a good view point for 14th street. 2008-11-28T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP010 - Calgary (14 St SW) N50° 57.233 W114° 05.685 Interesting spot. I worried that the drivers passing under the bridge would think I was preparing to jump. Lots of pedestrians which resulted in me taking a few shots of 14th St to the north and south. Easy find. 2008-08-01T20:00:00 Found it j_peg BCP010 - cap #10, find #310. Thanks for the brass! Email with numbers to follow. 2008-06-08T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP010 - Calgary (14 St SW) Alt. 1101 metres A nice easy brass cap to start a short caching run today. Although there were several dogs walking their muggles in the vicinity, I was in no danger of being run over as I set up for the photo. Thank for the nice and easy cap. 2008-01-03T20:00:00 Found it leawelter Calgary 14st BCP010 A quick find today. Went with pooderbear and this was his first cap so that was kinda cool. 2007-12-28T20:00:00 Found it crimsontide BCP 010 - Calgary - 14 St. S.W. Very easy to find this cap - a nice change from some we've found. 2007-10-20T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP010: Calgary (14th Street SW) Mrs. DanOCan spotted this one after I had stepped over it.

Picture is on its way. Thanks. EDIT - Murphy's Law was at work on the spelling first time around, too! 2007-03-19T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri BCP010 - 14th St. SW Found this one today. I must say, the attached photo is proof that the overpass was more than a little slippery.... It was taken as I almost keeled over backwards. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> -Neko & Hiiri <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2007-02-17T20:00:00 Found it Everhollow N50° 57.233 W114° 05.685 BCP010- Calgary (14 St SW) Hey OFTH, I could hug you. After spending hours outside today digging through the wet snow and finding no caches except one Wal-Mart cache, this brass cap was shining like a star. 2007-01-05T20:00:00 Found it geonana BCP 010- Calgary. Argh! Heights make my knees shake! TFTH anyway. 2006-12-12T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP010 Calgary - 14th Steet S.W.

It was so cold , it was cold enough to freeze the brass cap off the monkey(and off the bridge)! It was so cold that brittle metal fatigue was setting in on Mr. C's head gear. It was so cold ... well you get the picture. It was that kind of day when you had to feel a sense of pride and boldly stand on the bridge with frozen GPS held aloft and declare to the traffic passing below "I am not insane, I am a Geocacher!" 2006-06-08T20:00:00 Found it wavector BCP010, Calgary 14 St SW Caught this cap just as darkness was starting to descend.

It is about time I stopped and looked. 2005-08-21T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP010 Calgary, 14th St. SW This cap almost had us fooled. Never thought it would be located in this spot. Lots of fun. 2005-07-08T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP010 - Calgary Braeside N50 57.233 W114 05.685 A real view from this cap! 2005-04-27T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP010 - a very interesting cap! 2005-04-02T20:00:00 Found it cyber-hunter BCP010 Calgary - 14th Steet S.W. 50 57.233 114 5.688 1084 Meters Well after talking with everyone at the Calgary GeoCoin Distro.

Thanks!! 2005-02-10T20:00:00 Found it New Direction BCP010 Just Re-posting this one. Found it in Febuary. Only 500m from my house. Knew exactly where it was so I didn't need my GPS. Thanks for the cache 2005-01-23T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP 010 Calgary 14 St SW Another easy find. Can you get any closer to the middle on this one? TFTH 2004-11-12T20:00:00 Found it Team Makwa BCP010 Calgary 14 Street NW Picked this one upin the dark after finding Bat-Cache. TFTH! 2004-11-02T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP010 Calgary 14StN N51º 03.859 W114º 05.669 Elevation: 1077m Was out playing around with my antique Eagle AccuNav Sport GPS. Took me about 20 minutes to try to remember how enter coordinates manually into the instrument. Used the MeriPlat to get to the parking lot and then used ‘luggable’ Eagle to go the rest of the way. Because there is no “arrow”, I had to use the plot screen with the GPS oriented to the north to see what direction I had to go to zero in on the cap. Got the audible signal from the GPS about 3 meters from the cap and ……. there it was, along with 4 other individuals from SAIT who were practicing to be surveyors. You should have heard their “snorts” when I showed up with my not so ‘state of the art’ GPS. Thanks for the cache. 2004-10-28T20:00:00 Write note 3jaze BCP010 Calgary 14th Street SW N50° 57.234 W114° 06.686 - elevation 1099m. Closest cap so far to my domicile. I’ve been putting this one off for quite a while now. The first time, over a year ago I think, it had a good ice and snow cover hiding it. No wonder I couldn’t find it. What a novel location. Thanks for the hunt and the cache. 2004-10-28T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP010 N 50° 57.233 W 114° 05.685 Calgary (14 St SW) Found this one the dark, took a pic with the help of my flash light. A couple walking their dog asked if I had lost anything. I laughed and explained what I was doing. They just gave me the not-really-interested "Oh, I see". 2004-10-25T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 Great day to be out caching!! I wish it were a bit warmer but I am not gonna complain. This was an easy find today. Nice way to start my week off!!! Thanks! 2004-10-22T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP010 - Calgary (14 St SW). We found this one at around 9:00 this evening. Interesting location, I wasn't expecting a survey marker there! 2004-07-11T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP010 - Calgary (14 St. SW) Have driven under this one many a time, but finally took the time to find it. Getting access to the overpass was the hardest part. 2004-06-26T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP010 - 14 St SW, Calgary, on pedestrian overpass. The challenge with this one was finding a way to drive to where we could actually walk onto the overpass! Once there, it was an easy find. TFTC. 2004-06-26T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP010, Calgary -14th street SW, definitely easier where there is no compact snow and ice on the path. 2004-05-01T20:00:00 Found it ibycus Went after this one the other day, but the cheap AAs I bought gave out at 60m to the site. Figured I'd give it a try anyways, and must have walked right over it without seeing it (wasn't expecting it there). Anyways, went back today (with more bad AAs) and found it. 2002-12-28T20:00:00 Found it Geomac Well, I'm wayyyy behind on my brass caps, but luckily, have kept all the postings!!! So, here's one from south Calgary, that at first was a bit of a mystery, and possibly dangerous, too (at least, until I checked the elevation!!!). It's the one at N50 57.233, W114 05.685. Thanks for the hunt! 2002-11-02T20:00:00 Found it j2d2 BCP010 14 St S.W. My first non-bingo-related brass cap. Thought I'd have to worry about the traffic, but it wasn't a problem.

Message sent with numbers and photo. TFTC 2017-05-08T20:00:00 Found it NurseB33 BCP011 Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) I wanted to check off some more Brass Caps from my list so I headed out early before needing to be back home. This was my third stop and initially I wasn't sure how to access the cap and google satellite wasn't much help. I parked on a residential street just off Mission Road which proved to be a good choice and made my way to GZ. I gathered the required information and forged on. Thanks so much, OFTH, for another great Brass Cap!! 2017-05-04T20:00:00 Found it sapien BCP011 Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) N 51° 01.470 W 114° 03.994 If I was smarter, I would have checked and realized this cap was here when I was here less than a week ago looking for a different cache. At least I knew the best place to park this time. I focused my search at GZ on one particular area that stood out from the rest without any success. Once I opened up my search area to other possibilities, I finally noticed the cap secretly tucked away "in the weeds". TFTBC. 2017-05-03T20:00:00 Found it Cachin8r BCP011 Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) First of 12 today, #858. We parked at the bottom and found the (wrong) trail up the hill. I got a running start because it was so steep. After waiting for muggles to pass, I made the find in a couple minutes. This one blended in pretty well with the surroundings. Of course I found the real trail on the way back. Thanks for the cap! -Cachin<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_8ball.gif" border="0" align="middle" />r 2017-04-29T20:00:00 Found it One Bad Ant BCP011 Erlton-Roxboro That was tougher than some. The views from here are wonderful. Thanks to Outforthehunt for maintaining the Brass Cap cache for everyone to enjoy! 2017-04-29T20:00:00 Found it Iron Phoenix BCP011 - Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) I managed to convince One Bad Ant that with the impending doom.... er, I mean, the upcoming change in logging rules, that we should do a multi-day blitzing of Brass Caps! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I think I've been here before with no luck but it was so long ago, I thought the route there was a particular direction, but of course it was the other way. At least we got to see a feral domesticated bunny hopping around. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_shock.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Once we finally got to the right place, OBA spotted the cap before I did, and tried pointing to it with her shadow. I blame it still being morning for me not quite getting it. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blackeye.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blush.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> It was easy to find and in good shape!!

This was the sixth (of 7) caps in about 3 hours of looking. A great way to spend the afternoon. Thanks OFTH. A great service to us geocachers. 2017-04-22T20:00:00 Found it behmSquad BCP011 Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) #40 of 46 caps found on the day. I spent the early morning finding caps at all points from Calgary to Red Deer. I returned to Calgary in the afternoon to clear out much of north Calgary including a good hike across nose hill.

I was able to spot this one today. Thanks for bringing me to this location OFTH! 2016-07-13T20:00:00 Found it rustywa 9:42 PM BCP011 Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) We had been here before, but then there was a lot of snow on the ground. We had no luck then but tonight Geomonkey_AB and myself tried again. We went over the same indentations in the ground as we had covered so many months ago, and then by accident Geomonkey_AB actually stumbled over the cap. Thanks for the cap! 2016-07-07T20:00:00 Found it GeoMonkey_AB BCP011 Erlton-Roxboro 10:43pm N51 01.470 W114 03.994 Rustywa and I were out tonight collecting a few caches and this cap came up on our phones. As we pulled into parking we both realized we had looked for this one once before. That experience ended in us not finding the cap as there was a lot of snow on the ground. Tonight after a quick search we managed to locate this cache. Thanks for putting another great cap on the website! 2016-05-03T20:00:00 Found it stormcrow50 BCP011 Erlton Roxboro 51 01.469 114 03.992 2014-10-01T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP 011 Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) Picked this one up while out getting some groceries. It took me a while to find. It is tough with the plant cover. I got lucky and felt it with my foot. 2014-08-22T20:00:00 Didn't find it CanadianRockies BCP011 - Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) Found lots of juniper covering the ground. No obvious divots, and my compass sweep of a couple bare patches proved fruitless.

This one was a tough find. We walked over and searched the area but came up with nothing. We decided to go and grab the nearby traditional cache and then headed back to the car and grabbed the pin finder. After doing a sweep of the area I was able to get a signal and we dug a little and found the part of the marker post that was still in the ground. Knowing that the ASCM was close I did another sweep. We narrowed down the area again and Jimigiglo was able to find the cap. We sure enjoyed the great view from this brass cap and were pretty relieved when we found it. TFTBC <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2013-08-05T20:00:00 Found it Jimigigilo #36 of 52 BCP 011 in Calgary it took some time but we managed to get it TFTC 2012-09-30T20:00:00 Found it TheTowerOfSong BCP011 Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) N51° 01.470 W114° 03.994 My GPSr was a little off (about 3 m) from the posted coordinates, but I quickly found it (glad it wasn't full on fall or the leaves would have covered it!). The cap is in good condition. Thanks for the cap! 2012-09-27T20:00:00 Found it Andronicus BCP011 Calgary (Erlton Roxboro) N51 01.469 W114 03.992 (2m) Elevation 1093 (18m) Samsung Galaxy I started my walk to GZ from the North (1 St SW). Bad idea. It would have been better to use the ally on the East side of 1 St SW. Anyway, after a bit of bushwaking (and scaring several robins out of their trees), I came to a nice trail. I managed to follow that to GZ. The hint for this one didn't help at all. For starters, there is no GP. And the cap may technical be 4cm above ground level, but it is in a depression, so it is actually flush with the surrounding ground. In the dark, this took me quite awhile. I searched through previous finds to try to find a "In Prospective" photo, but didn't have any luck. I just kept looking, and finally I found in nestled down in the juniper. I think the search took me about 30 min. Lovely view of downtown from up here! 2012-09-21T20:00:00 Found it j_peg BCP011 - Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) Posted - N51° 01.469 W114° 03.992, elevation 1074.3 m; My GPSr - N51° 01.468 W114° 03.992, elevation 1067 m Found it in the dark.

TFTBC! 2012-04-19T20:00:00 Didn't find it loki226 BCP-011 Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) Area is in the middle of a juniper bed. I don't know how to find this one without a metal detector 2012-03-17T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP011 - Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) Well, where do I start with this one. I had stopped at a gas station to get some new batteries for my metal detector as they were getting really low on the last cap. When I arrived at the closest parking location, I got out and headed off to the GZ. Shortly after being at GZ, I realized that the new batteries work better in the metal detector and not back in the van! Never fear, I still have my trusty GPSr to help me. WHAT, "LOW BATTERIES". I guess its a sign for me to head back to the van for new batteries for the MD and the GPSr. I was only back at GZ a few minutes when I looked up and noticed two of Calgary's finest walking up to me! I am in the middle of nowhere and they somehow find me! They were curious as to what I was doing as there are problems with drug use and prostitution in the area - with a metal detector? I won't go there! After a few minute conversation wit the two officers and an education session on what geocaching is, they went back to there car and left. They had no clue as to what geocaching is and after I had explained it, they wondered why I would do that? Thanks for the experience! 2011-07-03T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP011 Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) I enjoyed the short walk to this one. It was exposed enough so that I did not need my metal detector. Thanks for the cap. 2011-06-29T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP011 Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) 51 01.471 114 03.991 And this was why we brought the metal detector along - a lovely spray of juniper blanketed the ground, and the cap. A few sweeps with the machine and the stump of the ground post was revealed and just a few more sweeps and there was the cap. 2011-06-29T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP011 Erlton-Roxboro - The low junipers proved quite challenging but the trusty metal detector helped out.

Once that was accomplished it was a quick find. Somebody has mutilated the juniper at ground zero while the cap itself is about 2 metres away and easily visible.

We looked around some and eventually spotted the somewhat obvious Cap. Thanks for the Cap, Bearberry. 2009-05-21T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP011 Calgary Erlton-Roxboro Quick and easy find in this great area over-looking the city. TFTBC!!!! 2009-05-01T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP011 Erlton - Roxboro I have to admit to busting on this cap a few months ago when there was plenty of snow about. The juniper is just a bit intimidating but all went pretty smoothly today.

Once parked at the bottom of the hill however, I was able to access the hiking trails and enjoyed my walk back to the top. It took me far longer than it should have to see the cap which was nicely exposed and just waiting for me. Thanks for selecting this cap ofth, located in such a lovely place. It was # 3 today. 2008-12-03T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP011 Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) Posted N51° 01.469 W114° 03.992 GPSr N51° 01.471 W114° 03.991 When I approached and saw the extensive juniper growth, I initially shuddered. Fortunately, the cap was fairly exposed and found after a few minutes without having to disturb the juniper. Good thing too as I left my gloves in the car (making a juniper search in the cold not too appealing). Thanks! 2008-10-09T20:00:00 Found it GeoMeerkats bcp011 N51° 01.469 W114° 03.992 elev 1074m email to follow 2008-06-22T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP011 - Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) Alt. 1075 metres I wasn't quite sure how to approach this one, as where it looked like I wanted to go appeared to be fenced in. It's not, and I'm happy to say that neither fence scaling nor bushwhacking was required. I was also a little apprehensive when I arrived at ground zero and saw that the ground was covered in junipers. Well, I figured if I'd managed at Emily Follensbee, how bad could this one be? As it turned out, not too bad at all. I managed to spot the cap from about 5 feet away. Thanks for another cap in a spot that I [i]never[/i] would have gotten to otherwise. 2008-03-07T20:00:00 Found it nt210 BCP011 - Calgary (Erlton-Roxboro) Looked for this last weekend, but gave up after a few minutes due to cold and wind.

I have never paid attention to brass cap hunting until I went to an event atop the Barrier Lake Lookout a few weeks ago and there was one there. I also logged my first one at the first Mega Event - Best of the Bad a few years ago. I will have to look into this a little more! 2014-10-31T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP013 Canmore Quick find. TFTC! 2014-09-01T20:00:00 Found it Iron Phoenix BCP013 - Canmore After parking a ways up from the trailhead, but having lots of room for our geomobiles, Mr. Ge0Patr0l mentioned there was a Brass Cap, just a few meters away! So we wandered down towards the bent-over metal post with orange flagging, and found the poor, battered cap, shortly after. Unfortunately I didn't have my cell phone with me, so I left the pictures to Mr. 'Patr0l and Gardengorilla. Hopefully the pictures they send are sufficient for me as well. This was find number 3996 and we were on the hunt for 4000 today. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for the cap!! 2014-09-01T20:00:00 Found it Ge0Patr0l BCP013 - Canmore After some coaxing and persuading, we convinced Iron Phoenix, gardengorilla and family to join us for the Grassi Lake hike. We arrived a bit late to parking and quickly booted up the GPS once baby Ge0Patr0l was loaded into his backpack ready to set out. Until we noticed a cap 23m away from the truck! Slight detour before starting up the trail to get the required information. Thanks for the cap and a good start to the day.

After snapping some pictures I headed back towards the car and saw three kids that were mountain biking. They were trying to clean some of the mud from their shoes and their tires. It sure looked like they were having a lot of fun. I had a quick chat as I was walking by them and they sure were enjoying it. A great time was had by all.

I was not sure if this cap was on the top of the hill or somewhere below but decided to go check it out anyway. The trail was just becoming muddy and slippery but it was not too bad...yet.

We had a great geo-breakfast in Cochrane with dozens of fellow cachers from the area and then headed out to complete the National Park challenge. We stopped along the way and picked up a number of caches. Lille Lord wanted to grab every cache that had Travel Bugs or coins in them so he could take them back to Norway when he returns next month... unfortunately, all the caches we found which were supposed to have travellers in them, didn't! Sigh. Ah well, there's still time for him to find other caches with TBs and coins in them. The weather was snowy and the trees were festooned with hoarfrost. It was a magical day otherwise and L-L set a personal record for caches found in one day. TFTC! Happy caching! 2015-08-31T20:00:00 Found it mikefromcanmore BCP-015 Banff-Bow River Bridge.

We even had a couple stop and peer at it closely. I'm sure they thought they were missing something exciting. This was our first cap find. I must say, we're hooked. Am sure it will be the first of many. 2013-03-30T20:00:00 Found it TheTowerOfSong BCP015 Banff - Bow River Bridge A nice visit to Banff today with the family.

We'd taken in the sights and grabbed some caches and figured the day wouldn't be complete without a cap too. I've seen a couple like this before, but still neat to see. Appears that the cap has had a very violent encounter with a snowplow, but otherwise looks good. Got some strange looks from passers-by as I took my readings.

A temporary pontoon bridge was the first Banff crossing of the Bow River and was situated immediately west of the current bridge. In 1887, a steel truss bridge built by William Brewster replaced the original pontoon bridge. The steel truss bridge was later replaced in 1923 and was relocated to provide the current crossing of the Spray River on the Banff Springs Golf Course. The 1923 three pier bridge (see photo) was designed by Dr. E. Brydon-Jack, a federal public works engineer. The bridge is adorned with small river stones and capped by local Rundle rock. Calgary artist James L. Thomson designed the six Indian Head reliefs formed in precast concrete that adorn both sides of the bridge structure. In the early 1980's the bridge's deck was rebuilt and widened to incorporate an additional traffic lane and wider pedestrian sidewalks. The cap is a Canada land survey marker complete with a crown. However, it's in pretty tough shape. Thanks to Outforthehunt for the cap.

No cleaning needed. Thanks for another cap. 2014-07-02T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP017 Cochrane Before stopping for this cap we drove down to the end of the road for the view discovered there when we found the "81 Peaks" cache years ago. Unfortunately, the thick haze that had obscured our view of the mountains on our trip down to the area today had not thinned and not a single peak could be seen. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_sad.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Oh well, we needed somewhere to turn around anyway. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Oddly one small piece of brass was much easier to see than 81 mountain peaks once we had waded through the tall grass and parted it to see what van der Decken's boot had found. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The cap has oxidized to shades of green but is otherwise in good condition and quite readable. Being raised above ground level, it is a quick find even in tall grass or some amount of snow. We appreciated van der Decken suggesting this stop during our afternoon together. Thanks for the cap with a great view, outforthehunt. We didn't see the view today, but we know it's there! 2014-06-13T20:00:00 Found it danboss BCP017 Cochrane N51° 11.873 W114° 26.388 I visited this cap on a very rainy day.

I thought we were going for a cache in town but Da had other ideas. He took me to a viewpoint that is incredible. I'm glad geocaching takes us such neat places. He said that there was a cache nearby but I didn't think he would walk up to it and pick it up for me without the GPSr. LOL!! I liked the brass cap. I got to slide down the hill in my snow pants. It was really fun even though I got the back of my jacket dirty. LOL!! Thanks for the brass cap! 2013-01-13T20:00:00 Found it GeoDreamCacher BCP017 - Cochrane; Squirrel Nutcacher and I went out to get some photos of the mountains under the Chinook arch which appeared to be forming. The sun was beating down upon the peaks but everything around us was under cloud. A neat effect. I stopped at the end of the road and picked up a geocache for SNC. I had found it ages ago but it made for a quick find for her as well. The brass cap was an easy find in the snow which was a relief. Photos on the way to the CO.

Geo I did a quick park, dashed to the cap, took a pic, and got the hell outta there! Fortunately, no one stopped and asked me what I was doing, whew! [This entry was edited by nicolo on Tuesday, November 30, 2004 at 5:33:27 AM.] 2004-11-12T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP017 - Cochrane So there we are at the cap, after finding it quite easily, and I was just snapping a pic when a vehicle driving by sees us and stops. She rolls down her window and asks in a quite concerned voice, "What company are you from?" I laughed and explained that we weren't from any company and briefly explained that we were hunting for the survey marker, and pointed it out, and then explained it was part of a game. She blinked a couple of times and drove off. I was just writing down the numbers of the cap when she drives by again, this time from the other direction. She again inquired why we were hanging out near private property and taking pictures. She explained that she and the neighbours around here were quite concerned because they had seen somebody else here taking pictures, then a few days later three of the homes in this area were burglarized. Now I'm sure I didn't look the part of a burglar, with a 10 year old boy and a yellow labrador retriever in tow, but she was worried nonetheless. I empathized with her concerns, and again tried to explain about survey markers and GPS's. She obviously didn't understand and just then another car drove by and stopped. The first woman held a whispered conversation with the woman in the other car, both stealing furtive glances our way. I had had enough, finished up, nodded politely, and off we drove. However, other cachers might want to take note. The local populace probably won't receive us too well at this marker. Anyway, thanks for the interesting cap! 2004-10-29T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP017- Cochrane This cap became a target of opportunity as I was driving back from Sibbald. Easy cap to nab.

Maybe coming here around lunch time was a bad idea. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blackeye.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thankfully it didn't take much to find it - I stopped to get my bearings and eyeball distances and when I turned around, I was almost standing on it! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Coordinates for me were basically bang-on. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> As others have mentioned, this one has be hit a few times with tools and is pretty marked up. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_sad.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Hopefully I'll remember to send the pics! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blush.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> TFTCap!! 2015-05-17T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP018 – Airdrie Posted: N51° 17.153' W113° 59.965' My GPSr: N51° 17.153 W113° 59.967 There was a long-weekend hustle and bustle in the area as I parked and made the short jaunt over to this one.

We were enjoying a fun day of caching with them! We had to dig this one out a little. We used our new garden trowel which is actually a child's but works great on these smaller holes. It was very busy here but nobody seemed to notice us or wonder what we were doing. Thanks for another fun BCP! 2014-09-20T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP018 Airdrie The plan had been to finish our day with this cap because we weren't sure how late it would be when we got here and we thought we might appreciate the parking lot lights. However, we had been very successful with our earlier finds and finished them well before we expected. We had several hours of sunlight left! The divot for this cap was quickly found but it took Manjalou's new little trowel to remove a layer of dirt. Being a gorgeous day for capping, it was also the perfect day for many other things and the parking lot was busy. It's times like this that it's wonderful to know that stealth is not needed for this cache! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The cap is disfigured by a number of deep tool marks, but all the numbers that we could see are still readable. Traces of orange paint pose no problems. With lovely weather and hours of sunlight left, there was only one thing to do next: sit down and plan out a bit more fun. So we did! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for the fun, the cap and the cache! 2013-09-28T20:00:00 Found it Ge0Patr0l BCP018 - Airdrie This one didn't take too long to find on a chilly morning before CCARF13.

An easy trail leads to 360 degree views up at Wilcox Pass. GeoJamie22 and I made use of the nicest day of our weekend to tackle Wilcox Peak. We made good time up to the pass then found a good trail up the peak. The trail eventually petered out and we were left with some tricky moderate scrambling up to the summit. The way down was surprisingly way easier (maybe we found a better way?) and we made it back to the trail and descended down. We made a right turn and [FOUND] this cap and the nearby virtual. A fantastic day out! 2018-08-11T20:00:00 Found it WillowZilla BCP019 - Athabasca Glacier (Found) This cap was on my high priority list from when I first heard about the original brass cap cache. It was a couple weeks after our first hike up to this location for the <a href="https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=53c20e46-f9d0-425a-9a10-922bd446bec3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">wilcox cap</a> cache, so I was all uppity about having missed something cool. Then of course GC.com smashed my favourite brasscap cache, so it became less of a priority. Seems our misadventure last time was something the family wanted to do again though, so we hoofed it up the trail again this year! Forest fire smoke obscures all vision, so no real clue if we have clouds or smoke. We get a slight drizzle for 5 min at the start, nice and refreshing, free air conditioning, then manage the rest of the hike to the cap without incident. (unless you count 15 minutes of fruitless searching an incident.) In the end I'm standing on a ridge surveying left/right, only to discover that my foot is 2" from the cap!!! woot woot shouts of joy. Everyone else was busily checking out the cool view nearby (barely visible through the smoke). About 15 minutes of the route back it started to rain, then to pour. We hadnt brought much for rain gear, so the entire hike down was a soaking mess. The other 3 are much faster at downhill than i am, so ditched me in their wake. Luckily the dog came back to keep me company on the trudge down :) Another 5 hour trek i think but i REALLY wanted to find this cap :) 2016-08-16T20:00:00 Found it G & E BCP019 Athabasca Glacier This has been on our list for sometime. We started fairly late, about 4:00pm, but the weather looked like it would stay solid for the rest of the day. All four of us hiked up Wilcox pass although by the time I made it to the cap I was the only one left, the rest having turned back. After the long uphill climb I was happy for a rest. This cap took me far further along the ridge than I had planned to go today, so far that I briefly considered attempting Wilcox Summit, but that thought didn't last long. After enjoying the view I headed back down from what is now our highest elevation find. We did run into some light rain then but that didn't give us any troubles. All four of us could write a different story about our afternoon at the Wilcox pass but each one of us very much enjoyed the hike. I would love to return eventually! 2016-06-19T20:00:00 Found it GJO_2010 BCP 019 ATHABASKA GLACIER Well, after finding Wilcox Cap, it was a no brainer that this virtual was the next one. I again followed the GPS contour lines to work my way over to the cache. Not sure if there is a path or not, but the hike over was not bad at all. While I did encounter more of the heavy mists and rain on the way to Wilcox Cap, when I arrived at GZ, the sun was out most of the time. To be honest, it took me a good 1/2 hour to get my eyes on the cap. It just eluded for a bit but eventually I found it. I think I was just a bit blind but was I happy to finally find it. After a couple pictures and drinking in the sights, I headed back. Quite the sights from up here. Worked my way over to the main trail and made the hike back. I won't forget as I was walking back the sun on face. Then I felt the temperature drop by about 10 degrees. I turned back to see a real dense fog rolling towards me. It almost felt eerie, like being chased. When it hit, the rain and snow started coming down. This lasted about 15 minutes then it was sunshine again - gotta love it.! Funny thing as I just about finished the hike back. I met two couples working their way up. I noticed one gentleman wearing expensive dress shoes with the nice smooth leather bottoms. I mentioned the shoes, we all laughed but I really emphasized proper footwear and being careful when heading higher up the path. While in no way is this a wild trail but proper footwear and clothing is a must. Thanks once again for another great virtual brass cap - a fave!! 2014-08-16T20:00:00 Found it Kiwibirdman BCP 019 Found with Boombear while out hiking to find the other virtual nearby.

Along the way, I encountered a horned lark, some ground squirrels, and many lovely views. The cap itself is on a rock outcropping and was a quick find that needed no cleaning. I suspect it wasn't quite as easy for surveyors to find without a GPSr, but maybe there was a big rock cairn here previously. Thanks for another great cap. 2013-07-12T20:00:00 Found it j_peg BCP019 - Athabasca Glacier Posted: N52° 13.826' W117° 13.732' elev 2457.9 m My GPSr: N52° 13.825' W117° 13.734' elev 2458 m Peg had a day off for an office move, so we made plans for a stay in Jasper and a hike on the way. We decided on Wilcox Pass and the south shoulder of the ridge to Wilcox Peak, as the hiking guide that we picked up late last year ranked it among its "premier" daytrips. Couldn't agree more. We didn't know that we would end up within 500 metres of this cap once we got to the south shoulder of the ridge. Once we figured that out, we decided to go get it, treading as carefully as we could. A nice bonus to such a spectacular hike. Thanks for the brass! 2013-07-06T20:00:00 Found it Ringrat BCP019 - Athabasca Glacier After a hike to Wilcox Cap this was the next logical stop. Then it was off back to the pass. The cap is in a lovely location, though I wasn't able to spend as much time as I'd have liked staring at the scenery, as I'd abandoned my sister at the trail and I was sure she was starting to worry. I was right, she had started back down and was searching the first drainage for my unconscious form when I got back to the pass monument. After reuniting, we carried on to descend into the Tangle Creek valley, a lovely through-hike. Thanks for the great hike! This entry was edited by Ringrat on Sunday, 21 July 2013 at 00:43:32 UTC.

The first was last October with Sleepy_hollow on our return trip from Landslide Lake. The weather was rainy/snowy with no visibilty so we gave it a pass. The second time was last November when I got hit by an unexpected blizzard ended up losing the geomobile in a deep drainage. This time I returned with Mrs. and Littlest TiE on a beautiful day that was, if anything, too hot! It was near 30C when we headed up the trail and we were roasting by the time we left the trees. Thankfully there was a nice breeze blowing across the meadow and the big ice cube across the valley added some much needed coolness to it. The area was just amazing. The alpine meadow must be a wildflower haven in the spring. The trail had alternating steep and flat sections that were a much needed break. There were tons of folks on the trail today but no one was headed in the direction of the cap. After visiting Reastick's Wilcox Cap, we followed the vertical bedding planes right to this cap. The views up there were outstanding. There is so much more area to explore, including Mount Wilcox, where we spotted some scramblers from below. We will definitely be making a return visit. Thanks so much for this cap location OFTH. The family really enjoyed it. 2011-08-07T20:00:00 Found it Joci Found BCP019 Athabasca Glacier at N52*13.824 W117*13.733 Elev:2459m. with Sleepy_Hollow after we decided not to go for Utopia mountain due to bad weather. So we did some caching in Jasper and on the way home we stoped by here to pick this cap up too. The cap is in perfect shape and a nice short hike from the parking. Thanx for an other cap in a nice place, OFTH. Joci! 2011-08-07T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP019 – Athabasca Glacier Joci and I got an early start this morning to do a little recon on a Jasper area cap and decided afterwards to check out this lofty location. We parked in the usual spot and enjoyed the short walk up the very pleasant trail to the top. About half way up we headed off trail and up to the cap site across two interesting drainages. It took a little over an hour for the trailhead to the cap site and this time included a stop at the Wilcox Cap Virtual along the way. The cap is in fine shape overlooking the ice fields to the west. Simply a superior location for a cap – thanks OFTH for setting it up and to Joci for the fine company on the trail! 2010-10-24T20:00:00 Write note Takin it Easy BCP019 Athabasca Glacier by Posted N52° 13.826 W117° 13.732 This was a cap that both SH and I really wanted to go after today. We knew we would get here late in the day, but if there was any daylight left, we were going to go for it. We arrived at the trailhead at around 5PM. There was enough daylight left that we would not need the headlamps until the return part of the hike. Visibility was pretty poor due to clouds and fog and there was a light drizzle/snow mix coming down. The highlight of this cap trip was going to be the view of the Athabasca Glacier from the cap location along with the actual finding of the cap. Given that we were not going to be able to see anything, we elected to not do the hike on this trip and promised to return in the not too distant future. We both joked that this was further evidence of not having a capping problem. We'll just keep telling ourselves that. I'm looking forward to the return trip. Thanks OFTH!

I sat and took a break, after finding the cap, and took in the surroundings. I had walked across snow on my trek and seen several Rams on a ridge not far from me. My loop was just short of 11km with many breaks along the way. The girls had come up and met me several hundred meters from the trail head. all in all it was a rewarding hike. tfth This entry was edited by Klondike Mike on Monday, 09 August 2010 at 14:32:45.

It's a type of cap I'd never seen before, with the label "Water Resources Branch - Canada" on it. Note that this is not the cap at the <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=be66cbd7-9bd7-4c90-b841-c97321bb0e11" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wilcox Cap</a> virtual cache; that's over 700 metres away to the south east. I'd wandered over from BCP019 to take a look at the drop off and found this cap not far from an inukshuk. Though you can't log this cap, if you're up looking at BCP019, you may want to wander over to this one's coordinates to get a look at the cap while you're peering over the edge! 2009-09-05T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP019 - Athabasca Glacier Elev. 2465 metres Outstanding. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I imagine the way I cache & cap makes some shake their heads. I start too late, I walk too slow, I stop too often. Well, I suppose I do. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> And yet at the end of the day, I still manage to get to beautiful places like Wilcox Pass. After a myriad of adventures on the road, I was near the trail head. A hking book I'd been using for years said that there was no parking at the trail head (N52 13.100 W117 11.099), and that was almost true. There's lots of parking spots at the trail head now, but actually finding an unoccupied one could be an issue at times; it's a very popular trail. But since I only arrived mid afternoon, the early risers had already been up to the pass and returned, so their parking spots were starting to open up. The trail trends roughly northwest for most of its distance. It begins in a larch forest, and the track is so well trodden that in places it's nothing more than roots and rocks; all the soil has been worn away. For about the first 800 metres, it's pretty much up, up,up; you'll gain about 120 metres in elevation, so it's not incredibly steep, but you'll know you're walking uphill allright! The trail levels out a bit for the next 900 metres, during which time you'll break out of the larches and start to see some of the views that surround you. You;ll then hit the steepest part of the trail, gaining about 50 metres of elevation in 200 metres of distance. That's about as bad as it gets and after that it's back to about the same slope you started out with. None of this climbing is all that bad; for me, it was just the elevation it started at (about 2040 metres at the trail head). So take the chance to catch your breath and enjoy the views. After conquering the last 600 metres of climbing you'll have gained about 300 metres of elevation in total and are rewarded with almost a kilometre of mostly level walking in an alpine meadow. I imagine the wildflowers are absolutely gorgeous in June and July, but in early September it reminded me of nothing so much as pictures I've seen of the dry valleys in Antarctica. It's magnificent, in a monochrome sort of way, but bleak too. A deep gorge with a stream burbling through it seems to keep you from going in the direction the GPSr keeps indicating you should be going in. But don't despair; the gorge ends soon enough and you end up being able to cross the stream on the level meadow by stepping from stone to stone. You could hang a hard left here and start heading up hill again, but if you stay with the trail you'll get where you need to go. When you see a small rocky high point on the right side of the trail topped with a small sign with a picture of a hiker on it, look to your left for a fainter trail. Follow this gently rising trail; though there's nothing that would have stopped you from going cross country once you cross the stream, the trail is the easiest way. After cresting a hill and going down the other side you'll cross an old stream bed (which may not be empty in wet parts of the year) and find yourself on the part of the pass you need to be on. It was here that I heard some soft clucking noises. I finally spotted the owners; a couple of birds about the size and shape of small chickens that blended in with the rocks amazingly well. Prairie chickens in the mountains? I don't know. The trail pretty much peters out at this point, but you're less than 600 metres away from the cap, and there's nothing in the terrain that'll present any problems. Even the bedding plane of the bedrock points more or less in the right direction. <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=06fc9873-ecfa-4141-8c39-131fa629484e" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Continued...</a> 2009-09-05T20:00:00 Write note van der Decken BCP019 - Athabasca Glacier (<a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=86229a89-328c-4205-9ce1-29a18bc014a0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">continued</a>) When you get to the vicinity of the cap, you'll find a small cairn of rocks, and the cap is right beside it. It's cemented into the bedrock and shouldn't be a problem to find unless you're brave enough to look for this one with snow on the ground. The cap itself is in excellent shape. But I have to admit that I was a little distracted by the view. You may have seen the Athabasca glacier as you've driven by. You may have even have stopped and walked up to the toe, or taken one of the tours out onto it. But nothing compares to the view you'll get of the glacier from here. I could see some small figures moving on the glacier that I took to be people at first glance until the sense of scale kicked in and I realized that they were the ice tour buses. From the cap I walked the 60 metres or so over to the drop off and was surprised to find yet another cap, of a type I hadn't seen before; a small unexpected bonus. After drinking in the view for awhile, it was time to head over to the nearby Wilcox Cap cache and begin the trek back down. But that's a story for another log... Thanks for the caps in a magnificent spot, outforthehunt. 2009-08-31T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP019 Athabasca Glacier N52° 13.826’ W117° 13.732’ Mrs BVPete and I decided that today would be the day to take my dear 86 year old Mother on a promised trip to the Columbia Ice Fields. It was to be a fine clear day, a good day to drive up the Ice Fields Parkway and enjoy the awesome views it has to offer. There was some haze in the atmosphere due to various forest fires, but that often lent a mystical nature to some of the views, especially later in the day. Now, I must admit that I had the GPSr’ in the trunk along with some bear spray and a spare water bottle in a fanny pack, but I had no real expectations of actually getting to the Athabasca Glacier Cap. In fact, I had no accurate idea of the hike involved, other than VP’s recent log and using Google Earth to lay out a possible 2.2 km route from the tent only camp ground nearest to the Interpretative center. Anyway, we had a great drive up the highway, stopping for our lunch in the picnic area just south of Sunwapta Pass before carrying on to the top of the pass and the magnificent views of the Athabasca Glacier. After soaking up these scenes for awhile we felt it was time to start the long drive home. However, I talked Mrs BVPete into checking out the Wilcox Pass Trailhead (access to the cap area) on the way. We tried the first campground but found no official trail, so we continued down the highway to the next bigger campground where we did find the official Trailhead. The GPS’r told me the cap was 3.7 kms distant from this location and 440 meters higher in elevation. I suggested that maybe I could accomplish the return journey in a few hours but was quickly shot down by Mrs BVPete. So I sighed and put on my sad face, saying I would just have to drive all the back later in the week. We hadn’t driven more than a few Kms further before Mrs BVPete, bless her soul, relented and said she would go back to the ice fields and take my Mother for a little walk while I made my try for the cap. She dropped Brutus and I off at the trailhead at 1:15PM and said she would be back at 3:00PM, so I better hurry! And, hurry we did, up that trail to fabulous open meadows where we turned off and followed various sheep trails up, up and up to the cap location. Talk about spectacular views, you could use these for that definition, what a privilege it is to be able to access places like this and thank God they are in protected parks! OK, it is now 2:22 PM and it is not likely that I am going to get back by 3:00 so the trip down is going to happen in BVPete’s very awkward and painful cross country jogging mode. I staggered into the parking, totally exhausted at 3:08 and found my ladies patiently waiting after having spent a very enjoyable time wandering around the area. The total return distance turned out to be 8.7 kms with an elevation gain of 440 meters. Thank you very much for posting this cap ofth, it has to be one of the best! Mrs BVPete and I will be back to make a more leisurely trip to this place, probably in the spring to see what I am sure will be a spectacular wild flower display.

That's a pity; it's got one of the best views from a cap anywhere. I camped a few nights at the tent campground down below, as it was forecast to be scorching hot back in Edmonton for the next few days, and I knew I could count on it being quite a bit cooler up here, next to that giant ice cube. The day I arrived, I couldn't wait, so I had an early dinner and a beer, waited a bit, then scooted up a few hours before sunset - I wanted to catch the evening light painting the mountains in its special way, then scurry down before it got dark. Which I did - and then I came back up the next day just to explore some more. You've gotta love a hike this short, that takes you to a view this grand, and you don't even have to get in your car to reach the trailhead. It's just straight up from the tent. Thanks for the most memorable cap! 2005-06-05T20:00:00 Found it Rocky 1 Log Date: June 05/05 BCP 019 Icefields Parkway AB N 52 23.826 W117 13.731 Started at the campground and followed the trail up, all easy going, remember to always take any left forks in trail.

What a climb! Good thing there was a second cache nearby to make it doubly worth while.<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I hiked up the Wilcox Pass trail and then south from the pass to the ridge overlooking the ice fields. The cap was fully exposed and I found it after a few minutes search. Interesting topography along the ridge as the vertical bedding has the rock seams protruding in long parallel rows. There are three virtual caches (including this one) close to the icefields now so get your climbing boots on.

I remembered one of the context shots had it pretty much aligned with the three path barriers, and I managed to find it without too much trouble. It helped, too, that the cap was embedded inside a 9-inch circle of concrete, which I felt while prodding around with my trekking pole. Thanks. 2014-07-11T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP020 Red Deer Nothing about this cap went as planned! Kids! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> At least we eventually made it today. Mr Shark had previously spotted this one which was fortunate. At that time he had walked right to it but today the GPS never read closer than 8 m and was usually almost double that. Fortunately, his memory was more accurate. We found this cap in good condition and surrounded with a cement collar which makes it a bit easier to find. 2014-04-24T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP-020 Red Deer N 52 15.570 W 113 48.415 A gorgeous day to be out on the trails.

After parking a ways a way, I made a nice little jaunt over to the cap. But where was it? After searching for about 10 minutes, I was attempting to make sense of the hint and spied a tell tale bunch of dried grass. Removing with my foot revealed the cap in all its glory. Phew. Found it.

I eventually located it a fair bit northwest of where I'd been searching. At least I think it was northwest; for awhile today my internal compass was 90 degrees out of whack and had me thinking I was going north when in fact I was heading east. Neither compass sweeps nor screwdriver probes found this one; scuffing some leaves with my foot revealed the welcome sight of brass.

So we covered it up again. My mapping software had it on the other side of the creek - fortunately we ignored my mapping software. Clue for others: park by the skateboard area. TFTC 2002-10-12T20:00:00 Found it park2 Hey! My first cap. It popped up on my GPS as being only a couple hundred meters away and thought we could just run across the road from the Kin Canyon cache. Unfortunately found some serious wet in our way so went back to the car and drove around. Got pretty close too! Looked, and looked some more, and no sign of it. The ground had been built up a little and wondered if it could be below grade a bit. Hmmm. Oh, wait a minute, I just happen to have a pin finder in the truck. I know, not many cachers may travel with one but I believe in being prepared. Waved it around a few times and found two indications. The first one (the stronger one) was just an iron pin pounded in. The second one was the cap. Took picutures of them both. Also found a weird pair of aparati sticking out of the ground near the creek, any idea what they are? (see pic) Thanks, OFTH!

There have been a number of caps that I felt like I had looked for them, but maybe didn't log them. This one I hunted for before unsuccessfully. This time the construction threatened the location, but we were lucky to come at it from the back side, slip around, and found the cap!! It took less time to find than when I was hunting last time. I think last time I looked was very early in my cap hunting. Glad to get it found!! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> TFTCap!! 2017-05-02T20:00:00 Found it mikefromcanmore BCP021 Another one where you had to walk through a construction zone. Jump a ditch, walk around a fence and try and look nonchalant while being watched by a bunch of construction works. Despite all this after a few minutes of looking the cap was found. 2017-04-30T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP021 - Red Deer I headed back up to Red Deer today to find a few more brass caps and this was the second of five. It was on the other side of the chain link fence in the construction area so I continued a bit south to where I could go around the end of the fence. Then it was a fairly quick find. Thanks for the cap and the information is on it's way. 2017-04-29T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP021 Red Deer N 52° 16.050 W 113° 49.965 I wasn't really sure I was going to go to Red Deer this morning until I got up, checked the weather and the brass cap page. Even though the forecast was for some rain, the temperatures were supposed to hit the double digits so I decided to go. Since I was not familiar with navigating around Red Deer, I had some back and forth but all in all it wasn’t too bad. There was construction in the area, I think a football field is being redone. In any case, it took me a bit of walking before I found the path and got to GZ. I used co-ordinates from a previous log which helped with the find. Then, of course, I found a more direct way back to my vehicle. Pictures have been sent to OFTH. 2017-04-28T20:00:00 Didn't find it k5¢ents BCP021 Red Deer The area surrounded by construction workers and Do Not Enter Open Excavation signs.

Easily located. Tftc 2016-05-28T20:00:00 Found it 0728ALH Bcp021 red deer at bower ponds Tftc 2016-05-28T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP021 - Red Deer Posted: N52° 16.050 W113° 49.965 My GPSr: N52° 16.051 W113° 49.965 Well it's quite the thrill to be able to log this find. I'd tried and failed in the past to get to this one, but like others, I was stopped up by the fence around the playing field. There's that, but let's face it, it's #021!; if you notice my caching handle that number is important to me. It was mildly irritating being so close yet so far from a cap with my number on it, so to speak. On a <a href="http://coord.info/GC6E03Z" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">recent hiking event in the Ministik Bird Sanctuary</a>, I happened to mention that irritation to gumbyphv who is from Red Deer and had joined the event hike. A few days later he messaged me with the news that the gate to the playing field is now open because of construction in the area. The field is being used for visitor parking. The only wild card was that someone might be parked right over the cap. Thanks very much to gumbyphv for thinking of my pain - well, mild irritation? - and following up with that info! When I arrived on scene, I saw that there weren't any cars anywhere near where the cap promised to be. I was able to stroll up and find the goods in short order because of a tell-tail depression in the ground - I think have manjalou to thank for that. YES! I've found #021! That was one of the highlights of my visit to beautiful, sunny Red Deer today. 2016-05-28T20:00:00 Found it Snowbirdhikers BCP021-Red Deer Out for a walk today on this beautiful morning and noticed the football field was being used for parking. Walked over to where my gps led me and I soon had the information I needed. First brass cap find! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2016-05-19T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP021 Red Deer We had been for a walk to Bower Ponds last evening and noticed they gates to the football field was open. The gates are usually closed unless a game is on but they are using the field for parking while the construction on the riverbank is ongoing. We had no GPS with us last night so we came back this morning. The metal detector beeped almost right away when we placed it where we thought it might be. A little digging and we unearthed the BCP. Thankyou for smilie this morning Outforthehunt. 2014-07-16T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP021 Red Deer We'd been warned about this cap, noted the high number of DNFs and knew about the locked gate obstacle. Today we decided to check it out for the first time and were delighted to find the gate open and a team just leaving the area! Well that was a good start right there, but we knew we'd need our luck to continue. We had barely gotten to GZ when a city worker drove his maintenance vehicle over to let us know he was about to lock the gate. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_sad.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> We explained our purpose and he said we could exit through the field house if necessary. Our luck was holding! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> So the search began. The GPS was jumpy, the sun was very hot and the breeze was negligible. After prodding a few promising spots, we deployed compass and a metal detector app. As the length of our search crept closer to the total 20 or so minutes, there was increasing talk about giving up and coming back with a metal detector on another (cooler!) day. We pocketed the GPS and concentrated on an area straight out from the orange paint on the chain link fence. Finally the phone app got very excited and the screwdriver agreed with a promising "clunk"! The dry ground was very hard and grass roots were a hindrance, but enough turf was peeled back to get what we needed. There were high fives over the cap and an appreciation of our good fortune! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The cap is approximately 10.5 ft / 3.2 m from the orange mark on the chain link fence between two dandelion plants. Exiting the field house, we found the worker having lunch with two others. One had found a few caches and all were aware of people searching the field for something. We answered questions and explained how this unique cache worked and that there was not a traditional cache hidden out on the field somewhere. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> We thanked them for letting us search and left them to their lunch. Thanks for a challenging and satisfying cap, outforthehunt. 2013-05-16T20:00:00 Didn't find it Coolcat21 BCP021 Red Deer Well this was going to be the icing on the cake of my first capping visit to Red Deer today. It was #21 – if you notice my Geocaching handle, you'll see 21 is my favourite number. I just had to find #21. But it was not to be. Like many others in the past, I checked out the WRONG side of the fence before realizing that I had to be inside to make the find. Then my GPSr batteries went dead. After walking back to the car and replacing with newly charged batteries, I tried ALL the entrances to the football field but found them all padlocked. I'd left my ninja outfit at home today, so that method of entering wasn't an option. You really need the suit. That's all I'm allowed to say about that. So no find of #21 today. I guess I can say I'll be back, but how to get to this one – legally, without a ninja suit, that is - is still a mystery to me. 2012-06-10T20:00:00 Found it Andronicus BCP021 RedDeer N52 16.050 W113 49.966 (1m) 853.1m (6m) Took a bit of work getting to GZ. I came at this one from the little paddle pond, and had to cross a small creek (almost fell in because I just had flipflops on and it had just rainned). Found some golf balls on the way (must have flown over the fence from the nearby pitch and put). I don't know why this took me so long to find, but I was searching for about 10 min. In the end, it should have been easy, maybe daylight would have helped.

The gates were closed so I scaled the fence and gumbyphv chose the under the fence method in a spot with a big opening. We looked for a bit and finally I decided to try the metal detector app on my galaxy nexus which surprised me because it worked quite well. Thanks for an eventful lunch break and smiley! 2012-05-18T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv Nice sunny day to spend a lunch time in Bower Ponds grabbing BCP021 - Red Deer.

And hey, it's always fun to be able to sneak under a fence - although I must admit, I was glad I hadn't eaten any of those Stampeders donuts earlier in the day:) 2011-09-05T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP021 Red Deer We made an attempt on this cap many years back when our searching techniques and equipment were not as developed as they are today and were defeated back then. Today we came armed with the latest GPS, metal detector, trowel, and screw driver only to be turned back by a locked gate. Not be be defeated, we resorted to some of those childhood skills used to breach such barriers We were within 19 m of the cap when the batteries in the GPS died. "I thought you had the spares". "No, I thought you had them". Rock, paper, scissors and I was dispatched back under the fence to the vehicle to get the batteries. Back at a full gallop and just as I went under for the 3rd time, I could hear the distinctive beep of the metal detector. The Count using her caching instincts and pacing off from where we had the last signal, fired up the detector right over the cap and had it uncovered by the time I got there. Got the numbers and the money shot and then, for the fourth time, bellied under the fence. Thanks for the adventure. 2011-08-19T20:00:00 Found it rubiconrunner BCP021 Red Deer Arrived here fully prepared to see a soccer or football game going on. Nobody on the field and the gates were open! I stopped by the nearby office but no employees seemed to be around. Oh well, scrambled across the field, did the deed and was outta there before anybody was the wiser. TFTBC and the excitement! This entry was edited by rubiconrunner on Saturday, 27 August 2011 at 16:29:17 UTC. 2010-10-02T20:00:00 Didn't find it DanOCan BCP021: Red Deer My quest to clean out Red Deer of caps failed with this one. First I was on the wrong side of the chain link fence, and second -- there was a football game taking place on the correct side of the fence. Regretfully I had to stand just meters away from ground zero and let this one slip through my hands today. 2010-09-17T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP021 - RedDeer Sometimes it all in the timing. I tried this one last week on my way to Edmonton to find the facility locked up tight. This week, on a similar trip, I thought I would give it another try. As I pulled in, my heart sank as I saw a locked gate - but wait - what's that, a parks and rec employee by one of the nearby buildings. I approached and asked if it would be OK for me to sneak through the gate to take a picture of the cap. He said sure and that he was just getting ready to mow the field, so he would be opening the gate! I ran back to the van and grabbed my capping gear. By the time I made it to the cap location, the grass over the cap was nicely mowed aiding me in my search! Ah the sweet smell of fresh cut grass and success! 2010-09-10T20:00:00 Didn't find it Sears Tower BCP021 - RedDeer No luck today as the gates were closed. I did find a golf ball though! Where can I log that find? 2010-07-07T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP021 Red Deer This is a lot easier without snow on the ground... not easy, but easier. The thick grass really makes this one hard to find. Thankfully, my compass pointed me in the right direction as I swept the search area. Usually getting hit with a golf ball is not one of the dangers of capping, but today a ball landed within 1m of my location. I'm not sure where it came from. Oh well, just one more experience while out on the hunt. TFTBC!!!! 2009-11-08T20:00:00 Didn't find it rat root BCP 021 RED DEER Thanks for the hunt 2009-10-24T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP021 Red Deer Posted N52° 16.050 W113° 49.965 GPSr N52° 16.050 W113° 49.967 Well this one beat us on the last attempt after an hour searching in the hot sun with a metal detector and a compass. After reviewing past logs, we found a context shot by nicolo that we knew would get us to within a few m of the cap. We arrived this morning to an open gate again. Phew. As we walked over to GZ, we noticed quite a few folks gathering in the stands. Hmmm... When we got to GZ, we found the cap very quickly just as 2 football teams, coaches and officials come running right towards us. Here we are at the start of a football game on the wrong side of the field. An official came over and let us know that no spectators were permitted on the field and that we were to head over to the bleachers right away. That cut our visit short, but we still managed to get the required numbers before getting the heck out of there. Thanks to nicolo for the very useful photo and to OFTH for another memorable experience at a cap. 2009-08-28T20:00:00 Didn't find it Takin it Easy BCP021 Red Deer N52° 16.050 W113° 49.965 This one was the one we were worried about. We've had bad luck with caps in grass fields in the past (see BCP329 FCP and BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood)) and this one looked to be a challenge. First step was no problem as the gate was open. We got to GZ using 2 GPSrs with about 3-4m accuracy. We mapped out a 10m diameter search radius and began compass and metal detector sweeps... nothing. Paced off the hint distances (assuming the south light was now the nearby pole stump) and that put us roughly where we searched so we did another pass... nothing. We expanded the search... nothing. We were at it for almost an hour in the searing hear and all the while the nearby payground was beckoning TiE Jr (who was really patient after losing interest). Time was up and we moved on. Hats off to those who made this a quick find. As expected this one will be anothter 2 or 3 visit cap for us. Off to the playground. Thanks for the cap! We'll be back. 2009-05-14T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP021 Red Deer N52° 16.052’ W113° 49.964’ This cap defeated me the last time I was here. However, today the gates into the soccer field were wide open, so it was an easy find. It’s all in the timing! Thanks for another one ofth. Now, off to Blackfalds. A Butterfly covers the numbers. 2009-05-04T20:00:00 Didn't find it BVPete BCP021 Red Deer The cap was on the wrong side of a tall fence enclosing a soccer field. The field was closed with all gates locked and I felt uncomfortable about crawling under the fence so I left it for another day. 2008-11-02T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP021, Red Deer, Great Chief Park, 860 metres. Nice level area for searching for this cap. TFTC. 2008-10-15T20:00:00 Found it nikonboy BCP021 Red Deer N52°16.050 W113°49.965 This elusive cap was almost legendary in the Red Deer area. I was told that no one has ever found it. Did some research and found out that no one FROM Red Deer had ever found it. Problem solved. Thanks for the assistance Nika. nikonboy 2008-10-15T20:00:00 Found it Nika05 BCP021 ~ Red Deer Great Chief park Woot my last brass cap in my area that none of the locals had found, Nikonboy and myself sneak in under the fence with the cover of darkness and found the cap yay now to wait for another brass cap to show up in the area. 2008-09-09T20:00:00 Found it dronnord BCP 021 Found during a 3 Day Seek N` run between Edmonton and Calgary.Thanks for this adventure.Email has been sent.<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2008-08-28T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP021 Red Deer A visit to Great Chief Park was in order & this was certainly the trickiest cap of the day. First I found myself on the wrong side of a 6ft chain link fence & then the field of grass wasn't giving me any clues either...got it though! TFTH 2008-07-26T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP021 - Red Deer Alt. 863 metres This well preserved cap was hidden in the middle of a featureless sea of grass. If it hadn't been for the compass swinging around as I swept over the cap, I'd likely never have found it. Exposing it was a bit of work, as the grass roots were well established above and around the cap. Thanks for the last cap of the day. 2008-04-03T20:00:00 Found it leawelter BCP021 It took a bit and some crawling around to find the cache. I was with Bish0p and Neko for this find. Picture sent in by Bish0P 2008-04-03T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP021 - Red Deer. Third times a charm I guess. 2008-04-03T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri TFTC, TNLNSL. BCP021, picture to come. #11 of the day! 2007-05-27T20:00:00 Didn't find it Neko&Hiiri BCP021 - Red Deer Do I log it as a DNF? We technically FOUND the location for it, using a cap hunter. The thing is we weren't willing to dig up the field, because it's obviously being re-sodded at the moment... 2006-07-17T20:00:00 Found it Klimbing Kiddo BCP021-Red Deer First cap of the day. I didn't climb over the fence so I watched RRs record the numbers from the other side. 2006-07-17T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP021 Red Deer First of several brass caps this weekend. Required a bit of physical effort to retrieve this cap. TFTH 2006-07-08T20:00:00 Found it hurley_108 BCP021: Red Deer. Last time through I missed this one because the area was locked. This time it wasn't. 2006-07-03T20:00:00 Didn't find it wavector BCP 021, Red Deer A soccer game kept this one out of sight and out of hand. I will have to revisit this one. 2006-06-10T20:00:00 Write note hurley_108 I nominate BCP021 for replacement, as it is behind a fence and not in general available. 2006-05-07T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP021 - Red Deer - Great Chief Park We finally found this elusive cap early this morning. Thankfully the snow was gone and we did the fence roll, pulled out the tools and moments later the cap was uncovered. We'll send off the numbers shortly. TFTH. 2006-04-21T20:00:00 Didn't find it Smrt_geer BCP021 Red Deer I think I was tired and delerious from the drive from Edmonton on the way home. Could not find it despite my best foot-scuffing. 2005-11-11T20:00:00 Didn't find it Sunshine* BCP021: Never found it, but we surely tried hard and had a good laugh after Mrs. Speedy found a spot where we could all crawl underneat the fence while Mr. Speedy went all around it unsuccessfully and finding us in the football field. It was late and way too dark, but that's geocaching. Sunshine* 2005-11-11T20:00:00 Didn't find it Mr. Speedy BCP021 - Red Deer Well, it was dark, and we looked on the wrong side of the fence at first. After a bit of searching, we decided it had to be "inside". Some of us (the smaller ones) found a way under the fence. We looked a bit, but given the total darkness and the apparent difficulty of this one, we called it a quit, which after reading the other logs was probably the right thing to do. This is the only DNF of the day! Oh well. Mr. Speedy's parade 2005-10-10T20:00:00 Didn't find it RedRouge BCP021 Red Deer Maybe we will have better luck on our next trip. 2005-08-11T20:00:00 Found it XIITerraPaws BCP021 Red Deer N52 16.050 W113 49.965 2005-07-29T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP021-Red Deer Getting inside the fence was easy, there was a soccer practice going on at the time!! Finding the cap in the lush grass took a little searching. Found it down on my hands and knees. Thanks!! 2005-04-22T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP021 - Red Deer N 52 16.050 W 113 49.965 Was able to get "inside" with a little coaxing of staff and found the cap reasonably early, thanks to the work of 3jaze. 2005-04-21T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP021 Red Deer N52° 16.051 W113° 49.965 Elev. 854m. LXX Went to the wrong side of the fence to begin with. LOL. Hopped in the geobuggy, went to the other parking lot and walked across. This one is very nicely tucked away in the turf and took a bit of compass sweeping before locating it. Nice little challenge. Thanks for the hunts and caps.

Road trip! Iron Phoenix and I had a fantastic caching and capping from Calgary to Red Deer. Thanks for the work you do maintaining the caps outforthehunt. 2017-05-02T20:00:00 Found it Iron Phoenix BCP022 - Red Deer Out for another day of capping and caching with OBA, this time in Red Deer!! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> This was a fun one! I hopped out of the geomobile at a red light while OBA went to find a place to park to wait for me. I wandered around for a minute, but nothing obvious until I read some of the description to get some idea of distances from things. Then of course I spotted it right away! TFTCap!! 2017-04-30T20:00:00 Found it mikefromcanmore BCP022 Red Deer. Everything was nice and quiet in downtown Red Deer on a Sunday morning and we took the opportunity to grab some caps in town. 2017-04-30T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP 022 Red Deer We were at the Superstore downtown for a few groceries and decided to find this BCP afterwards. We left our geovehicle in the store parking lot and made the short jaunt over to GZ. We had missed a rainstorm while in the store but the black clouds that had passed over where still visible to the East. We had been here once before a couple of years ago but they were doing some construction and everything was dug up. Today we were thankful to the previous cacher as the cap was cleaned up for pictures. Thankyou Outforthehunt. 2017-04-23T20:00:00 Found it k5¢ents BCP022 Red Deer Quick find at this busy intersection today.

Despite that, my BC finding skills must be improving as I came across this one first out of our group. It was almost like I picked the spot, made one "clearing" motion with my foot, and poof, there was the BC!

A determined rain kept us driving right by the first time. The second attempt found us sitting in our vehicle for half an hour hoping the thunder/downpour/hail would end. We wondered if this cap might be clearly marked due to construction between Taylor Bridge and its location especially after a quick look while driving by yesterday. There's nothing like labeled posts around the cap to make it real easy! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for the afternoon stroll and cap. 2013-05-16T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP022 Red Deer My GPSr: N52 16.094 W113 49.051 Elevation: 865 m Found on a busy street corner with traffic whizzing by.

Arriving on the scene the cap was spotted quickly. Thanks, The Dawntreaders 2010-10-02T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP022: Red Deer Another cap where I was back for my second attempt. The first time there was a homeless man sleeping in the park, this time no one was around except for all the cars going through the intersection. I made an attempt for this one and came up empty, so I went back to the McDonalds parking lot where the car was parked and grabbed the laptop to read the previous logs. Once I read the log about the cap being about 20cm off the concrete I grabbed the tooklit and went back for a second attempt. Several minutes of probing with the screwdriver and soon this one was exposed again. I tried to clear off some of the grass and soil from around the cap to see if it will remain exposed for a bit longer -- it seems to get covered over again quickly judging from its history. 2010-09-10T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP022 - RedDeer #11 today - I parked way to far away! I didn't realized there was free parking so close. 2010-04-08T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP022 Red Deer, 861 metres Looked around in the grass and was briefly fooled by the two decoys holes.

This one took the longest to find of the found caps today. It was located on the grass at the corner of a busy intersection. There was always a line of cars on one of the corners each time the light changed and generally pedestrians waiting to cross. As we were having trouble locating the cap, we pulled out the metal detector. This got a lot of interesting looks. We started to hear occasional honking and then realized that it was from cars further back that were trying to get the attention of the lead cars who were too busy watching us that they would miss the light change. Mrs. TiE and TiE Jr spotted a hole that got a signal on the detector. We managed to uncover a water valve. Took one last sweep where we expected the cap to be and were rewarded with the familiar chime. Phew. Must have been on that corner for a half an hour. Glad to log this one. Thanks for the cap! 2009-05-14T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP022 Red Deer N52° 16.094’ N113° 49.046’ This cap was located very close to a McDonald’s, which was great as I needed another java. A lady actually stopped her car to find out what I had found on the ground that was so interesting that I I had to take a picture of it. I think she was disappointed that it was only a survey marker (some people have strange hobbies). Thanks ofth.

Canoehead was the second team we met that day. TFTBC Sunshine* 2005-11-11T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP022 Red Deer N52 16.093 W113 49.047 You meet the nicest people hunting for caps. We were scratching about in the grass meridan like a pair of demented prairie chickens when along comes Mr Speedy and a portion of his parade. He kindly offers his assistance and then pulls an electronic device out of his backpack. At this point the Paddle and I both jumped back in fright thinking it might be one of those devices that XRN95 is infamous for toting about. Lucky for us it was just a fancy metal detector and he quickly located the cap. Thnaks for the help Mr Speedy, I think if we were there much longer we would have been arrested. 2005-11-11T20:00:00 Found it Mr. Speedy BCP022 - Red Deer So we parked across the street and walk toward the center median. From across the street we could see a couple walking around, heads down with a fat cell phone in their hands. We crossed the street and casually told them we were coming to help them! They looked at us and realized we were after the same thing. Turns out it was Mr. CanoeHead. So we started looking around in the grass, but we couldn't see anything... So I pulled out the ol'yeller. Found quickly after that. Took picture and then got ready to leave while canoeheads were getting ready to do their thing... They thanked us for helping them finding this one. They said they might have not found it without our help. It was nice meeting with you Mr. CanoeHead. TFTBCP.

My information said that it was 4.1 M north west of radial face of curb, but our GPSs just kept pointing into the street. Finally, we decided that some paint was significant, and lo and behold! So we covered it up again, so others will have to work hard too (grin). TFTC 2004-07-01T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP022 - Red Deer, we actually had to dig around slightly to reveal the cap. As my companion indicates the is some significance to red paint on the curbs. The description of this one is outdated as is my map from Mapsource. Both refer to the CPR rail road tracks which have long since been removed.

Even though the forecast was for some rain, the temperatures were supposed to hit the double digits so I decided to go. For the first few brass caps, I parked and walked around to each of them as they were in fairly close proximity from each other. Besides I needed to get out and stretch my legs. Most were quick finds, although the surface of some of the caps was unreadable.

The topic of wearing hi-vis vests came up again because I'm sure we must have looked suspicious there at GZ. A little cleaning was required to get the necessary info off the cap; at least it wasn't filled with water or ice. TFTBC.

The cover on this one came off easy. We used our handy dandy paintbrush to clear off the excess dirt so we could read the numbers. Luckily the nearby dental office was closed for the long weekend . Thanks for the Smiley and the virtual we need for this months "7 Souvenirs of August". 2014-07-22T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP023 Red Deer After finding BCP024 and running an errand, we angled back to find this unique cap. For those concerned this is in someone's front yard, the house has been converted into a dental office. Several covers in close proximity on this corner--*not* the big one! The handle of a pair of sidecutters worked perfectly to lift the manhole type cover off. That revealed a lot of dirt well worked by earthworms. At least it was soft and the cap was quickly revealed. This hole is not nearly deep enough for Mr Manjalou! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for a two cap evening walk, outforthehunt. 2013-06-22T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP023 – Red Deer Posted Coords: N52 16.147 W113 48.192 My GPSr: N52 16.148 W113 48.193 My Elevation: 859 m(((( Another cap in a hole.

I used my small pry bar to life the cover and then the trowel removed the loose dirt from the cap itself. Funny how times change -- I was here once before looking for this cap but gave up quickly because I didn't want to be on the lawn...no such fear today as I was quite bold in my hunt.

As we come down the hill nearing GZ, there are police set up with radar right at GZ. They pull over the car in front of us and we follow them and parked behind them. The officer explains that we were not speeding and were not required to stop so we explain that we meant to park there. While they are writing up 2 cars we walk right past the radar tripod, cross to the other corner by the cruisers, lift the manhole on someone's front lawn, clean the cap, take the necessary photo, replace the manhole and return to our car without any questions being asked of us. Doesn't get any bolder than that. TiE junior couldn't figure out why I was laughing so hard when we got back to the car. He was too busy wanting the explanation for a cap in a manhole... his first.

Quickly found this one on the street corner under the man hole cover. TFTBCP. Mr. Speedy's parade 2005-11-11T20:00:00 Found it GPSVixen BCP023 - Red Deer. Very hard to read, but I did it. Last BCP of the day. Vixie 2005-10-23T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP023 - Red Deer This one took me a little bit. Felt a little awkward snooping around on someone's front lawn, hadn't seen a cover like that one before. Thanks for the cap. 2005-10-10T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP023 Red Deer.

Like nicolo mentioned, Ting and I (sounds like a really bad play, lol) were searching across the street. Found it no problem this time. Even had a brief chat with the gentleman who's land it lies on! Thanks! 2005-07-23T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP023 ( Red Deer ) N52° 16.147 W113° 48.192 (WGS84) Found with XRN95 on the way to Red Deer and Sylvan Lake. Man, I have been here twice before looking for this one. Odd, though, before the coordinates took me quite further east, in the park across the street. This time, I could almost see this one as we drove up to park. It's in an elderly gentleman's lawn and, given that he was outside, I had a quick chat with him, letting him know what we were doing. Good to get that one, got 'em all in Red Deer now! 2005-06-26T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP023 - Red Deer A bit different this one. Took a bit to get the cover off to see this one. Nice cap. 2005-05-31T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP023 Red Deer Central Boy, it sure helps having the RIGHT coordinates and a GOOD description of this one! I tried twice before with no luck...mainly 'cause I was looking about 150 meters away. Took about 3 seconds of searching to finally nab this elusive cap. Thanks 2002-12-01T20:00:00 Found it dhenley and max the dog Used to live in Red Deer onc upon a time so was cool to take the long way bak to Calgary and drive through downtown.

In between other adventures I found this battered cap downtown. TFTBC. 2017-05-02T20:00:00 Found it One Bad Ant BCP024 - Red Deer - this one was not in the first places we looked, but we got it! Road trip! Iron Phoenix and I had a fantastic caching and capping from Calgary to Red Deer. Thanks for the work you do maintaining the caps outforthehunt. 2017-05-02T20:00:00 Found it Iron Phoenix BCP024 - Red Deer Out for another day of capping and caching with OBA, this time in Red Deer!! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I think the area around this one has changed some, as some of the description doesn't apply anymore. Some of it did help, and eventually I found it with a thin layer of dirt over it. Cleaned it up to see a pretty marked up cap! Surprising considering its current, protected location, but if things did change, not surprising with construction nearby. TFTCap!! 2017-04-30T20:00:00 Found it mikefromcanmore BCP024 Red Deer. Had to dodge a few of the locals who were wandering about but the find was quickly made. 2017-04-29T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP024 Red Deer N 52° 16.149 W 113° 48.682 I wasn't really sure I was going to go to Red Deer this morning until I got up, checked the weather and the brass cap page. Even though the forecast was for some rain, the temperatures were supposed to hit the double digits so I decided to go. For the first few brass caps, I parked and walked around to each of them as they were in fairly close proximity from each other. Besides I needed to get out and stretch my legs. Most were quick finds, although the surface of some of the caps was unreadable. Pictures have been sent to OFTH. 2017-04-22T20:00:00 Found it behmSquad BCP024 Red Deer #6 of 46 caps found on the day. I spent the early morning finding caps at all points from Calgary to Red Deer. I returned to Calgary in the afternoon to clear out much of north Calgary including a good hike across nose hill. TFTC 2017-04-22T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP024 - Red Deer I was in Red Deer a couple of days ago to find some Brass caps but I had to leave after just finding three of them so I came back today to find a few more. This cap was tough to spot since the description was confusing but after a fairly brief search (even on the grass side which was wrong), I finally spotted it. The information is on it's way and thanks for the cap which was a quick find. 2017-04-17T20:00:00 Found it GeoGuider BCP024 Red Deer Posted: N 52° 16.149 W 113° 48.682 My GPSr: N 52° 16.146 W 113° 48.690 Email and numbers sent.

Thanks for the fun! 2017-04-02T20:00:00 Found it sapien BCP024 Red Deer This was probably our 2nd most challenging BC of the day; for whatever reason, our GZ for this BC was probably 15-20m out. We spent a lot of time looking in the green space; at one point, my GPSr was even telling me it was in the building. Luckily losmir read out the hint and narloth was able to make sense of it. At that point, I was busy pushing around a little pile of dirt that had built up in one of the corners in hopes the BC was hidden underneath (it wasn't, of course). TFTBC. You-know-who will send our group's proof. ;-) 2016-07-26T20:00:00 Found it Snowbirdhikers BCP024 Red Deer Second time by here to find this one. This time it was an easy run up and find!

Even with the Hints, we had given up looking for it and were getting ready to get on our bikes and head back to the Campground, when I {andHugh} looked down, and there it was right there in the concrete sidewalk. I must have been standing on it while we were perusing the area for it. Although the GPSr co-ords are close to the Posted ones, the Elevation reading is off a bit. Logging this on the 20th after we got home but found it on July 16th.

It just needed a little brushing a bit of water to expose the numbers. It is a gorgeous morning and it was great to get downtown and walk around a bit. Thanks Outforthehunt for the BCP 2014-07-22T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP024 Red Deer As Coolcat21 said in his log for this cap, context shots are very helpful and we are grateful for them and previous logs regularly. And for the Summary of Finds that makes them so easy to access! From previous logs we knew the coords were horrible so we wrote down several alternates just in case, but it was Coolcat21's excellent context shot that enabled us to find this without any satellite involvement. The GPSr was only there for the photo shoot. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Note the distance to destination. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_shock.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The slight depression filled with sand was easily spotted and dusted off. Despite the beaten condition of this cap, the numbers are readable and a bit of water on the cap really made them pop out. For Sharks, many things go better with a bit of water. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> With that taken care of, it was off to cut across City Hall Park just across the street on our way to run an errand before finding the next cap for the evening. The Park is looking very nice this time of year. Thanks for a cap to work into our evening walk!

Sometimes my location jumps several hundred meters away and sometimes my accuracy rating changes as well. Getting home and logging this cap, it appears to be the case at this cap. The GPSr got me right to the cap location and we parked just meters away yet in the picture of the GPS the coordinates aren't even close despite claiming an accuracy of 7m. Weird. Regardless, cap was a quick find in the sidewalk. Had to dust off some fine dust to reveal the numbers but it was easily marked thanks to some orange spray paint on the sidewalk. 2007-09-15T20:00:00 Found it KappaAlpha Team BCP024 - Red Deer 2007-09-03T20:00:00 Found it Nika05 BCP024 ~ Red Deer 52 16.149 113 48.682 2007-05-27T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri BCP024 - Red Deer Have emailed owner for verification.

Today, I had the official Spin sheet, so I knew where to look (surprisingly, it was on the opposite side of the street that we had spent waaaay too much time searching on). Not that the information we had was all that useful, but at least it put us in more or less the correct spot. And then the cap revealed itself, in all of its scratched glory. Got the numbers, so I'm happy.

Thanks! 2005-03-05T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP024 Red Deer Another easy one to find but pretty scratched up. Thanks 2004-05-02T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP024 Red Deer NE Crnr Sometime these one-way streets just get in the way. Sunday is a good day to come downtown. There’s hardly any traffic and parking is easy. There’s also less people to look foolish to as you hunker down to take a picture of a brass cap. 2002-11-22T20:00:00 Found it Thunderbird97 Not posting coordinates because coverage was in and out. Had no problem finding it though since we were there with Mrbond last night. Picture shows the poor, beat up cap. If you blow the dust off and get down close to look at it you'll get strange looks from passer buyers (busy place) but you should be able to work out the date(not visible in picture). Good cache! 2002-11-22T20:00:00 Found it harley_squirrelnuts Was there today. I'm sure that people thought I was strange crossing the street a couple times back and forth. Actually my 7 year old found it. This one is really beat up and pretty much impossible to read. 2002-11-21T20:00:00 Found it mrbond N 52° 16.152 W 113° 48.690 Found this one real easy, even at night. Had Thunderbird97 meet me near the cap, coincidentaly just after an Iced Cap from Tim Horton's ;) Just like it said, the cap was real beat up... so I'll leave it to you to decipher the stamp.

I have meant to log it but have usually been in too much of a hurry. Well, given the present circumstance with silly decisions of all sorts coming out of the States, I'd better get it before it's gone. Sigh. Thanks for a great cache series.

TFTC 2016-03-29T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP025 Ponoka Mr Shark reasoned that since this cap was south of BCP324 and that home was also to the south that we should stop on our way past. How could Mrs Shark argue in the face of such logic? Besides, he was driving! We pulled well off the highway and made our way over. There are a number of changes from the hint information: the cap is still above ground level but not as high as noted, the fence is gone and the marker post is about 1.5 feet west of the cap. Since its last visit in May, 2015, the cap has been painted a becoming spring shade of pink. It's in great condition with clearly stamped numbers and is a quick find. Thanks for ending our visit to Ponoka with a couple of nice finds, outforthehunt! 2015-05-09T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP025 - Ponoka Posted: N52 40.021 W113 36.197 MyGPSr: N52 40.021 W113 36.197 Found this one 1.5 feet to the right of the metal guard post.

I think I missed this one because it looks so different from the "standard" brass cap. I had left the GPS in the truck because I already knew which area this one was in so my picture just has the cap in it this time. 2007-06-16T20:00:00 Didn't find it DanOCan BCP025 -- Ponoka Parked on the side road. Based on the cache description I walked down the west side of the fence but the dense trees and underbrush kept me 20m from the cap. I walked back and tried the east side which got me to the survey marker but as per the description the cap is 3' west of that location and the fence kept me from getting in to look for it. I hoped to spy it from my side of the fence but no such luck -- the grass and undergrowth was too dense. So, no cap = no find. Too bad because I got soaked getting in to that location. 2007-05-11T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri BCP025 - Ponoka We did this as part of the Edmonton Super-Caching run with bish0p.

The manhole cover remover that Mr Shark fashioned worked very well to reveal what lay beneath. The pin didn't feel like there were numbers stamped in its sides but it was a bit wobbly! Mr Shark avoided pulling on it--just in case! While the cover was being removed a fellow with a Boston Terrier came down the nearby path and turned to take the path away from us. However, the little dog stopped...and stared...and panted...and wagged his tail...and resisted gentle attempts to be led away. He might be a geodog who doesn't know it. Finally the owner, with a grin at us, walked backwards in a comical manner to get the dog's attention and get him moving again!

Despite our full suite of capping paraphernalia (metal detector, shovel, probes, pry bars, screwdrivers and hand grenades) we could not get the cover off the manhole. So we took a variety of context shots and staked a claim.

We were here in hockey season but there was no way to remove the frozen-in cover then. It almost needed tools to get at this time of year. An interesting change on the normal cap style.

SH had already found this one, but it was on our route so we popped by for me to hunt for this one. It was still quite early but there was another car in the lot of someone out for a morning jog in the park. Another pin under a heavy manhole that was not too difficult to remove today. Thanks for another cap OFTH! 2010-07-27T20:00:00 Found it plmy BCP027 Wainwright 2010-05-16T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP027 Wainwright Posted: N52° 50.516 W110° 51.278 GPSr: N52° 50.517 W110° 51.278 (+/- 3.4) Coordinates were good, so we had no trouble finding the manhole cover. Prying it open required using the chisel as a lever. A grandfather was flying a kite with his grandchildren, who were driving around in a small, electrical ATV. A couple were enjoying a picnic on this fine day. Ms. CR checked out the doggie drinking fountain that was shaped like a lion. Thanks for listing this cap. 2010-04-26T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP027: Wainwright Our first cap of the day as we took the "creative" route from North Battleford back home to Priddis. The GPSr was still getting warmed up and getting a sat. lock but I had seen enough of the context shots to have an idea of where to hunt. Sure enough, I spotted the manhole and was even able to pry it up with my hands to get a shot of the "cap". 2009-12-27T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP027 - Wainwright I had a couple of caps on my to do list on the east side, so today seemed like the perfect time for a drive. I ended up approaching this one from the alley and wandered down to GZ. It took a little work to uncover the cap, but it wouldn't have been as much fun if it were too easy. Great spot - TFTCap and I'll post a couple of pictures. 2009-10-11T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP027 Wainwright Easy to find, but took a while to get the lid off!

But even though the sun was getting lower and it was intermittently raining, I wasn't finished with brass caps for the day. I had to circle the park to figure out how to approach this one; the roads that the GPSr wanted to route me on didn't exist for the most part! In the end, I parked less than 20 metres away from ground zero. It's been a couple of years since a cacher had this cover off and it was well sealed. The tools I had may not be what the makers had in mind for opening this particular mini manhole, but they did the job nicely. A pair of sturdy straight screwdrivers would likely do the job as well. The base of the hole is covered in a pile of rust and dirt; the cast iron manhole is slowly raining down on the pin as fine rust particles.Thanks for the cap. 2007-08-21T20:00:00 Found it PDOP's BrassCap BCP027 Wainwright It stopped raining in time for me to do this cap. Luckily I had my Princess Auto 2ft screwdriver to remove the manhole lid but was disappointed to only find a frost pin. No numbers for you OFTH. It looks like a nice little park.

At first I dreaded the 1800km of driving needed to get there and back for our son, but then I realized I was heading right though the cap mecca of the Yellowhead and a smile came across my face. Yes I have a problem. This was cap number one of the trip. Beautiful spot. Lots of wild flowers. 2009-06-26T20:00:00 Found it Wanderin' Watsons BCP028 Jasper N53° 04.681 W118° 02.055 Found this brass cap on our way to Jasper to treat the kids to a movie (Transformers II), atfer doing well in school and a fun way to kick off summer. 2009-06-07T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP028 - Jasper Elev. 994 metres So Jasper's elevation is actually lower than Calgary's? I didn't know that. A leisurely drive in the mountains managed to transform itself into a 14 hour marathon of driving and capping. I've never been to Jasper before, but I'm definitely going to be back again. The traffic was very light and so it was no problem to pull off and park on the shoulder. I found the faux BCP028 by the guard post right away but the coordinates weren't even close so I walked to the end of the peninsula and found the real McCoy marked with blue flagging in the adjacent tree just to the north. Just like the Herbert Lake cap, this one has double stamped digits and the BM letters have been ground off. Other than that it's in fine shape. The cap stands just proud of the ground but at this time of year the grass doesn't obscure it. The lake water is crystal clear, which surprised me a bit. I was expecting the usual greenish opaqueness that accompanies rock flour suspended in the water. I wonder where the water here comes from? Thanks for the cap in an absolutely beautiful little spot just off the highway. 2008-11-09T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP028 Jasper N53° 04.681 W118° 02.055 Jasper National Park is the largest of Canada's Rocky Mountain Parks and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site (comprised of Jasper, Banff, Yoho and Kooenay National Parks and Mount Robson, Hamber and Mount Assiniboine provincial parks). Jasper spans 10,878 square kilometers of broad valleys, rugged mountains, glaciers, forests, alpine meadows and wild rivers along the eastern slopes of the Rockies in western Alberta. There are more than 1200 kilometers of hiking trails (both overnight and day trips), and a number of spectacular mountain drives. Large numbers of elk, bighorn sheep, mule deer and other large animals, as well as their predators make Jasper National Park one of the great protected ecosystems remaining in the Rocky Mountains. This vast wilderness is one of the few remaining places in southern Canada that is home to a full range of carnivores, including grizzly bears, mountain lions, wolves and wolverines. Particularly noteworthy features of Jasper National Park include: • The highest mountain in Alberta (Mt. Columbia, 3747 metres); • The hydrographic apex of North America (the Columbia Icefield) where water flows to three different oceans from one point; • The longest underground drainage system known in Canada (the Maligne Valley karst); • The only sand-dune ecosystem anywhere in the Four Mountain Parks (Jasper Lake dunes); • The northern limit in Alberta of Douglas-fir trees (Brûlé Lake); • The last fully protected range in the Rocky Mountains for caribou (Maligne herd); • The most accessible glacier in North America (the Athabasca). On September 14, 1907, the Dominion Government established Jasper Forest Park (later called Jasper National Park), setting aside an area of about 13,000 square kilometres. The National Parks Act was passed in 1930 and Jasper was officially established as a national park, with a final area of just over 10,000 square kilometres. We really enjoyed our brief stay in Jasper and plan to make a return visit. If the Jasper Tramway is closed next time, we'll be sure to allow enough time to make the hike up to find the other Jasper brass cap. In the meantime, thanks for this one! 2008-11-08T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP 028 Jasper We had the privilege of spotting a large black wolf just down the road from this cap.

What can you say about a concrete pillar painted yellow with red bands? That they're visible from quite a distance? That they're winter friendly? Oh wait, I think I already implied that. Hmm. Oh yes, they're not likely to be plowed under, run down or muggled? Normally, I think that would about cover it but this pillar has an added bonus in the form of a dedication plaque.

Out N53.19.151 was bang on, but the west 117.43.184 was not a match with the official coordinates.

Don't you love it when one of these pops up close to home. Entered the waypoint into my GPSr last night when the watch list e-mail arrived then set out early this morning. Passed five deer then a herd of 15 wapiti on the road east of the cache. Found a Brass Cap on steroids right beside the road and returned home to log my find. Great start to my day ;o) until I booted up my PC and went to the cache page. Hey outforthehunt changed the coordinates !! Ah well I could see why as it was already a virtual for the Canadian Base Network. Nice guy that he is he recognized my efforts and let me claim it anyway. Note to all that follow me - you have a chance for a hat trick on this trip. Check out the nearby caches.

Once I got close I finally realized why my Nuvi was trying to route me to this spot via way over from Highway 40; in theory, I guess it's possible since indeed there's a road arriving from that direction.

It was lucky for me that it was -10C at sunrise meaning that the muddy water filled pothole road was essentially frozen solid. I had fun breaking the ice layer on some of the smaller water accumulations. I got a bit cocky at one point and hitting a series of potholes with a bit of speed cycled the shocks on the rental truck through their full range of motion a few times.

As Corollas are not made for off-roading, this one will have to wait for a return trip another day when it's not so late and I have time for a hike. 2009-04-25T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP030 - Hinton On the way back from Jasper I decided to check out the autoroute function on the GPS for this rather out of the way cap. Initially I followed a pretty decent road for the first two kilometres, and then everything started to get soft, pot holes galore, and mud that was pretty thick. Fortunately the road got me to within 30 metres of the cap, and I snapped the necessary pictures and off towards Grande Cache - TFTH and adventure. 2008-10-06T20:00:00 Found it MadMother BCP030 Hinton N53.19.853 W117.45.275 Found this one in a small clearing not far from the road on a grass covered knoll with my geobushdogs.

Passed the same herd of Wapiti sunning themselves on this lovely spring day. Drove to within a half k of the cache then hoofed it through an old cutblock. Nice 10 metre spruce regen and no snow at all made for a pleasant walk. Found the cap right beside the metal stake. This one is sticking up about 6 cm above the ground and is absolutely pristine so no problem reading the numbers. You could probably drive right to it on the old logging roads with a 4X4.

Even though the waypoints I'd planned before arriving helped a LOT, I had to stop and get my bearings at one complicated fork along the way. I ended up taking the right road (phew!) and like others was able to park a little less than 400 m from the cap. From the parking spot the first leg was downhill on a quad trail and soon the topo map told me it was time for a modest bushwhack across the slope to the cap. It was fun exploring my way over to the cap which is an easy find once I'd arrived near gz, the cap being welded into a sizable rock and all. My coords were quite off my entire visit: the 9m off shown in my pic was one of the better readings. This ended up being a really fun find. There was some exploration by car, then some effort on foot up and down the slope, the chance to see Hinton from a new perspective.

Having worked for the company for many years, I figured I was allowed to utilize the convenient parking the site provided. The strolll to the cap was a short downhill one in a light forest with lots of wildflowers. Once we reached GZ, Littlest TiE darted to the cap to touch it first as usual while I took in the nice view of Hinton. A nice cap location with a good view. Very nice. A storm rolled in as we returned to the car which meant a long drive back to Hinton on very muddy forrestry roads.

The next morning we left the Holiday Inn and looked across the river ( north ) ... we could easily see the rig from the HI parking lot. 2005-05-04T20:00:00 Found it Rocky 1 BCP032 My first Brass Caps with my poodle "Sienna" enjoyed the hike on this sunny day. Great view! N53 04.681 W117 02.055 2003-09-02T20:00:00 Found it PDOP's BCP032 Hinton N 53° 25.009' W 117° 37.384' HINTON A nice drive on the backroads and then a pleasant stroll through an open forest to a sunny grassy slope with the cap marked by a stake - couldn't be better. This cap is located in the Athabasca Ranch Forest Land Use Zone across the Athabasca River from Hinton. The access road is rutted but passable with a small car if you're careful (I was). My Garmin GPS12 was within 1 metre with an indicated EPE of 5.2 metres. The indicated elevation varied between 1052 and 1061 metres while I was at the cap. Thanks for a cap in a very nice spot.

I was puzzled as to why my coords had me decisively in the road. Realized that was correct. Many thanks to the previous cachers for loosening this one - I pulled the lid off with just my finger. The hole is still full of water. I see others have gotten the go ahead to log this one wet, so I will do likewise given the uncertainty about logging time left. Thanks! Pic attached. 2017-04-26T20:00:00 Found it mkPerry BCP033 Edmonton -Fort Edmonton Park Grabbed a few more BCPs this afternoon. Found the survey MH easily enough. The lid however was stuck. Tried kicking it to loosen it. Didn't work. Then pulled out my trowel and tried to loosen by it a bit. Another mistake - broke the tip off. Then I tried a few other things and came to the conclusion I needed to empty the full trunk to get to the tire iron. It worked to get the lid off. But the hole was full of water. Thankfully got approval to submit. Glad the parking lot was basically empty. Thanks outforthehunt for another BCP. 2017-04-19T20:00:00 Found it j0ckser BCP033 Edmonton-Fort Edmonton Park Posted: N53° 30.227 W113° 34.254 My GPSr: N53° 30.226 W113° 34.251 GeoGuider and I met to see if we could find a couple more brass caps while there's still time. Finding the well cover was easy enough… getting it off was another thing. Tried to use our trowel, but broke the tip. Oh well, that make 2 trowel tips in the gap. Thanks for the brass cap, OFTH. 2017-04-19T20:00:00 Found it GeoGuider BCP033 Edmonton-Fort Edmonton Park Posted: N53° 30.227 W113° 34.254 My GPSr: N53° 30.226 W113° 34.251 Well j0ckser and I met again after work to see if we could find a couple more brass caps while there's still time. So we head down into the river valley by Fort Edmonton Park. The day looked lovelier than it was for this time of year. It was nice and sunny, but there’s still a definite nip in the air. Finding the well cover was easy enough… getting it off was another thing. Thanks for the brass cap, ofth <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. That’s another one found. 2016-05-15T20:00:00 Found it WillowZilla BCP033 - Fort Edmonton Park I wasn't searching out a cap today, but after finding the cache I WAS looking for down here and getting back to the car, the gps reads 20m from a cap... well then. A couple seconds of searching before realizing it's in the middle of the road, I tried to lift the cover with finger strength alone and that didn't go so well. So back to the car for my crowbar! That did the trick, but now here's a hole full of dirt! Probing around with said crowbar, there's a little bit of a thunk, so I start digging. Probably removing 2-3 inches of material out of the hole. Now I've got the cap exposed, but there's no way I can read the numbers, so I head over to the nearby Nature Centre and fill up some containers i had in the car with water and head back to GZ. This did the trick and i was able to get most of the numbers off the cap. Only one Truck stopped and checked out what I was doing. Pretty hard to be stealthy when you're digging with a crowbar in the middle of the road :) 2015-10-03T20:00:00 Found it G & E BCP033 Edmonton - Fort Edmonton Park A completely empty parking lot made for an easy find here. Even better, I could get the manhole of with just my finger! Probably my last cap find before the snow falls. 2015-09-29T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP033 Edmonton -Fort Edmonton Park Exploring the SW part of Edmonton this evening and picking up a few caps in the area, TFTC! 2015-09-12T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP033 Edmonton -Fort Edmonton Park After a cold and rainy long Labour Day weekend people were making the best of this hot, sunny Saturday. Wherever we went during our Edmonton Search Party with ManjaLou, we found folks making good use of the parks and trails. The parking lot for Fort Edmonton showed it was hosting a crowd, too. With that busyness in mind we knew we'd have to be quick to grab a cap in the middle of the road! The teamwork that had been evident all day really helped here. After a quick on-foot reconnaissance, we all intuitively fell into our roles. Mr Shark brought the Sharkmobile around to act as a safety block for the road crew. Even the Sharkmobile was directly involved in this search and it purposely blinked a caution to anyone who might come along. As soon as it was in place, Mr ManjaLou quickly removed the cover. The ladies swooped in and took pictures. The cover was replaced, the vehicle pulled up closer, we all jumped in and cleared the area. Mission complete in less than a minute* and before any other traffic came along! This cap really brought out the smoothness of our cooperation and was quite satisfying. Thanks for the fun, outforthehunt! How did we [i]ever[/i] get the idea that capping might be rather dull? So unenlightened we were! <ul> <li>Estimated time, to be sure, but from the time the four-way flashers went on to when we were driving away it went so flawlessly and quickly.</li> </ul> 2015-09-12T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP033 Edmonton - Fort Edmonton Park We were enjoying were our BCPs searches were taking us today. We've never been to most of these places. This was a busy place today and parking was at a premium. We finally found a spot to park and walked over to the cap only to realize it had a cover and was in the middle of the road. We decided it might be safer to park the vehicle in front of the cap with the 4ways on. Once this was done we made a quick dash out, removed the cap and decided not to probe for the cache but take our pictures and get off the road as quickly as possible. Thankyou for bringing us to another interesting place Outforthehunt.

We parked and I walked over to the manhole cover. I did try to lift it with my finger but wasn't successful and the place was to busy to spend time kneeling on the road, so I just took the photo with the GPS visible. Thanks for the cap an a historically interesting spot ofth, much appreciated. 2014-09-01T20:00:00 Found it boombear Out with Kis Laci and the VaughnsyBear on our way to Fort Edmonton park looking for BCP033 Edmonton - Fort Edmonton park.

I enjoy looking for these and would like to say thanks to outforthehunt for the work he puts into this cache. 2014-08-05T20:00:00 Found it rat root BCP033 Edmonton-Fort Edmonton Park We where close by looking for a few caches and decided to find this cap. TFTCAP 2014-08-02T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP033 Edmonton -Fort Edmonton Park, survey cap cover on roadway. 631 metres. 2014-05-23T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv BCP033 Edmonton -Fort Edmonton Park This proved to be an interesting cap for me to find. I had parked at the south entrance to the river loop trail and decided to make the loop and pick up the caches along the way. When I got up to this cap I wasn't sure where the cap would be. I looked around a little bit before I noticed the manhole cover in the middle of the road. Not having any tools with me and the car a ways away I decided to try and get the manhole cover off with my finger. Well you could tell that no one has lifted that off for awhile because it didn't even budge. At that point a lady came up and asked if I had dropped something down there. I explained that I was just trying to get to the survey marker down there. I tried a little longer and felt the cover move a bit. Shortly after that I had it off. Then it was another check to make sure I wasn't going to get run over and down on my hands and knees to remove the dirt from around the cap. When I exposed the cap I looked around and a few people were giving me odd looks. I chuckled, snapped my pics and replaced the cover and was on my way. Thanks for an interesting cap in this cool location.

Came ill-prepared but managed to get the lid off with the tire iron I scampered back to the truck to get. Most of the vehicle traffic was pulling in to the parking lot however a couple of them had to drive around me. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_tongue.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> TFTBC! 2013-06-06T20:00:00 Found it CachingCarolandHugh BCP033 - Edmonton - Fort Edmonton Park When we got back to the parking lot from our geo-bike ride on the trails around the Fort Edmonton Park, picking up a few caches we checked the Brass Cap file on the GPS and saw that there was one only 90 meters away. It was this one - BCP033 - at the Fort Edmonton Park. Could not get any numbers off of the cap - when we lifted the cap cover, the hole was filled with water so could not even see the cap.

Previous pics helped me plan for this one by knowing that I should stop the car and keep the 4-ways flashing while I recorded the find. Apologies for the delayed log. Thanks for the cap! 2012-09-22T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP033 - Edmonton -Fort Edmonton Park Another find on a weekend of teaching at the U of A.

I found 3 in Red Deer yesterday on the drive up from Calgary to get myself set up for #100 today. After 2 nice finds earlier, I made this one the 100th. This one was fun. I thought it was going to be in the park, but noooo, it is in the middle of the road. So I pulled my truck up and blocked off the road, hit the hazards lights, and opened up the manhole. Since the park was closed, and it was a Monday, no one came by. 2012-06-04T20:00:00 Found it MKFmly BCP033 Edmonton -Fort Edmonton Park Posted Coordinates: N53° 30.227 W113° 34.254 My Phone Coordinates: N53° 30.225 W113° 34 15.256 Was down in the city for a week long course. Popped down to the fort for a few caches just to stretch the legs a little after being cooped up all day. I had a non-geocacher with me who had great mojo as they made most of the finds...grabbed this very easy cap near the deserted parking lot. Thanks for the Cap, OFTH! 2011-06-23T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP033 Fort Edmonton Park 53 30.226 113 34.255 Assisted with an over night Brownie Camp at this park many years ago. It was an experience that sure makes a person appreciate all the amenities of home in the year 1990! 2011-06-23T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP033 Fort Edmonton Park - I wouldn't want to have attempted this one on weekend ... a sure way to get run over. Early morning during the week was no problem with a deserted parking lot. 2010-11-26T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP033: Edmonton - Fort Edmonton Park With the road being freshly plowed and driven over repeatedly I had to resort to using TiE's context shot to narrow the search area before I was able to locate the manhole cover. Nice thing no one is around at this time of year to watch me wander around the middle of the road kicking at the ice. 2010-11-07T20:00:00 Found it chevyragtop BCP 033 Edmonton - Fort Edmonton Park A late fall day when there is no one around is the ideal time to find this cap. The cap is in rough shape and barely readable. TFTBC 2010-09-26T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP033 Edmonton - Fort Edmonton Park Towards the end of the day, when the sun was nearing the horizon, my wife and I entered the area glad to see that there were not too many visitors left in the parking lot. We located the cache quite quickly and when I bent down to take a closer look, a few people strolling by gave some inquisitive looks. Here I was sitting in the middle of the roadway while my wife was standing as lookout. Game on. Took a few snap-shots and headed for another further down the river valley. Thanks, The Dawntreaders 2010-07-21T20:00:00 Found it Nicole & Louis BCP033 - Fort Edmonton Park N53.30.226 W113.34.256 Elev: 631m TFTC Nicole & Louis 2010-07-02T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP033 Edmonton -Fort Edmonton Park Got the MH cover off and had to try to get the mud off the cap - I was able to get a few numbers as cars drove around me. TFTBC!!!! 2010-03-28T20:00:00 Found it Wood Walker Family BCP033 Cap was under a plate in the road...about 6" of water filled the bottom. Came back a few days later and the water had drained to reveal the marker. 2009-11-28T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP033 Edmonton -Fort Edmonton Park Posted N53° 30.227 W113° 34.254 GPSr N53° 30.230 W113° 34.254 Well this was a fun cap today. We arrived on scene and unknowingly took a wrong turn. We ended up at the gated entrance into the actual park which was open to private functions only. We asked the guard if we could loop around (and take the time to find the cap) without knowing that the cap was in the outer parking area. We finally got out of the guarded area only to have to wait for a city van to pass by. Why was the city van headed towards the empty parking lot? Why was the city van stopping right where I wanted to to find the cap? Why was a man from the city van exiting with an axe and wacking the manhole cover in the road? Why was the other man getting out a surveyor tripod? Very cool... and great timing. We stumbled across some city surveyors on the job. We were sure glad we took a wrong turn as we would have looked a little funny if we had been on site before them. In hindsight, I'm not sure we would have been able to crack that icy cover open. We approached the men, told them what we were up too and they let us grab a photo of the prize. We spoke a bit about what they were doing and they told us about some other nearby caps. Always fun to meet these guys. This was the second time we have had such a pleasure. A fun cap today and the easiest manhole covered cap yet! Thanks for the cap! 2009-11-16T20:00:00 Found it MadMother BCP033 - Edmonton - Fort Edmonton Park N53.30.227 W113.34.254 This was an interesting one and I am sure that all the cars and pedestrians that walked and drove by were wondering what on earth I found so interesting under the manhole cover. This was the last one that I found of the day.

As mentioned in previous logs & despite the fact this one is under cover, it's in horrible shape. TFTCap 2009-04-25T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP033 - Edmonton -Fort Edmonton Park Elev. 625 metres I put my traffic vest to good use on this one! It was a quiet day at the fort, so I really wasn't in danger of getting run over. I used my geopick (no, I'm not being cute -- it's a rock hammer with a pointed pick head on the reverse side) to dislodge the cover and get a look at the cap. Despite being protected in a manhole, It's not in great shape and several of the digits are no longer visible.

This thing moves so fast that we don't have time to get to it before it moves again. This was hidden on: 6/9/2002 Anywho, we got to the spot but couldn't remove the cover. Lat and long were exact but altitude was off by just under 2 metres. A Troll, a Sprite and a Rodent [last edit: 7/1/2002 6:45:27 PM PST] [last edit: 7/19/2002 3:00:12 PM PST] 2002-06-23T20:00:00 Found it MeeCachers This cache has moved three times, but my failure from a week ago was still weighing heavily on my mind - especially since later seekers had found it. I just had to go back and try to find it again. This time I drove up and the GPS led me directly to the marked manhole cover in the middle of the road. Standing on the manhole cover, I was reading about 4.5m to go. I felt really silly as I believe I likely walked over this spot last time as I was pacing distances from the lightpole immediately behind. Last time my GPS was pointing to a spot about 12m away in the middle of the grass median and I was fixated on seeking a brass cap. Anyway, good to chalk up a find, as I have been having an unusual string of no finds lately. Maybe later this week I will get a chance to go after the cap at its new location on the north side of the river. 2002-06-17T20:00:00 Found it PDOP's BCP033 Edmonton -Fort Edmonton Park In visiting for a few days and found the monument in Edmonton on Monday morning before OFTH moved it to Calgary. My waypoint was off 11 metres horizontally and 8 metres off vertically. Will post a photo once I finish off the long roll of film.

No close place to park but found some parking at the end of a walkway. Got to GZ and after a few minutes of looking spotted the obvious cap location. Afterwards we grabbed the nearby cache. 2017-04-30T20:00:00 Found it mkPerry BCP035 Sherwood Park - Replacement Continued on our cap finding today. Parked in the neighbourhood nearby and walked over. I'm sure the residents who were gathered in their front yard removing a tree wondered what we were doing parking and then coming back a short time later to only drive off. Apparently we are here to perplex people. Oh back to the cap. Using previous Context and the advantage of someone else finding it not long ago, we quickly found the divot in the ground. As it is a relatively recent one (less than 30 years old) the numbers were pretty easy to read. Thanks for another one outforthehunt. 2017-04-26T20:00:00 Found it j0ckser BCP035 Sherwood Park (Granada Blvd) Posted: N 53° 31.542 W 113° 18.525 My GPSr: N 53° 31.544 W 113° 18.528 Found with GeoGuider after she did a geocaching session in Sherwood Park tonight with a number of Pathfinders.

After finding a half dozen caches, we gathered at McDonald’s for a debrief… and then met up with j0ckser to do some capping while we’re in town. Granada Blvd was our first stop. This was an easier find than I expected. The cap itself is in pretty good condition. Thanks for the brass cap, ofth <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" />.

With our tummies satisfied and silenced, we walked over and found an area of tall, dead grass. Mr ManjaLou paced off the distance, looked around and spotted a promising divot. It delivered on that promise and the cap needed only a quick clean and photos before we were off to the next hunt just a few metres away. Thanks for another nice cap that helped guide our tour around Sherwood Park, outforthehunt! 2017-04-05T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP 035 Sherwood Pak Replacement We had stopped at a recreation centre with to eat our lunches. Afterwards we left the geovehicle there to walk to this cap. Lots of long dead grass laying on the ground here but a divot was spotted. We were surprised to find the cap 6 inches below ground level but it certainly wasn't the deepest hole we've found a BCP in..<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thankyou outforthehunt for another cap to add to our days fun with the Black Sharks 2016-10-30T20:00:00 Found it boombear BCP035 Sherwood Park - Replacement Metal detector helped a lot. Deeper than most.

I was a bit worried as it was 10 cm BGL which could make it pretty difficult to locate. Again we were using Coolcat21's context photo which helped us immensely although the grass was way taller then that shown in his photo. Finally, after decided exactly which bush was shown in his photo and estimating distance and direction we discovered the deep but narrow hole, great! I got the cap shot and we headed back to the car parked at that Recreation Center about 300 meters away. Thanks for another Sherwood Park Cap ofth, this one took us quite awhile. 2016-04-29T20:00:00 Found it chevyragtop BCP035 Sherwood Park - Replacement As I approached this one I was thinking this is a metal detector type of find and I do not have one with me. As I was looking for a possible sign of the cap luck would have it and I spotted a small divot. Yes at the bottom was the brass. Thanks for another cap. 2015-09-26T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP035 Sherwood Park - Replacement I was out this way with plans to visit the oldest cache in Alberta today and so I tried to pick up the Brass Caps in the vicinity as well.

When I got close to ground zero there was no indication anywhere of there being a cap and d'oh I left the phone in the car – it had the context shots on it. Well it was just go by memory and start sweeping with the detector. And you know, it couldn't have been two minutes before I got a promising “beep” and voila there was the cap. Gasp. I took my pics (still shaking my head in disbelief at how fast that was), gathered my tools up and walked – with a bit of strut this time – back to the car. I also made a mental note to go buy some lottery tickets.

After the County summer work crews went through picking garbage we headed for this cap. It helped to pace of the hint distances to locate this cap in the long grass.

I eventually found it by pacing off the required distance from the reference point mentioned on the cache page and then circling around a bit till I stepped in a depression; the cap was just mere inches from this hole.

Finally bit the bullet and walked the 200m or so from the rec centre back to the cap location. Struggled a lot to find this one until I finally moved a little north of where I zeroed out and found the large depression in the taller grass with the nice brass cap at the bottom of it.

We got lucky in finding it. The context shot basically showed a grassy field and that 's what we found plus some snow. Right upon reaching GZ I stepped in a depression and there was the cap. Phew! That one could have taken some time. This one is a cache and a cap 2 for 1 special as there is a micro in a tree right near the cap. Thanks for the cap! 2009-05-26T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP035 Sherwood Park - Replacement Elev. 2367 ft. The biggest problem with this cap was finding a parking spot after driveing quite a ways only to discover that there just wasn't going to be a super convenient spot anywhere.

This was our first kick at power caching and we topped our old one day record by 58 caches. We also officially found and logged our first brass cap on this trip. TNLNSL. The Good: Speed caching with new and old friends. A stupid funny blow up advertising guy who couldn’t quite stand up straight. Checking out everyone’s techno gadgets. Touring all sorts of areas I’ve never had the chance to see before. Family guy quotes on the 2 ways. 71 finds. Fyre’s birthday. The Bad: Johnny running down hill faster then his feet can carry him. Brass cap cold streaks. Mud (just ask Nika). Left turns. The Ugly: I imagine most of us the following morning.

Had a fun time finding a parking spot for this one. When I got to the coords, I quickly realized that the cap was burried under the turf.

Not because it's not there ( it IS there ) and not even because it's in someones backyard ( well ... maybe that's a good reason ) but because it is buried under the sod of the homeowner. When XRN95 and I found it we just got lucky as the sod plug was pulled out and the cap was exposed. I don't think that the homeowner would appreciated someone digging up their sod for a cap once the plug grows in. 2006-06-09T20:00:00 Found it Mr. Speedy BCP035 - Sherwood Park - Strathcona Athletic Park After nicolo and XRN95 saw it uncovered, I decided to check it out. You're right guys, you got lucky as it got covered up within 2 days! Sure enough this one is under a turf plug that had just been replaced. You can clearly see, though, where the plug covers the cap. A quick lift of the turf with a stick revealed the goods, but I couldn't take pictures of the cap. I have a nice picture of the grass plug, though. I had to explain what I was doing when some kids and their mother saw me taking pictures of their neighbour's backyard! Mr. Speedy 2006-06-07T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP035 - Sherwood Park - Strathcona Athletic Park N53° 31.529 W113° 15.688 (WGS84) Amazingly dumb luck. Driving by I saw a bunch of flagging on the back fence of the home where the cap is. We drove like mad and hustled over to the field behind the backyard of the homeowner and saw, wonder of wonders, the cap uncovered! With a little bit of leaning and some camera zooming ( love my Canon ) managed to get a couple of pics. This cap is under a grass plug and is about 3-4 inches under the sod - it's probably not going to be findable after the workers finish. 2006-06-07T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP035-Sherwood Park Strathcona Athletic Field. Wow talk about luck. Stupid luck we found this one. We were in the area looking for another cap and a cache when Nicolo just wanted to take another swing by this one. Drove by and saw a bunch of new flagging tape on the fence that he had not seen before. We walked up and looks like it was being recently used. The cap was uncovered but I dont think it will be for long. Since it is in a yard, I think its going to be very quickly covered. Nicolo snapped some pics as best he could.

The last time that I looked for this one, several months ago, the survey post was still there but I couldn't get close to the cap as there fence was already there. This time the backyard of the homeowner is landscaped and there is a tree where the survey post used to be. I poked and prodded around the tree and even brought in Old Yeller in to sniff around, nada. 2005-04-23T20:00:00 Write note nicolo BCP035 - Sherwood Park N53° 31.529 W113° 15.688 I had a go at this one but wasn't able to get to it. I first started in front of a house then realized that my GPSr was taking me behind the house. I walked around to the back, in a park and realized to my dismay that that freakin' cap is in someone's back yard, behind their chain link fence. I could clearly see the survey stake. I considered knocking on the homeowners door and asking if I could get the cap but at 9:15 at night I figgured that they may not be up for visitors. For future cap hunters I'd get this one quickly before the homeowners put sod in their backyard. 2004-10-08T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx BCP 035 N 53 31.529, W113 15.688,Sherwood Park, in what is going to be the corner of someones back yard; marked by a stake, about a meter from the fence, and, broken in half.

A pleasant stroll across the Athletic Field. Easy find. Thanks. 2002-11-09T20:00:00 Found it VE6SRV It's funny how things happen in threes... I've been procrastinating about going out and logging the Cache Cows Mystery Compound cache, and along comes a virtual cache not too far away (I've already logged that item for another totally different virtual cache) and now the Brass Cap is in the area. Three with one go! I have a little bit of a dispute with the description in the cheater... Someone doesn't know the difference between east and west. You would think that a surveyor would know that at least. I think someone made a typo... The 2 inches of new snow made this one a little tougher. I dug around for a bit, and had a look at the cheat. It took me over 20 metres away from the pin! I went back to where the GPS said to go, and lo and behold, there it was! 716.284 2002-07-21T02:00:00-06:00 BCP036 Sherwood Park by outforthehunt, Benchmark (2/1.5) http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP036.html Sherwood Park Geocache Geocache|Benchmark Sherwood Park outforthehunt outforthehunt Benchmark Virtual 2 1.5 Canada Alberta <a href='http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP036.html'TARGET='resource window'>Past Finds for BCP036</a> <a href='https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=17395&LogType=2'TARGET='resource window'>Log Your Find</a> 0.1 M SOUTH OF S.

We looked a bit ago but didn't log the DNF because we knew it should be pretty obvious but the miscellaneous freak snowstorms this spring were preventing us from finding it. Rolled up today and within literal seconds we found it, had pictures, and were off again. On the way to the BCP noticed a Peace Officer had pulled someone over for speeding (We presumed). On the way back had a chat with him across the round the gist of which was he was having a good day (as were we) and he was glad no one had run him over! The things people have to think about! We continued Our Good day onto the next BCP. Thanks outforthehunt for the last few weeks. Have really enjoyed getting all these BCPs. Would give this cache a couple more favourites if we could. 2017-04-26T20:00:00 Found it j0ckser BCP036 Sherwood Park (Oak Street) Posted: N 53° 31.707 W 113° 18.803 My GPSr: N 53° 31.705 W 113° 18.802 Found with GeoGuider after she did a geocaching session in Sherwood Park tonight with a number of Pathfinders. Oak Street was our second stop. The cap is in good condition - all numbers readable. Thanks for the cap, OFTH. 2017-04-26T20:00:00 Found it GeoGuider BCP036 Sherwood Park (Oak Street) Posted: N 53° 31.707 W 113° 18.803 My GPSr: N 53° 31.705 W 113° 18.802 GeoGuider565 and I did a geocaching session in Sherwood Park tonight with a number of Pathfinders this evening. After finding a half dozen caches, we gathered at McDonald’s for a debrief… and then met up with j0ckser to do some capping while we’re in town. Oak Street wasn’t far away so we stopped here to take a look around. This was an easy find and the cap is in great condition. Thanks for the brass cap, ofth <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. I love brass caps. 2017-04-24T20:00:00 Found it TeamDJM BCP036 Sherwood Park My GPSr - N53 31.544 W113 18.525 - Hard to read numbers partly due to the snow on the ground and also falling. Email with info sent T4TBCP TeamDJM (8738) Lethbridge Alberta 2017-04-05T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP036 Sherwood Park After DNFing a cap still in winter's grip this one was an easy find with no snow or ice around. It might even be so in the winter being beneath a spruce bough (of a rather prickly spruce tree!) and at ground level. A little bit of cleaning, pictures and we (ManjaLou and ourselves) were off for the first physical cache hunt of the day just a short walk away. It was great to find one of the three early caps placed in Sherwood Park! Thanks, outforthehunt! 2017-04-05T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP 036 Sherwood Park We were out on an another FUN geocaching adventure with the Black Sharks looking for some caps and caches. We found this one under the branches of spruce tree in good condition. We just needed to clean it up for pictures. Thankyou Outforthehunt for the BCP that added to our fun day! 2017-02-19T20:00:00 Found it Stonagal BCP036 - Sherwood Park This one wasn't too difficult. Wandered in and spotted a small depression that held the cap. Thanks! 2016-10-30T20:00:00 Found it boombear BCP036 - Sherwood Park Found tonight with the Kiwibirdman.

Thanks. 2016-08-26T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP036 Sherwood Park, 716m I see that there is a large leisure centre behind this cap. When I visited, I didn't pay any attention to anything past the cap! The spruce is continuing is growth over top of this cap. TFTH. 2016-07-19T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP036 Sherwood Park This was cap #2 for us today and thankfully it was a fairly quick find. I was using Coolcat21's summer context photo as it seemed to be the most recent and it worked well for me, thanks Cc21<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. The only delay for us was that a school bus containing 5000 kids stopped behind us to unload, preventing us from leaving. We had to wait until all 5000 had been safely unloaded before we could continue. But, what the heck, they seemed to be having a very good time, although some of their minders looked a little less enthused. Thanks for the cap ofth, I think this is the first time we have been in Sherwood Park. 2014-08-08T20:00:00 Found it Gimli*/GeoJoce BCP036 Sherwood Park 1pm I came by here a few days ago to try and find this one. Not having found a brass cap before I was not successful at the time and decided to do a little research before trying again. With a little more knowledge in hand....'may require digging!'.....I came back today. I found the marker post again and basically started digging around it....in a few minutes I found the illusive cap! Woot! Not only was I excited to find it I also was excited to manage a solo find. I've had no solo runs for about a month due to an injury. :) Thanks OFTH for an interesting virtual!! 2014-08-08T20:00:00 Found it diamonddave048 BCP036 Sherwood Park N53° 31.542 W113° 18.525 Never knew what they did.

Sundre should be proud of them as they did a great job hosting the teams and the international assessors. After dropping our international Assessors at the airport there was a time for a cap in Sherwood Park as the Henday construction forces you that way (more or less) Without the Road GPSr I circled around a couple of times before parking and heading for a walk in the park to the cache. There were many people out enjoying the afternoon and a few nice caches in the area. Eventually I got to Ground zero and found the quick cap. Now after a cap is time to settle in for the rest of the journey home. Thanks for the Cap, OFTH! 2013-08-14T20:00:00 Found it chevyragtop BCP036 Sherwood Park In the area today and found that there was a brass cap within 400m. A nice short walk to the cap and not much trouble finding it as a survey stake marked the spot. TFTBC 2013-06-17T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP036 - Sherwood Park Posted Coords: N53 31.542 W113 18.525 My GPSr: N53 31.542 W113 18.526 My Elevation: 717 m After finding parking nearby, I walked the short distance to this one and the stake announcing the fact that there was a cap at the foot of it kinda helped. This cap was embarrassed about something, being red faced and all, but I didn't want to pry. Thanks for the cap! 2012-09-07T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP036 - Sherwood Park Found this while in town teaching a class at the U of A. TFTH 2011-10-10T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP036 Sherwood Park 7:45am Used the metal detector to locate this one under its bed of pine needles. 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP036 Sherwood Park The metal detector quickly cut through the blanket of leaves and pine needles to reveal the cap. I held back the tree branches so that the Count could record the numbers off the cap. TFTCap 2010-11-12T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP036 Sherwood Park After being lead on a bit of a goose chase with the GPS'r, I decided it would be prudent just to pace of the distances referenced on the cache page... and there it was!

Found the cap just under the boughs of the tree after a short hunt. 2009-11-29T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP036 Sherwood Park Posted N53° 31.542 W113° 18.525 GPSr N53° 31.543 W113° 18.525 First cap of the day on our route from Edmonton to Calgary via Irma. Not the normal route home, but there were 15 or so caps calling out to be found and we had not travelled most of those roads before. This was the first stop of the day. The Leisure Centre was already packed, but we managed to find a parking spot and walked over to the cap GZ at the end of the building. Another quick find thanks to the context shots provided. Thanks for the cap! 2009-05-26T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP036 Sherwood Park Elev. 2356 ft. No need to post my coordinates as they matched the posted ones for the first time today. That being said, it did take me a bit of time hunting around letting the gps settle down & before I was able to eyeball this cap. TFTCap OFTH 2009-05-16T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP036 - Sherwood Park Elev. 717 metres It was early evening on a warm spring Saturday and the area was completely devoid of muggles. The cap was a nice easy find. It's in very good shape; unlike many urban caps I've seen, it's only been struck a very few times. All the digits are legible. The short hint didn't make much sense until I read the long version and then it became clear. Thanks for the nice easy drive-up cap.

Highlights of the trip include: -a whacky waving inflatable arms man....who just couldn't stand straight.

Forestrogue Fyreakida (hums to herself happy bday to me...) 2007-09-22T20:00:00 Write note forestfyre07 BCP036 ~ Sherwood Park This one was interesting to find. We had lost Plan B and crew at a light. They said they'd meet us at the cache. Took forever to find access to the park, ended up parking almost 400m away. While walking over we radio'd forest to move to a closer spot by the bridge. Met up with Johnny, they had parked same distance away, but across the park. Made what we hope was the find, found a broken bracket at the ground zero, but no cap. Split back up to head back to our cars. Hear over the radio chatter Plan B advising Johnny that he was now parked by Forest and to head back with us. A lot of cursing then ensued, as it appears he was well on his way back to the car..lol. Add that to still being n pain from his previous spills, well he didnt appear to be a happy camper..lol. one of 101 power caching on Fyre's birthday with Nika05, 70 finds of which were made with Plan-B, X-tine, and $Johnny Cache$ to introduce them to power caching.

X-tine, Johnny and I hung in for 71 caches while the others carried on for 30 more and hit their goal of 100+. This was our first kick at power caching and we topped our old one day record by 58 caches. We also officially found and logged our first brass cap on this trip. TNLNSL. The Good: Speed caching with new and old friends. A stupid funny blow up advertising guy who couldn’t quite stand up straight. Checking out everyone’s techno gadgets. Touring all sorts of areas I’ve never had the chance to see before. Family guy quotes on the 2 ways. 71 finds. Fyre’s birthday. The Bad: Johnny running down hill faster then his feet can carry him. Brass cap cold streaks. Mud (just ask Nika). Left turns. The Ugly: I imagine most of us the following morning.

I explained to him that I was involved with a ‘surveying’ activity. “Hrmph,” says he, closed the door and then continued to scrutinize my activities through the living room window until I leave. I gave him a big good-bye wave as I pulled away. I guess looking at a laptop while in a vehicle can be construed as suspicious activity by some.

Were unsuccessful last winter. 2017-04-30T20:00:00 Found it mikefromcanmore BCP037 Sherwood Park. Without the previous cachers context shot no way we would have ever found this one. We took a mighty big divot to find this one before spotting the cap. Luckily the course was still closed so we were allowed to play through. 2017-04-26T20:00:00 Found it j0ckser BCP037 Sherwood Park Posted N 53° 31.821 W 113° 18.474 GPSr N 53° 31.823 W 113° 18.479 Email and numbers sent.

After finding a half dozen caches, we gathered at McDonald’s for a debrief… and then met up with j0ckser to do some capping while we’re in town. The Golf Club wasn’t far away so we stopped here to take a look around. This was a bit tricky to find. We looked in the telltale dips and came up with nothing. J0ckser went back to the car for the metal detector… a few passes of that along with some handy dandy context photos from previous cachers and we were able to make the find. Thanks for the brass cap, ofth <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. I was doubtful about this one, but we got it. 2017-04-05T20:00:00 Didn't find it Black Shark BCP037 Sherwood Park We made the find of the physical cache across the street then walked over to try our luck here: a second cap DNF this morning while out on the season's first road trip with ManjaLou. The golf course was not open yet but we were still a bit uneasy searching although staff ignored us. This was the first time, but not the last, that our minimal preparation time was a disadvantage. With more information we would have come prepared with a metal detector. Without it our search was not very aggressive and all that our probings found was a metal tee box marker. Off to a bit of a slow start this morning, but off nonetheless! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2016-10-30T20:00:00 Didn't find it boombear BCP037 - Sherwood Park Two of us looked long and hard. For this one. The grass is pretty well manicured here. I could be wrong but there may be sod on top of this one. Our metal detector had a couple of blips but we'd require a shovel to look deeper. Oh well. 2016-10-30T20:00:00 Didn't find it Kiwibirdman BCP037 - Sherwood Park Tried our best tonight with a metal detector and reference photos and we got a couple pings. Unfortunately being in a golf course this cap has probably been sodded over a few times. No reason to believe that it's not here but it hasn't been found in three years. 2016-08-26T20:00:00 Didn't find it EdgeMonks BCP037 Sherwood Park This one hasn't been found in a few years. I did a bit of sweeping with a metal detector (sound off) and a little half-hearted poking with a small shovel, but nothing too aggressive. I left after a brief search to let the golfers get on with teeing off. 2013-09-14T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP037 - Sherwood Park Once again a cap that I have visited more than once, but this time with success. A grounds crew member inquired what I was doing and I explained. He asked that I not dig, but he confirmed there was "some sort of marker thing" there. I then confirmed with my probe and was able to feel the brass disk which was only a centimeter or so under cover in the depression. TFTH 2011-10-10T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP037 Sherwood Park 7:30am FORE!!! Got an early start and was able to slip onto the green before anyone had arrived. Found the obvious divot but used the metal detector to confirm before starting to excavate:0 Moved aside maybe a cm of dirt, polished the cap as best we could for its photo, tamped the ground and headed back out. 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP037 Sherwood Park All we had to do was be up before the golfers to get this one. Armed with metal detector, flash light and headlamp we got the cap at 7:30 am, long before the golfers even had their morning coffee. Carefully restored the sod so that some golfer doesn't get blamed for not filling in his divit. TFTCap 2010-11-12T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP037 Sherwood Park This one took a long time to find... glad it wasn't open season on the golf course today... at least I could look in peace.

TFTC!!!! 2010-04-23T20:00:00 Write note DanOCan BCP037: Sherwood Park I won't call this a DNF because I didn't get within 100m of the cap -- way too many people milling around the cap location to mount any sort of hunt. Some other time, I hope! 2009-11-29T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP037 Sherwood Park Posted N53° 31.821 W113° 18.474 GPSr N53° 31.823 W113° 18.475 My hat is off to all those who found this during the day in golf season. The cap is right at the 10th tee box. Today the action in the area centred around kids and parents entering the nearby hockey arena but of course no one near the cap GZ. We again had vdD's context shot and immediately noted a depression in the snowy ground. We cleared a bit of the depression and nothing. We began brushing snow in a large area and still no sign of the cap. I'm sure this was to the curiosity and amusement of nearby hockey dads taking a smoke break. Out came the metal detector and after several passes still nothing. The tee box was covered with a tarp but we were sure the cap was in the area we swept. I pulled out the chisel and probed the initial depression one more time and saw brass. How did we miss that the first time??? We took the required photos and moved on chuckling at our ineptitude. Thanks for the cap! 2009-05-26T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP037 Sherwood Park Elev. 2365 ft. The skies were threatening to burst open at any time but taking the same approach as the golfers around here I ignored that & just carried on with my activities making the find after a brief hunt. TFTCap 2009-05-16T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP037 - Sherwood Park Elev. 717 metres A warm Saturday evening in spring is probably not the best time to go after this cap. Still, I was here, the cap was there and things just sort of went from there. I walked in like I had a perfect right to and spotted a small depression in the grass. A quick compass sweep confirmed the spot and after a bit of furtive excavation (what is this, the first tee???) I'd uncovered enough of the cap to read the numbers and I was out of there. I doubt anyone even looked twice at me, but I still had the feeling that I had this big neon sign on my back flashing INTRUDER! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for the cap that required all my powers of invisibility. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2009-01-19T20:00:00 Found it dronnord BCP 037 53 31.821 113 18.474 My GPSr 2007-08-21T20:00:00 Found it PDOP's BrassCap BCP037 Sherwood Park A cool windy morning so not many duffers on the tee.

I did a quick visit earlier and the GPSr kept taking me right along the fence and I came up with nothing. I thought I’d do a second visit later in the afternoon only to be met with a couple of die-hard duffers swacking their balls down the fairway. This time, the infernal GPSr got me right on the money. Go figure. My first time to see one of these covers and thought about seeing what was beneath it but it would leave too big a divot in the frozen ground.

This time, it was a little more difficult to search as there were lots of golfer muggles at hole #10. I sat at the picnic table waiting for an opportunity... A foursome left... Then two more golfer showed up, then another one... At waited some more... One of them came over to ask me if I was playing with them. I said I was just taking a break... At some point I got up and did my thing trying not to look too suspicious. They didn't seem to mind my presence. Fortunatly, I found it quickly this time. This one is in a deep depression! If you walk on it, you should notice the hole! I took obligatory picture and took off. No questions asked! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Mr. Speedy 2005-08-21T20:00:00 Found it Stig Figger BCP037 - Sherwood Park, Broadmoor Public Golf Course Tried to avoid making a scene here near the tee for hole #5, but no-one really seemed to notice us...helps to have two kids with you I guess.

My big spud even found a curious dimpled orb in the parking lot as a souvenir...I hope no-one was looking for it!

Imasham, how come you didn't read the numbers off the pin? You just have to stick your face in the water and open your eyes... I'll tell you the numbers if you email me! I was going to go out last night and bag this one, but my camera was still at work. I took heed of the advice given, and wore my rubber boots for this cache. I was only standing in about 1 inch of water, but with the pin 2 inches below grade, it will take a few days before the pin will be dry. 2003-04-10T20:00:00 Found it Imasham It was fairly easy once I realized the cap was under water!

Unfortunately, someone has used this location as a garbage dump. The cap itself is easily decipherable. Each Brass Cap is a bonus, I have enjoyed finding caps over the last month so much! Wish I had paid more attention earlier. 2016-12-01T20:00:00 Found it mkPerry BCP038-Edmonton Walked from downtown to this one over lunch. Made for a good hike.

Thanks. 2016-08-30T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP038 Edmonton I have considered looking for this cap on other trips Mrs BVPete and I have made to Edmonton, but to tell you the truth the complicated interchange that has to be navigated to get in here scared me away. It sort of looks like someone threw down a bunch of spaghetti and then figured out what to do with it, including some afterthoughts about access to the little old community by the river. Anyways today we came down Scona and used the afterthought access to get into the community. The cap was, thankfully a quick find, with all the survey tape tied above it in the trees. Anyway I got the data and we left the are via the afterthought access and ended up right where we wanted to be, in the Muttart Conservatory's parking lot! So, I guess once you are used to it that interchange is not so bad after all. Thanks for the cap ofth. 2016-07-03T20:00:00 Found it WillowZilla BCP038 - Edmonton I'd come to the area for caching, not realizing this guy was here, I find one other, and bam it seems i'm spitting distance from this guy. Great condition cap, flagging tape leading to GZ, quick one today. 2015-08-08T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP038 Edmonton On a previous visit ground zero was heavily covered with petals from the caragana bushes. Without a rake, metal detector or a lot of time a search was rather pointless. Since I had none of those I scuffed about briefly then consoled myself with the knowledge that caps are comparatively muggle proof! It would wait for me. Today I deployed the metal detector--I've been looking for excuses to use it and time hasn't allowed for near enough. Coming from a different direction I made my way towards the original spot but the GPS firmly informed me that I needed its guidance and nudged me to a different trajectory. (I don't know why it didn't feel as helpful the first time.) I looked over and spotted the cap, fully exposed with one small curled up caragana leaf leaning up against it. Less than a foot away is a flagged stake. Angle can make all the difference, especially when foliage is involved; the flagging on the bushes may lead you towards the cap, but it's the stake less than a foot west of the BCP that counts. The cap has a few marks but is clearly readable. A couple of nearby plastic lawn chairs suggest that someone comes to enjoy this place. There's not a sweeping view of the river; it would be much better when the leaves are gone. I did see a jet boat go by while I was there. Perhaps the chair users come to get out of the house, enjoy the smell of the caragana flowers and listen to the wind, birds and seed pods popping open. I wonder if a seed has ever landed in the little divot in the centre of the cap? Thanks, outforthehunt, for the cache and the cap along the path of my travels today. 2015-07-10T20:00:00 Found it Kiwibirdman BCP038 - Edmonton Found this evening on a walk.

I thank him for that. As he mentioned, the cap is obviously popular these days given the stakes and flagging tape in the area. Thanks for the cap and excuse to soak up some much needed vitamin D! 2011-04-10T20:00:00 Found it chevyragtop BCP038 Edmonton Found on a beautiful spring morning.

We found a spot (not far from a previous cap parking spot) that appeared to be legal assuming the lawn signs meant no parking on the lawn. From there it was less than 200m to the cap with a quick stop for a well hidden ammo can to boot. Man there are a lot of great parks in this city with great path systems. Got to come back with the bikes in the summer. Thanks for the cap!

I added some more right around the cap, just in case there was any question where it is. The cap is in great shape and all the digits are quite legible, although the surface does have quite a few small marks on it. I'm sure they couldn't be due to the red ants in the vicinity, though they certainly left a few marks on me, ouch!

I didn't really know what I was looking for. I went back there today and found it quickly. This time it's surrounded by three wooden stakes and there are plenty of flagging tape to help locate it. I'll post pictures tonight. Nicolo, mee too I can sleep at night now that I know I REALLY found it.

Unfortunately my battery for my camera died, before I got there. TFTH GPSVIXEN 2004-09-09T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx BCP038, 96 ave cap. I was in a perfect spot to spectate the Army 'Mountain Man' competition, as the cap was mere meters from the river valley pathway. These guys and girls-the toughest in the brigade, some of them friends- put themselves through the ringer: a 16 km forced march with a 55 lb pack, a 4km canoe portage, an 8 km paddle down the North Saskatchewan, then a final burst of 8km forced marching.[All they need is some waypoints, a final cache and GPSs and they could be geocachers from hell<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_tongue.gif" border="0" align="middle" />] Didn't need Mr Silva Ranger for this one, and am certainly glad that my forced marching days are over. 2004-09-03T20:00:00 Found it LoomaLander [BCP038 Edmonton Elevation 628m I trolled around for a while and finally found it ... without the benefit of the clues provided by OFTH ...

Don VE6DKS 2002-04-24T20:00:00 Found it VE6SRV Stopped by tonight on the way home from work. I wandered around the area digging into the dead grass like a fool, while my coworker, Will, looked at me like I was crazy. There I am, climing around the underbrush digging up dead grass while trying to explain exactly what a Brass Cap is, and why I am looking for it to a guy that speaks Spanish. Pretty soon, he's standing on the bicycle path telling his roommates that he's going to be late getting home because the guy he's getting a ride from is 'loco'! With my wife at home with a Roast Beef dinner getting cold, and my coworker shaking his head at me, I decide enough is enough, time to abandon the search. Will pipes up, Here comes your buddy! Uh-oh, Donald is here... I can't leave and let him find it before me! The hunt is back on! We confer about coordinates, check the hint, and resume the search. Ten minutes later, Donald is accusing me of playing decoy to keep him from finding the cache! What a guy, I am disheartened by his lack of trust in me... And then, there it is! A little rubbing away the dirt, and the secret numbers are revealed! Will is called over to show him the object of our search. He peers down at the 2 1/2 inch disk, shakes his head and mutters a disparaging remark about our maternal ancestry in Spanish! ¿Tu madre tiene niños que sobrevivieran?

This could be the oddest cap experience I've had. I don't know what was going on but when I pulled in there were a lot of people dressed up in animal costumes walking around. I parked beside a guy using the power outlet for a block heater as his laptop charger and just kind of watched. All these people were walking around in these animal costumes and getting their pictures taken by what appeared to be professional photographers. I looked to where I thought the cap would be and it looked like it was where they had a tent set up. I was already regretting the conversation that I was going to have with one of the "horses" or "unicorns" explaining how I needed a shot on this survey monument for control for a survey I was doing and the further explanation that I might have. Oh well, so I started to walk over thinking about this conversation, avoiding any animal contact when I noticed that my GPS was pointing on the side of the gazebo that their tent wasn't on. What a relief, went over snapped my pics and left. I'm still not sure what was going on but they were having a lot of fun and it was a good day for it. Thanks for the cap with the great view.

When I walked up the cap and concrete pad were sitting above the snow. Something was going on at Government House but the cap was in a nice quiet location. On the way back to the car got the pleasure of meeting a very friendly labrador. Overall a nice way to spend a lunch break.

The public parking lot are open but I seemed simpler to park here that thread my way through all those big machines. It was a short walk over to the cap by the totem pole and the nearby cap needed no clean up at all. Jack wasn't allowed in this park so he and Mrs BVPete waited at the top of the trail that would lead us down the hill to the other two caps. Thanks for posting this cap ofth, this is a fascinating place to visit. 2015-05-03T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP039 - Edmonton Museum of Alberta We were running late and needed to get back to Calgary, but I managed to find this brass cap as we made our way to our final cache of the day.

We didn't even need to brush it off. We wandered the area a bit taking in the views on the Museum grounds and of the river valley. The glorious fall day that we'd enjoyed so much along the North Saskatchewan was coming to an end and a heavy cloud bank in the west was going to cut short the last light of the day. It was time to forget the caches and caps that we hadn't had time for (we knew we had come prepared for more than we could do) and be happy for what we accomplished and the fun had. Thanks, outforthehunt, for the last cap and cache of the day in an excellent location.

Glad to be able to enjoy a nice day outside with fall in full effect. His new metal detector came in handy several times. Made for an epic day. TFTBCPS.

Took some photos of the totem and the pagoda and then took a look over the edge of the hill toward the two caps down below. Walk down or drive all the way around? When I was reminded that 'walk down' also comes with the added 'walk back up', the decsion to drive was unnanomous.

It was pretty quiet on this holiday Monday and I really enjoyed looking over the Korean pavilion and the tasteful totem pole nearby; part of the pole made its way onto the cap shot itself but while that face looks a bit sad, I was actually happy to find the cap, which is in great shape. Thanks for luring me here! 2010-09-17T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP039 Edmonton Museum of Alberta Took a few minutes to catch my breath after having come at this one from down below.

Geo BCP039 - Edmonton Another nice easy find after climbing that dratted hill. Whew! Took me a bit to catch my breath. TFTC. 2005-03-08T20:00:00 Found it PDOP's BCP039 Edmonton Parked at the Provincial Museum for a nice short walk to this one. It was hiding under a little bit of slush but was easily exposed for a photo op. This ones a little banged up but still readable. Onto BCP092 from here. 2004-10-11T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx Prior to the Big Feast at Baba's, I picked up this one-BCP039, on Richmond Road, just up the road from my inlaws. TFTH!! 2003-11-16T20:00:00 Write note Tommi Potx Again, late with this one from Edmonton. 2003-10-21T20:00:00 Found it ChiefPig Elevation: 666m. BCP039 in Edmonton. Published coordinates: N53 32.460' W113 32.561 Nice sunny day in Edmonton. My GPS accuracy was around 5m. My GPSr was off by 4m. So even though the brass cap was in plain sight, it still took me a few minutes to find it <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The brass cap is in good condition. I was actually able to read the numbers for a change <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I will email the details shortly. Great views from the brass cap location. I will post the pics when I get home tonight. TFTH! 2002-07-01T20:00:00 Found it TrollGRG This is NOT for the Entrance cache. This thing moves around so fast that we find it hard to keep up. As soon as I get notice of a new one I download the info but do not get into the city very often. Anywho, this was posted on 6/22/2002. Lat and Long were just about exact but my altitude differed by about 3 metres. A Troll, a Sprite and a Rodent. [last edit: 7/1/2002 6:29:48 PM PST] [last edit: 7/19/2002 3:01:03 PM PST] 2002-06-27T20:00:00 Found it schon Got it.. this one was pretty simple - a rabbit led us to it! (We saw a him hop into the bushes, and followed him.. when we got where he was, we were standing almost right on top of the cache.) 2002-06-23T20:00:00 Found it Waggadventurers Easy find, once I figured out which institution it was at -- from my home, I could think of 3 public lands that fit the bill, though I wasn't sure what the picture had to do with any of them. As I drove by them with the GPS pointing me ahead, I figured it out. Standing on the cement pad, under a storm cloud, our Etrex Venture was reading 53.32.458 and 113.32.556.

Our first find was one of the easiest we've done. The cap is sitting on another metal plate embedded in the concrete ramp. Thanks outforthehunt for all the BCPs and the fun I've had over the last couple weeks getting most of the ones in the Edmonton area. 2017-05-06T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP040 Edmonton Seeing Gimli*/GeoJoce's context shot showing his vehicle it's funny that Mr Shark just as unintentionally parked in exactly the same spot on the same day! What are the neighbours thinking! We spotted the cap immediately and only looked for the arrow after. That's when Mr Shark claimed he'd parked there on purpose. Uh huh. He just didn't get stopped quick enough that Mrs Shark could have captured this cap without leaving the vehicle. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> We enjoyed the view across to the treed hillside and noted how green the nearby tamaracks are getting. With the end of winter's last snowy grip on us (hopefully) followed by a few hot, summery days the trees have moved quickly to catch up what they'd begun before winter returned. Thanks for another nicely chosen cap, ofth. 2017-05-06T20:00:00 Found it Gimli*/GeoJoce BCP040 Edmonton My 4th cap of the day and I did so hope that WillowZilla's orange arrow was still there to point the way. :) Longer searches today and I wanted a quick one. Well, I was lucky indeed. Orange arrow still good and my parking spot couldn't have been better if I planned it. lol TFTBC and the quick one! 2017-04-28T20:00:00 Found it WillowZilla BCP040 - Edmonton I was heading to my parents place to pick up Thing 2 from a sleepover with Grandma, the gps was on virtuals only and attracted me to the fact that i was passing within 100m of a cap. So why not stop, amazingly when i park, im at 1 m and my gps shot was at 0. Easiest cap find yet, which was awesome since i was on a time budget :) 2017-04-23T20:00:00 Write note mkPerry BCP040 Edmonton Grabbing a few more BCPs today. The snow last night made it much tougher. Thankfully the orange arrow that someone had marked on the curb was still there. Made for a quick find. Thanks outforthehunt for another BCP. 2016-08-30T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP040 Edmonton This was a quick find indeed, it was very helpful to have a big yellow arrow on the curb pointing to the cap only a foot or so away. I was starting to think that we were on a roll today finding every cap on our list, however that would soon change as we DNF'ed the next cap <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_sad.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. We acquired the data and reversed our route out of the neighbourhood and headed east across Wayne Gretzky Drive to the Fulton area.

What a wonderful day to go out and try out the new metal detector j0ckser got for his birthday. BCP040 is just overlooking Wayne Gretzky drive on 104A avenue, just off 74 street. Great view of the freeway from here! This one was an easy find without the metal detector. The bright orange paint on the curb is faded. As a matter of fact, it’s so faded that we didn’t notice it until we’d found the cap. But the cap is in very good condition. Thanks for the cap OTFH. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2015-10-22T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP040 Edmonton Out exploring the river valley on the east side of downtown and picking up a few caps along the way, TFTC! 2014-09-20T20:00:00 Found it Kiwibirdman BCP040 Edmonton Quick one today!

Thanks for the cap! 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP040 Edmonton All caps should have big colourful arrows pointing to the exact location. So much easier this way. TFTCap (and to the surveyor who did the arrow) 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP040 Edmonton 12:14pm Tip to fellow cachers, look for the big surveyors arrow pointing to this one:) 2011-05-29T20:00:00 Found it plmy BCP040 Edmonton 2010-11-26T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP040: Edmonton I had looked at the previous logs so I knew the key to finding this one was finding the arrow painted on the curb. The road had been plowed so I had to clear a pile of snow to find the curb. Fortunately I only had to clear about five feet of curb before I found the arrow and the cap was found shortly thereafter. 2010-10-15T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP040 Edmonton Once again I find a mark that leads me to the cap. This time an arrow showed me the way. Thanks, The Dawntreaders 2010-09-18T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP040 - Edmonton Finally a flush cap that was no problem.

These caps in the grass can be tricky but that wasn't the case here, a very quick find & it was off to hunt for more. TFTCap 2009-05-16T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP040 - Edmonton Elev. 658 metres I saw the arrow on the curb, and there was the cap. I'd say they don't come much easier than that, but later on in the day I did a few caps that were visible from 500 metres away! The cap was still nicely exposed from EdgeMonks recent find. The cap surface is a bit marked up but all the digits are still legible. Thanks for the easy drive-up cap. 2009-05-13T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP040 - Edmonton, 641 metres Today was a beautiful spring day for capping in Edmonton.

They stepped on it as they got out of their truck, but it still took us a few minutes to realize it..lol one of 101 power caching on Fyre's birthday with Nika05, 70 finds of which were made with Plan-B, X-tine, and $Johnny Cache$ to introduce them to power caching. Highlights of the trip include: -a whacky waving inflatable arms man....who just couldn't stand straight. Much laughter was spent over the 2ways on that one! -playing frogger on edmonton and sherwood parks roads, when the drivers dropped the runners off, and the runners ahd to make it bck across busy roads -family guy quotes on the 2 ways. -fyre wtching johnny tumble head over heels down a steep slope and almost doing the same thing herself -nika almost losing his shoe to evil sherwood park mud, then getting in our vehicle covered in it. :) -it was fyre's 23 birthday...what better way than to spend it caching with friends old and new. -getting beat out on an ftf that had been sitting there for a few days...by half an hour :( -the spruce trees weren't in attack mode this trip,in fact wefound some nice surprises in them. Our faith in them has been restored..yay! Thanks to everyone who's caches we found today. it was an absolute blast and epic day for us. Forestrogue Fyreakida (hums to herself happy bday to me...) 2007-09-22T20:00:00 Found it Plan - B BCP040 - Edmonton 12:54 Found on a power caching trip with X-tine, Johnny Cache, Forestrogue, Fyreakida and Nika. X-tine, Johnny and I hung in for 71 caches while the others carried on and hopefully hit their goal of 100+. This was our first kick at power caching and we topped our old one day record by 58 caches. We also officially found and logged our first brass cap on this trip. TNLNSL. The Good: Speed caching with new and old friends. A stupid funny blow up advertising guy who couldn’t quite stand up straight. Checking out everyone’s techno gadgets. Touring all sorts of areas I’ve never had the chance to see before. Family guy quotes on the 2 ways. 71 finds. Fyre’s birthday. The Bad: Johnny running down hill faster then his feet can carry him. Brass cap cold streaks. Mud (just ask Nika). Left turns. The Ugly: I imagine most of us the following morning.

TFTBCP. Find #150! 2005-08-16T20:00:00 Found it Mr. Speedy BCP040 - Edmonton I came here before but couldn't not find it. This time it was easy as nicolo and ibycus found it on the weekend. Apparently this one suffered territory marking land slide, but after the two days of rain that we just received, everything was all good! TFTC. Mr. Speedy 2005-08-14T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP040 ( Edmonton ) N53° 32.873 W113° 26.488 First of 12 caches that I found ( ibycus found a bit more ) while on Edmonton Raid #2 with ibycus and QuantumLeaper. This was a hilarious cache today. We needed Old Yeller on this and I swept it over a spot that ibycus had looked at just a tad earlier and that QuantumLeaper had helped dig at a bit ... got it! So we did took a few quick pics and started to drive away. As we were doing so a man and dog were walking by the cap and the dog must have smelled that QuantumLeaper had just been there so he ... ummm ... marked his territory. Cap finders may want to wait for a cleansing rain before going for this one! [This entry was edited by nicolo on Sunday, August 14, 2005 at 8:47:33 PM.] 2005-08-14T20:00:00 Found it QuantumLeaper BCP040 My first cap find. Horray! Nicolo uncovered the cap, then I saw trouble comming, so I thought I'd better cover it back up again. Unfortunately my two legged friends didn't understand what the problem was, so they uncovered it again. As we left the cap, an Edmonton puppy approached the cap, and well, I'll let nicolo tell the rest of the story. 2005-08-14T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP040 This was our first find on the final day of the Edmonton cache raid. I poked at this one earlier, but concluded that it was just a rock, so went to look somewhere else. Nicolo pulled out old yeller, and zeroed in on the cap pretty quickly. Left the cap nicely exposed for the next finder. 2004-09-18T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx BCP 40, overlooking Capilano / Gretzky Way, found with the help of Mr Silva Ranger. 942.603 2003-02-27T01:00:00-07:00 BCP042 Edson by outforthehunt, Benchmark (1.5/2) http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP042.html Edson Geocache Geocache|Benchmark Edson outforthehunt outforthehunt Benchmark Virtual 1.5 2 Canada Alberta <a href='http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP042.html'TARGET='resource window'>Past Finds for BCP042</a> <a href='https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=17395&LogType=2'TARGET='resource window'>Log Your Find</a> 0.6 M S OF C/L E-W POWER LINE 20.5 M WEST OF THE SOUTH EAST CORNER OF CHURCH PROPERTY; 21.9 M NORTH OF CENTRE LINE OF HIGHWAY #748; 4.7 M EAST OF FACE OF WALK IN CHURCHYARD ; 0.6 M SOUTH OF CENTRE LINE OF AN EAST WEST POWER LINE; ON AN EAST/WEST HIGHWAY.

I've never actually come across anyone USING a cap when I have been hunting for them! And the surveyor even showed up 5 seconds after I did! I told him I needed the numbers off the cap & hopefully I wasn't going to get in his way. He was done & taking down his equipment, so it worked out. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> It was nice to get out to find a few caches today, since we were waiting on a drill rig switch. The rig wasn't expected out on site for a few hours, so I had plenty of time to cache! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> TFTCap!! 2014-08-14T20:00:00 Found it Kayakate I am working in Edson for a few weeks, and work in the survey industry.

It was quiet out here and the mountains looked awesome tonight - unfortunately my phone died just after taking the picture of the cap. Older Foster Bro 2011-10-08T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP042 Edson We were so close to this one on our last trip through here, we were actually out of our vehicle and heading toward the obvious ground post. And then a mighty flash of lightning and clap of thunder that was close enough to have our safety senses kick in and we observed the metal flag post, the tallest tree and the power lines right in proximity to the cap. From a pure science application it appeared that it would not be wise to continue. From a purely spiritual application, we also noted that the nearby church was not our denomination and we didn't know who the big guy was aiming for that day. But today, the sun was shining and the fears of re-melting the aluminum canoe to my head had past and we were successful. TFTCap. 2011-10-08T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP042 Edson 1:25pm This should be an easy cap, it IS an easy cap, unless of course there is lightening. The first time we tried for this one the lightening in the area was pretty intense and we decided that standing so close to a flag pole, a large electrical pole, as well as a tall spruce tree was maybe not prudent. Then of course, there is the small issue of Mr. CanoeHead's misadventures in Algonquin Park - 'nuf said. Today, with lovely autumn weather, and clear azure skies it was indeed a quick cap. 2011-05-29T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP042 - Edson Posted Coords: N53 35.961 W116 24.590 My GPSr: N53 35.961 W116 24.593 Posted Elevation: 943 m My Elevation: 942 m I'm very glad I parked on the secondary rode because the road closer to this cap is really busy.

A little digging and i'd revealed the cap, all exposed for the next few till the grass grows over it again. :) 2015-06-23T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP 046 Edmonton I had to use the compass for this one although the existing context photos sure cut down on the amount of ground that I had to scan. I dug it out, took the photo and we were off for one more to make it an even 20 on the day. Thanks for the cap ofth. 2014-09-18T20:00:00 Found it Kiwibirdman BCP046 Edmonton Found today after work.

Poked around with a screw driver and found it below a couple inches of soil. Used trowel to carefully remove a circle of sod, only to discover that I was uncovering a rock. Replaced the grass, poked around again, and found the cap next to it. Removed an inch of soil, and there it was. It's about 15 inches north along a line from the sidewalk to the end of the fence and perpendicular with the sidewalk side of the nearby wooden post. As I was doing this, a young kid was driving out of control on a moped, dragging another kid behind him. The other kid finally got off as the driver continued straight towards me at a fast speed. I moved behind the wooden post just as the moped driver passed by and wiped out. He was okay, but the fallen kid was crying. A mother came to the rescue. I wiped the dirt off the cap and took my pictures. 2013-06-08T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP046 Edmonton MyGPSr: N53 38.248 W113 30.260 Elevation: 687 m Like most of my other finds today, the context shot(s) of former finders was crucial to me being able to zero in on ...ground... zero (bit of an Austen Powers moment there). At first I guessed at a few spots by probing with the screwdriver – no success. Then I decided to walk all the way back to the parked car, 4 m away, to get the metal detector. With that tool, I was able to get a BEEP in about 10 seconds and after a couple of probes, voila, the cap! Thanks for the cap! 2013-06-08T20:00:00 Found it craigarnold BCP046 - TFTCap 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP046 Edmonton This was our last cap of a day of capping and caching that started before sunrise.

The GPS'r kept dragging me off to the other side of the street. Finally I got so frustrated that I called upon a young lady who had an IPOD with a compass to at least give me an indication as to which direction north was. We then came to an agreement as to what was meant by the hint on the cache page. She helped with the search for a few minutes and then decided she had better move along; there was a time-clock ticking with her name on it somewhere. After she pulled away it was only but a few seconds and I heard the sweet clink of steel on brass. Gotcha! The grass had nicely overgrown the cap the keep it well-hidden from prying eyes. Thanks, The Dawntreaders 2010-09-11T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP046 - Edmonton The area maps were not on all of my GPSr's and they were telling me different ways to get here. 2010-07-23T20:00:00 Found it Nicole & Louis BCP046 - Edmonton N53.38.248 W113.30.261 Elev: 680m TFTC Nicole & Louis 2010-07-03T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP046 Edmonton Another quick and clean find.

There was a considerable amount of traffic tonight so it was well after dark before we arrived on scene. Again armed with vdD's context shot, I was able to zero in on the cap quite quickly and took the required photos using the Oregon camera and my headlamp (my main camera is still out of service). Last cap of a nice, albeit cool day in the capital. Thanks for the cap hunts OFTH. Now what route shall we take home tomorrow? I think Edmonton to Calgary via Irma might be a good not often travelled route between the two cities. 2009-08-10T20:00:00 Found it leawelter BCP046 A quick find on a trip to Edmonton. 2009-06-22T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP046 Edmonton A quickly located cap in a nice new area of town.

The cap is below ground and covered with grass, but this time, while searching for it, I stepped on something hard and there it was! We just had to pull back the packed dirt and grass for the photo. We left it somewhat uncovered so the next cap hunters might have an easier time than us when we tried the first time. Mr. Speedy's parade 2005-08-14T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP046 ( Edmonton ) N53° 38.248 W113° 30.259 11th of 12 caches that I found ( ibycus found a bit more ) while on Edmonton Raid #2 with ibycus and QuantumLeaper. Yes! The last time that we were here, on raid #1, we were unable to find this one. I think that it was the only cap that we couldn't find. I blame XRN95 and New Direction for dragging ibycus and I down! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> This time, with the help of Old Yeller, it wasn't too bad of a find. Using the hint we estimated the location of the cap and got Old Yeller sniffin'. In a few sweeps, Eureka! Yeah!

Using the hint and Old Yeller we found the cap pretty quickly this time, guess New Direction's and XRN95's magnetic personality got in the way last time.

We found this cap while we were in the Whitecourt area attending the 3 events there this past weekend - 'Get Cratered - Random Camping' by "Viajero Perdido"; 'Meteorite Ground Zero - Getting Cratered' by "rat root" and 'Already Cratered - Hard Luck Falls' by "Team Viper". We see that there is another cap in Whitecourt and the new one near Hard Luck Falls - two reasons to bring us back to this area.

Thanks for the cap. 2010-10-16T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP048 Bonnyville Posted N54° 16.072 W110° 44.934 GPSr N54° 16.072 W110° 44.935 We decided to take a detour up to Cold Lake from Vermilion and overnight before heading home tomorrow. We did a little caching along the way and this easy sidewalk cap ended up being cache # 4,000 for us. What a great 2 1/2 years this has been. Many of our brass cap outings have been the most memorable of these. Thanks again for continuing this brass cap cache OFTH. It's great fun! 2010-08-07T20:00:00 Found it rat root BCP 048 Bonnyville Very quiet this afternoon on main street. 2010-07-28T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP048 Bonnyville Found at N54 16.074 W110 44.935 Elevation 546 M Can't miss it in downtown Bonnyville. Woohoo! 2500th smilie. Thanks for the cap. Bearberry and The Cub. 2010-07-10T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP048 - Bonnyville Elev. 552 metres Bonnyville wasn't exactly bustling on this sunny Saturday afternoon, and so I was able to park right by the cap. As others have reported, the cap is now flush with the sidewalk and not 20 cm below a manhole. There's no sign of the steel collar visible in the older shots, but it's possible that it's just under the asphalt that filled the hole and now surrounds the cap. The cap itself is in pretty good shape for an urban cap, with only minor tool marks on its surface. The only potential problem I can think of that you might have finding this cap would be if you came in winter and it was buried beneath a snowbank. Other than that it should be an easy find. Thanks for the brass cap. On to Cold Lake! 2010-05-24T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP048 Bonnyville Posted: N54° 16.072 W110° 44.934 GPSr: N54° 16.071 W110° 44.935 (+/- 2.3m) The cap apparently has been moved to the top of the manhole cover at ground level.

I turned at this intersection multiple times each day because I was staying down the road east of the intersection. Every time I stared at this cap on my GPS but hadn't stopped yet. I was on my way to the geocoin event and decided to stop. I parked nearby and made the short walk over, found the deep hole and the cap. On my way back to the car a police officer drove by slow. As I got in and started driving they turned around and came and parked where I had been. I guess they wanted to check out if I was doing something wrong. Nice spot for a brass cap.

Holy Moly you sure fired up some memories here. The cap was buried pretty deep so I would NOT try for this one in the winter unless you really wanted to do a work out.I think I did find a number on it. These caps do not stand up well to numerous ground axe, picks and shovels, digging,striking and cleaning. This was it for me. It was getting late now.

I got lucky though because, ROTC, got there before me and had the cap loose already. I couldn't make out the actual cap either though, due to the mud. Good day! [This entry was edited by DungeonKeeper on Monday, June 27, 2005 at 5:17:26 AM.] 2003-07-31T20:00:00 Found it ROTC Not to hard to find the water valve cap. It was a chore to get the cap off. I had to go and get a pick to pry the cap off. I then found out that the marker must be at the bottom of the hole. After digging out about 4 inches of mud I could feel the marker, but could not see it from above.

This took a bit to get to, but thanks to the CO of a nearby (very old) cache we had the right road to start the trek. Luckly someone moved the big cement block at the end of the semi paved road and we were able to drive a little further into the field. Then dodging dirt bikes, a short walk, to some heavy bushwacking. Thankfully this was on a cement block and was easy to spot.

Elevation: 963m It was a nice little walk over to this one, long enough to bring my walking stick along which turned out to be useful when navigating around a couple of the water filled ruts on the way to the cap. The cap was found quickly, as its hard to miss ensconced in a concrete block. After the finding the cap a older cache very close by, I took in the views at a viewpoint not far away. Thanks for bringing me up to this cool (well hot temperature wise today!) spot. 2012-07-08T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP051 Beaverlodge Posted: N55° 13.967 W119° 18.415 GPSr: N55° 13.964 W119° 18.419 What a neat walk along Saskatoon Mountain today. The views at the various points were quite nice. The trail was pretty dry today except in the deeper ruts. As we approached GZ we spotted a reference cap AGL near GZ. We stayed with the GPSr and it soon led us to the real cap cemented in a concrete pedestal nearby. Very nice. Now to go find that 11 year old cap that went missing.

I was able to follow ATV tracks up the hill and around several muddy spots. The cap took a little cleaning, but the AGL cap location made it pretty easy. After capturing a few pictures of the cap, I snapped a few pictures of the landscape to the west - just a nice spot.

As I would expect the coordinates given were exactly where that cap was located. I saw many deer on the way to this spot as well as an awesome view west towards the Rocky Mountains see pictures. Thanks! 2003-09-03T20:00:00 Found it ROTC The Beaverlodge cache was a little more difficult than the night before. My first try I came up empty. All I found was the Triangulation posts (I did not know this at the time). OFTH provided me with the distances from the posts to the cap. My Second attempt was a success. At fist I thought it was this distance and azimuth to the cache and not from the cache. After climbing up the hill several times and doing some bushwhacking I gave up. On my way up a different trail I saw the other post. Then I figured out that it’s from the cap and soon found it. I also have to find a way to get off NAD 27 then I could of walked right to it.

We were actually here a couple of times. The first time there was so much water in the hole that we decided to come back. The second time, j0ckser was able to reach down into the hole to clean off the cap enough that we could get a photo. A big shout out to j0ckser; he had the tough job! I got to be the photographer!

I stood by and watched TiE do all the work on this one. There was no way I was getting close to that smelly, mucky pit of water. I did see a nice, shiny cap in the end thought. Thanks OFTH and TiE! 2013-08-21T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP053 Fort McMurray Posted: N56° 42.532 W111° 21.444 GPSr: N56° 42.532 W111° 21.446 I dropped by this one at the end of the day yesterday and was confronted with a 2 1/2 foot deep and 2 1/2 foot wide hole filled to the top with smelly, muddy water. I prefer not to log caps without actually seeing them, so I left disappointed. This morning, we had a bit of free time, so I returned with 2 pails, gloves, rags and a trowel. It took several pails full of water to drain the hole, and then several more pails full of very wet mud. I got pretty deep and still didn't see a cap or a post. I noticed a rock a little to the side and after uncovering it, it turned out to be the cement column that the cap was embedded in. I got it all polished up with the numbers visible and just as I was snapping the photo, mud slumped back over the cap. More bailing and more polishing and I finally was able to get a clean shot. Phew! I was glad to be able to log that one. The cap is in pretty good shape. I suspect this one will be buried again when the next finder arrives so come prepared! Thanks for the cap OFTH! 2012-11-01T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP053 - Fort McMurray This one was covered by a manhole cover made of ice. It was about 3 inches thick and when I stepped on in, I almost went down a couple of feet. Although I did not have anything to bail the water with me, I did use a stick to verify the round cap at the bottom. If this is not, enough, let me know and I will visit it again in warmer weather. 2012-07-24T20:00:00 Found it sTuRgi BCP053 Ft.McMurray A busy day caching and capping. TFTH. 2012-07-10T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP053 Fort McMurray The highway that this cap sits next to is very busy which seems to be the standard for all of Fort Mac...just a super fast paced place with road construction going on everywhere. Cars,buses, trucks, motorcycles, RCMP vehicles and cars with out of province and out of country plates cars criss crossing the local network of roads around here. This must be the definition of boomtown. The cap itself sits in a hole 2' down and required a bailout of water and cleanup of muck before the photos shoot.

The cap is down in a hole about 18 inches deep, and the hole was filled with water. I walked along the ditch and found a discarded plastic milk container. I cut it open with a piece of metal that I found, and used it to bail out the hole. Then I found some plastic that could be used as a scoop to clean out the mud from the bottom of the hole to expose the cap. This was a rather messy job, but it is in good shape for the next hunters.

We found a spot on Bussieres Dr. that had a right of way access open between the houses that easily accessed the berm where the cap was located. The next difficulty was locating the cap with no marker post or depression to help you. I got lucky and stubbed my sandal on the edge of the cap. Another successful cap find.

In 2005, I never would have thought to stop on the shoulder of the highway to jump out and locate the cap. I would have found the safe parking and walked the 800 metres each way. Yet my mindset has changed. I don't know if it's laziness or if it's the drive to find as many as possible. In 2005 our best day was 12 finds. Today, after a full day of work, I found 9. Walking 37 metres instead of 800 sure helps. Thanks for another cap (and a revelation!).

There's a convenient crossroads within a kilometre of the cap, and I used it to turn from the westbound lanes into the eastbound ones. This is the first hinged cap cover I've ever seen. The "cap" is actually a pin and plastic identification disk. As such, it's in pretty good shape, although one of the digits was a bit questionable.

Update: outforthehunt informs me that I've found the point after all and that at some point in it's history it has probably merged with the Geodetic Survey BM. My orignal log below; No joy for me tonight. Thought I'd try this one in between rainshowers so drove east on Hwy 16 towards Galloway ( for those looking it is near the east bound lanes of the highway which is the original higway. The newer west bound lanes are quite a ways away.) Found the Geodetic Surevy of Canada BM right away as it's signed. Interesting BM which is a pin enclosed in a small well/can buried in the ground with a flip top lid. I'll post some photos once I finish this roll. The numbers (90G044) on the BM don't match whats in the hint (77A074) but it's to close to the coordinates to be another. Also scratched on the sign at the BM was ASCM#562744. My GPS zeroed out while sitting on the BM but there was no brass cap in sight. Also, nearby is an Alberta Survey marker - one of those orange metal stakes with a warning sign and a square headed pin in the ground but no brass cap. I paced off the distance from the center line of the highway as described in the hint and kicked around in the grass for a while until another rain shower chased me away. I'm sure it's there somewhere under all that thatch. I may try again after the long weekend but I'll be sure to bring a rake to deal with all the grass.

Pic is on Gumby's log 2015-10-11T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv Jimigigilo and I found BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill). We picked up this cap while hiking around Nose Hill after the event. This one was really cool as we checked out the brass caps that were actually used as caps on the fence posts. A really neat idea. A great view and another fantastic cap. TFTBC <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2015-04-21T20:00:00 Found it GeoMonkey_AB BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) I was on the hill this afternoon with my wife and daughter for a walk in the nice weather we are having. Although I did not have my GPS with me I was confident I could locate this one as I have been past the fenced off area several times. I quickly located the bolt in the rock and then by luck the actual cap. Thanks for another fun and interesting cap OFTH! 2014-10-07T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP 060 Calgary (Nose Hill) Stopped by here a few months ago and took a pic of the wrong thing. This time I got it :-) 2014-07-27T20:00:00 Found it kristaandgeoff BCP060 - Calgary (Nose Hill) Well, that was kind of interesting. The area is roped off as belonging to the Government of Canada. I guess bolts are a bit hard to come by these days. The description for this cap mentions the bolt so that is what I recorded. Afterwards I saw rustywa's log which mentions another cap. sigh On my way out of the cache site, I was asked by a hiker if it was a grave site and I mentioned that no, just a survey monument. But not just ANY survey monument :) T4TBC 2013-07-17T20:00:00 Found it TeamDJM BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) My GPSr reads N51 06.083 W114 06.161 Now that was different - Does the govt of Canada own that piece of land.

I thought I had see all of nose hill by now but I had not seen this fence yet. Very cool to see all these caps. The real 'cap' was quickly found and photographed. Thanks for getting me here and thanks for the cap! I'll post a picture as proof. 2012-09-15T20:00:00 Found it Nike Goddess of Winged Victory BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) N 51 06.083 W114 06.160 I've walked Nose Hill a lot finding caches.

Great views of another quarter of the city from here!

Seemed really official. Email with details to follow. Thanks for the cap! 2011-06-30T20:00:00 Found it CBMocha BCP060 Out on the nose today. A very interesting cap. Strange fencing. I wonder if this is about the highest point in Calgary 2011-06-26T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) 51 06.085 114 06.159 Gotta admire a cap that gets it's own special fence. 2011-04-23T20:00:00 Found it Scraphappyj BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill). Out for a nice walk with the caching dog in the park. More beautiful things to see in the park today. 2010-11-07T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) Samantha dog and I decided to take a stroll on Nose Hill and to search for this one. 2010-10-18T20:00:00 Found it green ducks BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) I have brought every member of my family to this spot at some point. This must be one very special brass cap. 2010-10-06T20:00:00 Found it Foster Bros BCP060 - Nose Hill I found it in the dark. I assume it was the pin in the centre of the rock and not all the other markers around it, although I took pictures of both so that I get the find. Older Foster Bro 2010-09-01T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) Posted: N51° 06.083 W114° 06.160 GPSr: N51° 06.084 W114° 06.161 The temperatures were pleasantly cool this morning, which made for nice hiking through Nose Hill Park. Picked up several long-neglected caches plus this Brass Cap. They certainly made a big production out of this benchmark, with a small fence surrounding it. Fortunately, there were no signs prohibiting entry, so I got in for the money shot. Returned to my vehicle before the rain came. Thanks for a good excuse to get out here again. 2010-08-21T20:00:00 Found it narloth BCP060 - Calgary (Nose Hill) Found this interesting "cap" on a lovely hike with Losmir. TFTBC!! 2010-08-21T20:00:00 Found it Losmir BCP060 - Calgary (Nose Hill) Elevation 1219m GPS Accuracy 3m A very interesting "cap" located in a cute fenced off area. I don't recall being around this part of the park before... nice views for sure. 2010-06-23T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP 060 Calgary (Nose Hill) Found at N51 06.084 W114 06.161 Elevation 1216m Photo will be posted later when computer quits it's little hissy fit. Thanks for the cap. Bearberry and The Cub. 2010-04-19T20:00:00 Found it daedulus BCP060 Calgary Nosehill Quickly found once I understood what I was looking for. Took pic. daedulus 2010-04-16T20:00:00 Found it TrailGuider BCP 060 Calgary Nose Hill This one had me a little confused tonight so I took lots of pictures. From the logs it appears that I did find what I was seeking. 2009-07-10T20:00:00 Found it Andronicus BCP060-Calgary NOSE HILL Listed: N51° 06.083 W114° 06.160 GPSr: N51° 6.0846 W114° 6.1608 Accuracy: 3m GPSr: GlobalSat BT-821 This one is well marked.

Survey stake is well protected inside a fenced area with Government of Canada signs. Each fence post has a blank cap on top of it. Based on previous logs, we went to the centre of the area, cleared the snow and found an embedded rock with a survey stake head protruding from it. Coordinates were a perfect match today. Wasn't sure if there was something else to find, but based on previous logs, we are pretty sure we found what we were supposed to. Only our second stake of this type. Thanks for the marker! 2008-10-11T20:00:00 Found it CoalBranchKid [b]BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) N51° 06.083 W114° 06.160[/b] Out on the Nose today with HolloRips. Great views.

We were really close, so thought we'd visit this cap. Looks like this one has been here for quite some time. CBK will post the pics. Thanks for the cap! ~HolloRips 2008-08-23T20:00:00 Found it nt210 BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) Easy find, what with it being fenced off and all. Tough climb to get there, though. 2008-07-10T20:00:00 Found it The4B's BCP060 - Calgary Nose Hill This was nice and easy while enjoying an early morning walk around Nose Hill. This one was quite unique and different from the usual. Info is on the way. Thanks. 2008-07-01T20:00:00 Found it Tethys C BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) I've walked by this spot before and wondered what was with the little fence around some bushes....now I know. 2008-05-18T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP060 Nose Hill Just a great day to make the trek up Nose hill & find this bolt in a stone. Perfect. Thanks for the fun OFTH. 2008-04-17T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) Now that's different. Hard to miss this one. I wasn't sure if there was an actual brass cap I should be looking for (this is only the second of these I've looked for), but going by the previous finds on this one, it appears I found what I was supposed to. 2008-04-14T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP060 - Calgary Nose Hill This is the oldest brass cap I have found, placed in 1927 according to ofth. Thanks for selecting this survey monument for your brass cap page ofth. 2007-11-23T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP060 -- Calgary (Nose Hill) I think the last time I passed this area it was long before I was caching and long before I knew what a brass cap was. Not having a description with me I just started snapping pics of everything in the area. Best pic was one of the city skyline with the GPSr resting against one of the little stakes. 2007-11-14T20:00:00 Found it eM-Burr BCP060 - Nose Hill Sorry late log just found this GC43F3 cache to log the caps. Email sent. 2007-09-28T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP060 Nosehill Park N51 06.083 W114 06.160 Mr. GeoK cycled up here to collect the cap and was surprised to see the cap had its own sign and a formal chain fence. The cap was bracketed by 3 stakes and a rock in the middle with a cap inlaid into the rock. Very impressive except the cap itself was a bit of a let down as it was just a simple circular metallic domed head. Better check with Outforthehunt and make sure this was indeed the cap. Average of 25 coordinates was N51 06.085 and W114 06.161 which is pretty close to the published numbers. Very nice views up here - highly recommended. Pics are on the way. 2007-07-29T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri BCP060 - Calgary (Nose Hill) Another hot find today. I sort of have to wonder what the area is?!??!?! I mean, look at how many markers there are! And they're all federal! Each fencepost is one. There are three around the bolt, too! TFTH, and the curiousity. -Neko & Hiiri <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2007-07-29T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP060 ~ Calgary (Nose Hill) With the temperature heading to 33 what better time to hike to the top of this wonderful hill. Neko&Hiiri and I dragged two of my boys along for a morning of caching. 2007-01-29T20:00:00 Found it geonana BCP060- been all the way to Lethbridge and back, and all I got to do was one BCP. The good part about this one is that it's VERY well marked! The excuse to find this one was that Charly needed a good run after being cooped up, travelling all day. Good it just before dark. TFTH 2006-10-13T20:00:00 Found it Everhollow BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) N51° 06.083 W114° 06.160 Found this one on my first trip to this area of Calgary. Will e-mail the info tomorrow. 2006-07-16T20:00:00 Found it Viajero Perdido BCP060 Calgary Nose Hill A piece-of-cake find inside its little roped-off garden.

A beautiful day for a ride on Nosehill. 2005-08-22T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx #3 in a big cap attack today. Quite a ride on the old Geocycle. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_tongue.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> A very interesting spot. 2005-06-26T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP060 - Nose Hill - SE N51 06.083 W114 06.160 We found the marker on an evening bike trip through Nose Hill Park. We'll e-mail the details shortly. 2005-06-20T20:00:00 Found it Smrt_geer BCP060 Calgary - Nose Hill I This is about the easiest cap there is to find. It's nice when it's fenced off like a monument! Thanks! 2005-05-23T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP060 - Nose Hill, Calgary Nice quick find on a lovely evening. 2005-05-20T20:00:00 Found it Red90 BCP060 Calgary, Nose Hill N51° 06.083 W114° 06.160 Now that was pretty cool. Do not need a GPSr for this one. Amazing that after all this time, I've never noticed it before. 2005-05-09T20:00:00 Found it GPSlug BCP060 - Calgary Nose Hill Found the pin in the boulder and the fence with all the numberless caps on the posts. 2005-03-05T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP060 - not your typical brass cap. Pretty easy to find with all the white posts around it. 2005-02-20T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP 060 Calgary Nose Hill Beauty day to be out and such a view from up here. This was kinda easy to find. Funny, I'd never been to this side of the park, much. Thanks 2004-11-25T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP060 - Calgary (Nose Hill) N 51° 06.083 W 114° 06.159 Nice, refreshing stroll in the dark. Did a lot of walking around, trying to figure out exactly what was wanted. In the end, I figured that it had to be what was right in the middle. 2004-11-09T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP060 Calgary (Nose Hill) Not quite what I was expecting that's for sure. But very interesting. Each fence post has its own brass cap at the top of it too. 2004-11-04T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP060 Calgary, Nose Hill N51° 06.083 W114° 06.160 Elevation: 1225m. Is this federal territory? It almost felt as if I had entered a cemetery or cenotaph without a monument. Certainly wasn’t expecting the type of pin that presented itself. This is the first time for me to this part of the park. I wonder what kind of activity took place here way back when. Might be good place to bring a detector, especially around some of the remnants of what seems to be the footings of old buildings. The sun is getting low in the horizon and my energy level is also ebbing .I’m not looking forward to the 3.6km walk back to the car, especially into the cutting wind. Thanks for the hunt. 2004-10-10T20:00:00 Found it balloonatic BC060 First cap of the day. Wow, this looks like an important place with the fence and all. Great day to be out on the hill TFTBC 2004-10-01T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 Definately not your typical brass cap. Also another area where it wasnt to had to zero in on. Last cap of the day! Thanks! 2004-06-13T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP060 - Calgary - Nose Hill This was interesting - this was not the usual brass cap that I have grown to know and love - and recognize! Also, they're not usually protected by a fence! Noticed the equilateral triangle formed by the little posts surrounding the cap. TFTC OFTH 2004-06-13T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP060 - Nose Hill, this one is different as it's a federal government marker well guarded 2004-04-27T20:00:00 Found it ibycus And lo did the rain come and the rain turned to ice and snow, and the wind did howl and the lonely geocacher stood steadfast on the top of the hill. 2003-10-26T20:00:00 Found it dhenley and max the dog Did some more cap hunting today. Found BCP060 2003-10-04T20:00:00 Found it reastick [b]BCP060[/b] Calgary (Nose Hill) Went for an evening cycle on Nose Hill. The sun sets quicker than I expected, so I ended up cycling back to the car in the dusk. Still, a beautiful evening to enjoy before the snow flies. When this particular cap was originally posted, there was some traffic on the Calgary Area Cachers mailing list discussing a second pin 5.3m away. I looked for it this evening but couldn't find it. I just now realize I was looking to the northeast instead of the southwest where it is supposed to be (AZ=48 30 00). Maybe it is there then. 677.106 2003-09-16T02:00:00-06:00 BCP061 Edmonton by outforthehunt, Benchmark (1.5/1.5) http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP061.html Edmonton Geocache Geocache|Benchmark Edmonton outforthehunt outforthehunt Benchmark Virtual 1.5 1.5 Canada Alberta <a href='http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP061.html'TARGET='resource window'>Past Finds for BCP061</a> <a href='https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=17395&LogType=2'TARGET='resource window'>Log Your Find</a> 0.4 N OF TRaNSFRMER; 3 CM.

As I was pulling up there was a group standing on the curb saying goodbye right beside the cap. Once I had turned around to park they had finished and gone into the house. The cap was in their front yard so I quickly took a couple pictures and was also on my way. Thanks outforthehunt for another BCP. 2017-04-09T20:00:00 Found it UBC Geograd BCP061- Edmonton Managed to get another one before this cache disappears. It is a nice easy find, and is essentially in someone's front yard. All numbers were decipherable, and my son though it was fun to find a "gold circle". Lots of fun this evening thanks! 2017-04-06T20:00:00 Found it Gimli*/GeoJoce BCP061 Edmonton I had a bit of time after finding a challenge cache nearby so decided to hunt out the 2 brass caps in the area as well. I must admit to shamelessly trolling the brass cap page to note caps that have been found recently. Still a bit new to finding these guys, I have no shovel/metal detector experience......yet. :) My first stop here and I was a bit concerned about being seen. The blinds being closed in the house was helpful and once I spotted the cap I realized I didn't have to leave the sidewalk in any way. Yes! Cap was uncovered and in great shape. One of the more readable ones I've found. A quick pic and I was on my way. Thanks again OFTH! 2017-04-01T20:00:00 Found it mikefromcanmore BCP061 Edmonton - A quick find on a nice Saturday morning on the way to the park. 2016-12-03T20:00:00 Found it Stonagal BCP061 - Edmonton. I wasn't crazy about searching in a yard, but helpful pics made my search as little invasive as possible. Nice to find this so soon after introducing my friend 4elements5senses to brass caps! 2016-11-19T20:00:00 Found it 4elements5senses BCP061 - EDMONTON I flew in to Edmonton from Winnipeg for a quick caching trip, and my buddy Stonagal told me of this virtual. It took a few minutes to spot this one, as it was under the snow and wood chips. Thanks for the neat virtual, outforthehunt! 2016-10-08T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv I found BCP061 Edmonton. A swipe over area with the metal detector quickly gave me a good reading. I brushed away the snow and some wood chips and there was the cap. Thanks for another great cap in an interesting location.

After a short search, ManjaLou and Mrs Shark were waiting while Mr Shark got the metal detector. Mrs Shark absently moved some wood chips with her foot and there was the cap! We were all glad to see it, quickly did what we needed to do and then vamoosed! Thanks for the cap. 2015-09-12T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP061 Edmonton When we pulled up the first thought we had was" I hope these people are geocachers or understand about the BCP". <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Nobody came out to see what we were doing though. We had just decided that we might need the metal detector and Mr. Black Shark was getting it ready when Mrs. Black Shark shuffled some wood chips away and... Voila...there it was! We took our pictures and continued on our journey through Edmonton. Thank you Outforthehunt. 2015-07-26T20:00:00 Found it G & E BCP061 - Edmonton Stopped by on my 25km bike ride this evening. The context picture made this a quick find which was helpful as I didn't like being right in front of someone's front door! 2015-06-23T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP 061 Edmonton This was the first of our stops in Edmonton today and #3 on the day. I managed to find the cap without re-visiting the various cap context photos, although I did have them handy, just in case. I brushed a few wood chips out of the way and took the cap photo. Then we were off for another not too far away. Thanks for the cap ofth. 2015-05-01T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP061 - Edmonton Posted: N53 27.938 W113 35.901 MyGPSr: N53 27.938 W113 35.906 Simply had to brush off a few wood chips to expose this clean cap. Thanks for another one. 2014-09-20T20:00:00 Found it Kiwibirdman BCP061 Edmonton We were going to find this one in July but were scared off by it being in someone's garden. I later looked up the logs and saw reference pictures showing it just off the sidewalk and that the homeowner doesn't mind visits. Thanks! 2013-06-08T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP061 Edmonton MyGPSr: N53 27.938 W113 35.909 Elevation: 681 m I'd studied context shots for this one before I arrived, but once I got on scene, the wood chips at ground zero looked daunting. After a quick look around, I returned to the car to look at the context shot on the phone and with that in hand went back to gz and found the cap with the second swish of my hand. Like magic it was! Thanks for the cap! 2011-09-10T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP061 Edmonton I was in town doing some teaching and went out to do some shopping at the new Cabelas and pick-up a few caches in the area.

It was hiding beneath the lovely grey wood chips on someones front yard - just needed to brush away a couple of chips to read the numbers. 2011-06-23T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP061 Edmonton - Our newly purchased metal detector was handy in being able to find this with absolutely no disturbance of the landscaping material. 2010-11-26T20:00:00 Didn't find it DanOCan BCP061: Edmonton I was a little skeptical about my ability to find Brass Caps under the snow. We pulled up at ground zero and my confidence rose -- a brass cap in a sidewalk? No problem. After walking up and down the general area a few times I brought up the website to check some previous logs. I found one of the context photos and started kicking at the snow -- oh crap, I'm kicking up wood chips, not grass. I started a more gentle search but couldn't find anything. I didn't spend a lot of time searching for this one as the location right on the edge of someone's yard made me uncomfortable. I'll be back some other time with more people and locate it then. 2010-09-12T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP061 Poked and prodded for a few moments, then I gave a little toe-kick in the general area of my search and the cap was revealed.

A quick find in a quiet neighborhood.

TFTBC!!!! 2010-04-30T20:00:00 Found it rubiconrunner BCP061 Edmonton When I pulled up to this cap site I was reluctant to get out of the truck. As others have already said this area is covered in bark mulch. A fresh layer of the stuff to boot. The lady who lives at this location happened to be walking out the front door. I talked to her and after brushing away the cover she showed me exactly where the cap was. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> She said she will try to leave the cap exposed for future finders. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_approve.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> TFTBC! 2009-11-28T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP061 Edmonton Posted N53° 27.938 W113° 35.902 GPSr N53° 27.939 W113° 35.903 This one wins for the can't see for looking cap of the day and as a result the most uncomfortable to find cap. We had vdD's context shot so we knew within a foot where the cap should be but between the ice, snow, frozen dirt and landscape wood chips we just couldn't see it. I was hesitant to pull out the metal detector as we were on a neighbourhood street looking at the edge of someone's lawn. I went back to the truck to warm up and then bit the bullet and pulled out the detector. Got a brassy tone right away, cleared some wood chips but there was no cap. I pulled out a small trowel to chip off some frozen dirt hoping for a quick find and there was no brass. Probed again, got a tone, chipped a tiny bit more, probed again got a tone... I decided that I wasn't going to do this in this location, so I pushed the small amount of dirt back in the little hole and covered it with wood chips. The wood chips I moved to cover the dirt turned out to be hiding the cap about an inch from where I was chipping dirt. Figures. To top it off, our fairly new camera decided that this was the time to give me a lens error and would no longer function. Good thing the Oregon has a camera in it. Took the photos and we were good to go. Thanks for the cap! 2009-09-07T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP061 - Edmonton 626 metres, we dug around in the wood chips, and discovered the cap about 10 centimeters off the sidewalk. TFTC. 2009-04-25T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP061 - Edmonton Elev. 676 metres I thought I was going to DNF this one. There were bark chips all over the yard at ground zero. I was unwilling to step off the sidewalk onto the front yard, and the transformer's wiring was messing up the compass. It turns out that the cap is right beside the sidewalk. It's in pretty good shape, with only one major impact mark on the surface that doesn't hide any digits. Thanks for the right beside the sidewalk cap! 2008-09-09T20:00:00 Found it dronnord BCP 061 Found during a 3 Day Seek N` run between Edmonton and Calgary.Thanks for this adventure.Email has been sent.<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2008-07-21T20:00:00 Found it thegeoviking Found BCP061 today after hiding some caches in the area!<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for the cap! 2008-06-28T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP061 Edmonton Another cap on our way to our new found dog walking park.

First time, there was some grass over it and could not find it. Second time, came with the family, but didn't want all the kids to get out to not look too suspicious. My older son tried to find it, but couldn't. Third time we were with Bush Creatures, but the lady that lives there was working in the flower garden and it seemed like the area where the cache was supposed to be had been landscaped (dirt and flowers over top of it). This time, I came at night (12:20 AM) and found it no problem. No muggles to worry about and the cap had been swept from all dirt by the Calgary team of nicolo and ibycus who came here on the weekend. Thanks guys! Mr. Speedy 2005-08-13T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP061 ( Edmonton ) N53° 27.938 W113° 35.902 Found at 3:35 PM on Edmonton caching raid #2 with ibycus. This one was fun. The cap is located on a homeowner's lawn but was not in sight anywhere. Since we didn't feel like digging up their lawn, well some dirt anyway, or haul out Old Yeller, we were about to leave. However, I figgured I'd try out a good ol' compass sweep in the general area as per the hint. Swept just a little when, BANG, down went the needle. ibycus quickly swept some dirt, Eureka! 2005-08-13T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP061 Had to be a litlte bit careful with this one, as it is in a very high traffic location, and we didn't want to be questioned (didn't really want to dig out the metal detector here). Anyways, nicolo found the cap with a quick compass sweep, and we got the heck out of there. TFTC. 2003-09-21T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx I am logging the Henderson street cap, a tad late, I guess!!

Unbelievably, on a Friday afternoon I found good parking near the base of the tower and took the photo hereby attached. Other than that, everything was pretty basic. I chose to perform a simple upward teleport to have a quick look near the centre of the gas tube just below the bottom of the radio mast and twin lights and view the “brass cap in the sky”…how I wish I could go into more detail about all of *that*…but I am warned by certain parties it must remain top-secret. Ergo, let the official record state that the sidewalk cap in the picture is the only one I found that day. Finis Historia 2017-05-02T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP063 Calgary Tower We recently had the occasion to visit Vertigo theatre where a friend was involved in a musical production taking place that evening. This provided an unexpected and unlikely opportunity. After watching the show we visited with this pal who invited us to see the backstage area. While having a look about, we discovered a concealed and obviously seldom used hatchway. With gentle encouragement the panel popped open, exposing a narrow and shallow corridor that traveled far enough along that we couldn't tell where it ended...at this point, curiosity got the best of us and we proceeded down the passage eventually coming to another manhole style door. This opened grudgingly and we found ourselves in the stairwell that leads up to the height of the tower. At this point, there was no holding me back and we proceeded to ascend the stairs, eventually arriving at the observation deck. From previous logs, I knew that the cap was accessible from this area, so putting both fear and good judgment aside, we ventured forth to the access point and ultimate success. An most excellent challenge fulfilled. Thanks for the most interesting adventure ofth! 2017-04-30T20:00:00 Found it Switty 13 BCP063 – Calgary (Calgary Tower) N 51° 02.658’ W 114° 03.787’ Elevation 1238.33m I toured the City today to pick up some of my unfound Caps.

Thanks to Outforthehunt for maintaining the Brass Cap cache for everyone to enjoy! 2017-04-27T20:00:00 Found it Iron Phoenix BCP063 - Calgary (Calgary Tower) I was downtown for a meeting so I figured I'd pick up a couple of caps while I was in the neighbourhood. I got one before the meeting because I had time, but I was glad I didn't go for this one until after the meeting. My meeting was on the 38th floor, and I had to fill out some papers right next to a big window overlooking the Tower. This gave me an idea! I took a couple photos from here to post in the log but after the meeting, I made my way up (since I was only a few floors down from there) to the roof, snuck through a couple doors I shouldn't have, and managed to get up top. Now normally this Phoenix doesn't like breaking the wings out in daylight, but I figured since I was on the roof and I had a very short flight over to the tower, I had a very slim chance of being seen by those folks in the top floors of other office buildings (and the tower) so I made an exception. I made the quick zip over, got the info, and zipped back so I could go down to ground level like a "normal" person. Since I heard nothing on the news of a weird giant bird downtown today, I figure I'm in the clear! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for the unique Cap! It was fun to get! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2017-04-22T20:00:00 Found it behmSquad BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) #37 of 46 caps found on the day. I spent the early morning finding caps at all points from Calgary to Red Deer. I returned to Calgary in the afternoon to clear out much of north Calgary including a good hike across nose hill. TFTC 2017-02-23T20:00:00 Found it Citizen_22 BCP063 - Calgary Tower I headed downtown looking for adventure and realized that I hadn't yet found the cap in the Calgary Tower. Without wanting to pay to get up there I opted for the stairs. With the little citizens in tow, I was able to have them hang off my front and back while one sat on my shoulders. Nothing like upping the ante for a little workout right? Once up there we were able to explore the glass floor. While standing there I noticed handles at about waist height. Really, with the handles there, there was no requirement for the glass. I suggested that they make the viewing area more of a challenge by removing the glass. Doesn't sound like that's going to happen. Boring. So we took some pictures, located the cap and then decided to repel down. A better rope was needed due to the excess little citizens I was carrying. All in all, we made it as challenging as we could. Too bad about the glass though... 2017-02-12T20:00:00 Found it Stonagal BCP063 - Calgary Tower I've always been part mountain goat, and I knew I'd need every bit of innate and acquired skill to tackle this one. I managed to find a way to ascend the tower with minimal effort, while pesky onlookers told me to "stop" and "get back down here", and ask stupid questions like "what is wrong with you?" I spied the cap and then slid back down, toboggan-style. I hit the ground and saw several cops running toward me, so I took off back toward my car. I managed to lose them and head off for more caching. Thanks for the virtual! 2016-12-05T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) Have you heard the story about the two geocachers who walked into the Calgary Tower gift shop looking for a brass cap? Well quite the story it is. Bearberry and I made more than one trip to the Calgary Tower in search of the elusive brass cap. Each time we went around, over, under and through every nook and crany of the exterior of the Tower that we could see looking for this brass cap and each time we came up empty handed. On a return trip we went into the gift shop and asked of the clerk if they knew anything about the brass cap but as their eyes glassed over and they shook their head we knew we weren't going to get the desired response. The next time we were downtown we decided to try again. Bearberry's theory was there might we someone else in the shop that day that would know about the brass cap, NOT!!!! It wasn't until a discussion with a more learned brass cap hound that I discovered what had to be done in order to log this find. Wow, I sure wish Bearberry and I had known earlier. In fact, the story would surely be that much more interesting if Bearberry had written it. Thanks for the interesting hunt. 2016-03-06T20:00:00 Found it stormcrow50 BCP063 Calgary Tower. Realized this would be a unique challenge so I came prepared with all my ladders and super Gorilla duct tape (after all I am Canadian) Using my ladders I was able to work up a number of roofs, it is easy to carry my telescoping ladder up the 32 foot ladder. Then reversed duct tape around my feet knees hips hands and forehead, I climbed up the outside using the duct tape to keep from falling. Got to the location and found the cap, took a photo of the cap but left my camera behind, did not notice right away. I changed up the tape and carefully worked my way down. Great challenge 2016-01-16T20:00:00 Found it 97CMA BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) I've found the Calgary Tower fascinating since I was in grade two and went on a school field trip. Then again in grade 5. Then again a few other times. I'm fascinated by it. The only thing that fascinates me more is geocaching. When I found out that there was a geocache on the top of the Calgary tower I was excited. Now I just had to figure out how to do find it. I have worked for engineering companies for many years. When I found out the tower needed to have an inspection done I finagled my way to attend as well. I'm most likely the only accountant with a hard hat holding a level that's ever been on top of the tower. But there I was. As I'm making notes of the numbers the inspector is giving me, I'm making a few notes off the brass cap too. I've found the cap on the top of the tower, woohoo. I get a pretty weird look from the rest of the party. I'm just so excited. Unfortunately I'm sad to report that the strong Chinook Winds have done some temporary damage, that will need to be fixed before re opening to the general public. 2016-01-16T20:00:00 Found it 0728ALH BCP063 Calgary Tower I was on a school trip. I got left behind. I didn't know where I was. I thought that door looked like a good door. I picked it. I went through but realized I was in stairs. I tried the door but it was locked. I went up, up, up, up. Finally I opened another door. I was outside, it was very cold. I noticed the numbers and thought they might open the door. I wrote them down, then went, down, down, down. They did open the lock on the door. Tftc 2016-01-16T20:00:00 Found it Team Pixos BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) We stopped to thank the STARS crew today for successfully transporting 97CMA back in 2012 when she needed a life flight to save her life. The transport went from Red Deer Hospital to Foothills. The crew was so happy to see a survivor walk in the door that they offered to take us up in a celebration flight. I was excited to do this, but 97CMA had a bit of a anxiety attack and decided to opt out, 0728ALH decided he would just as soon stay on land too. I was whisked up in the air. Soon the Calgary Tower that 97CMA's room at Foothills faced was directly below us, the STARS crew was called to an emergency and quickly headed off for another life flight. They quickly lowered me onto the top of the Tower using the gear and took off. I tried unsuccessfully to stand but with the winds and rotor storm hitting me I fell to the floor. What should my nose land on,? but a Brass Cap. I quickly grabbed a pen out of my pocket and wrote the numbers down on my arm. Unfortunately I didn't dare take my phone out for a picture, I slowly crawled over to the hatch, and went into the warm interior, best adventure I've ever had. Tftc 2015-08-21T20:00:00 Found it Trefoil/Voyager BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) N51° 02.658 W114° 03.787 Well today seemed to be a good day to try for this one. With the weather the way it was we figured it should be pretty quiet in the area. This ended up being totally correct. This gave us the chance open the door to the inner stairs to the radio mast on the observation deck and duck inside for the climb to the top. We made quick work of the climb and then opened the door to rain and fog. Not a person could see us from down below. A quick check of the cap details and back into the dry stairwell we popped. Glad it was a quick find. Thanks for another wonderful experience in the Brass Cap world. We don't enter it often but when we do we always have fun. 2015-07-18T20:00:00 Found it NurseB33 BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) I learned about this Brass Cap a few months ago but needed to come up with a plan in terms of how I could access this tricky Cap. Well, the opportunity presented itself today and I had to take advantage of it. I was at the WestCan5 Mega in Dauphin, MB completing the <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5XRE4_the-amnesia-conundrum">Amnesia Conundrum</a> Wherigo, trying to help Oleg (who has suffered a head injury) when I was informed that the patient was being sent to Calgary via Stars Air Ambulance for treatment and wouldn't you know.... they needed a nurse to accompany him. I left KinderKen in the hospital parking lot and hopped onboard the helicopter to help out. Everything went very well at the Foothills Hospital and we were ahead of schedule so I begged the pilot to pleeeeease fly over the Calgary Tower so that I could gather the required information from this Brass Cap. Since I had volunteered to bring Oleg to Calgary (and had taken precious time away from all the fun at the Mega), the pilot said it was the least he could do <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. It only took a few moments to get a good look at the Cap and I was even able to snap a quick photo with my camera, woo hoo!! Oleg wanted to look at all the photos I had taken during the Mega, so I let him browse through the pictures on my digital camera during the long trek back to Dauphin. We arrived back in Dauphin safe and sound and waved goodbye to the lovely crew aboard Stars Air Ambulance. I turned to say goodbye to Oleg and asked him for my camera back when he suddenly had a look of panic on his face. "I must have left it on the helicopter" he informed me <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_sad.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. Oh no, they were already high above us and I couldn't waste their precious time asking them to return my camera!! When I returned to Calgary after the Mega, I visited the Foothills Hospital Lost & Found but my camera was not there. Darn, I guess you'll just have to take my word on this one. Thanks for this neat experience. For more information about Oleg and this cool Wherigo, please visit the linked site above. Oh and just a side note.... If anyone finds my camera, please let me know!! 2015-07-06T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) When we noticed this survey marker the question was how to log it. Going up in the elevator or taking the stairs would get us close but we knew there was no public access to the roof of the Tower. Even the friendliest toothy grins from two Black Sharks likely would not charm our way past the authorities who would show up shortly after we went through the first locked or alarmed door. There had to be another way. Months later we were on holidays back home in the Pacific Ocean. A terrible storm came up and broke up our first family reunion. It made quite a mess and attendees and stuff were widely scattered. It took the two of us awhile to realize that we weren't just riding a big wave to parts unknown, we were actually spinning along in a tornado. Mr Shark doesn't do well with circling so he quickly got dizzy and Mrs Shark had to hang onto him to keep him from falling right out of the tornado over some very sharp looking landscape. It must have been the Rocky Mountains because soon things started to look a bit familiar. Was it? Could it be? It looked like Calgary was looming ahead! Mr Shark couldn't have swam straight in his dizziness but he was still thinking clearly. He thought that if we exited this tornado at just the right moment we would go flying right past the Calgary Tower and could spot the elusive marker on the top! It was a daring plan and it might have worked except getting over the Rockies had taken most of the spin out of this tornado and it suddenly lost power. It was a very frightening moment when we realized all our movement was vertical in the direction of down! We couldn't see well but suddenly we both slammed into something. It felt as hard as solid ground but, fortunately, we'd managed to land in water. When Mr Shark stopped swimming in circles and all the chirping little birds left us alone we went home. Well, it had been a good plan while it lasted. <a href="https://coord.info/GLJ31PYZ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Continued</a> 2015-07-06T20:00:00 Write note Black Shark BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) Part 2 The following year, another Shark Family Reunion was organized: The Second One. Of course we went. It seems like unbelievable odds but there was another tornado! Once again we found ourselves swept up. Here we go again! As before, Calgary loomed on the horizon. This funnel was stronger so we were confident that this time we were going to make it! We both left the tornado (now just a funnel cloud) at the same moment and sailed right past the Tower! It was a glorious moment for both of us, seeing everything as described from about as close as anyone can get without being on the tower itself. And what a view! Everything on the ground looked so small! Mrs Shark banked a bit and splashed down at a gentle glide angle into the Bow River. Mr Shark was still spinning as he exited the tornado. Spinning sharks must have extra lift so he travelled further downstream, barely missed a bridge and made a spectacular splash with his twirling entry into the water. Not that anyone was likely to notice two Sharks drop into the river. Due to the tornado, the Calgary Tower had been evacuated and much of Calgary's populace had left town or taken shelter. We surfaced just in time to see the funnel cloud break up completely. It was unfortunate that Mr Shark had the camera when the tornado plucked us out of the ocean. As already mentioned he gets dizzy pretty quickly and was still spinning when he flew past the Tower. Instead of pictures of the cap and context photos, all we got were high speed panorama shots of the entire Calgary skyline. A bit too artsy to be helpful here. Pity. We were a bit apprehensive for a couple of weeks and kept our story under wraps. Perhaps a TV news reporter had seen us. You know the type: they shout into their microphone over the storm while barely maintaining their footing as large tree branches and pieces of buildings blow past telling viewers it's too dangerous to venture outside. But nothing happened. Good thing, too. No telling what silly stories would have come of people seeing sharks drop out of a tornado over the city! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Spotting this cap was unplanned but it was a thrill! Thanks for the adventure, outforthehunt, and another very well chosen BCP! Are we planning on attending the third family reunion? Oh h*ll no! 2015-05-10T20:00:00 Write note royal rogues family Part 2 * May 3, 2000 "The Great American GPS Stash Hunt" N 45° 17.460 W 122° 24.800 “So if we understand correctly, this group of aliens called the Daleks is trying to prevent geocaching from ever starting,” I said. “That’s correct,” The Doctor said. “They’re trying to prevent Dave Ulmer from placing the precursor to geocaching on this day.” “Why would they do that?” the royal rogues daddy asked. “Why?” The Doctor’s gaze was piercing. “The Daleks are evil! Geocaching is a fun hobby that makes billions and billions of beings across the universe happy. Of course the Daleks want to destroy it!” A horrid screeching noise came across the ship's communication system. “Exterminate geocaching!” it shrieked. “Exterminate geocaching!” The royal rogues son did not like this screeching noise. I don’t know how he knew what to do, but he knew exactly what needed to be done. On one of the screens, he watched this flurry of cylindrical-looking robotic aliens flying across the sky toward where Dave Ulmer was about to place the original geocaching stash. The royal rogues son ran across the room, pressed a series of brightly coloured buttons, and as fast as the Daleks had been flying across the sky, they began being sucked backward into a hole. He had also been able to prevent anything but the Daleks from being taken into the hole. “Brilliant!” The Doctor exclaimed. “The royal rogues son has opened a pocket universe in which to place the Daleks. This lot will never return, and geocaching will be safe!” The four of us hugged as the last of the Daleks disappeared and the opening to the pocket universe closed up. * May 10, 2015 BCP 063 Calgary Tower N 51° 02.658 W 114° 03.787 That wasn’t the end of our adventures with The Doctor. His TARDIS could travel through time and space, so the four of us had a fantastic time finding caches on other planetary bodies elsewhere in the universe. Unfortunately, because of what the Doctor called “wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff”, those finds won’t show up in our account until the actual dates of the finds. We even placed an Earthcache, which we should properly call a Marscache here, on Mars to do with its northern polar ice cap. The Doctor is an Earthcache/Marscache reviewer, so our cache was approved immediately. However, it’ll be another 200 years before anyone will be able to claim a smiley on it. When we returned to our time period to Earth, The Doctor stopped his police box in Cochrane’s neighbourhood of Riversong. It both seemed to amuse him and bring some tears to his eyes. And as a favour to us, he took the TARDIS to the top of Calgary Tower so we could get the requisite numbers off the brass cap and claim this find. And just as suddenly, we found ourselves in the elevator as if nothing had happened and began the ride to the observation deck. We tried to get a picture of the TARDIS from the clear floor as The Doctor left, we assumed to get his friend Clara her long-promised coffee, but someone’s left leg is unfortunately blocking where you could see the TARDIS. Thanks for another fun brass cap and helping us to go on such a wild adventure! royal rogues mama 2015-05-10T20:00:00 Found it royal rogues family Part 1 BCP 063 Calgary Tower N 51° 02.658 W 114° 03.787 (Note: The Doctor would like me to mention that our story takes place between “Deep Breath” and “Into the Dalek”. I’m assuming he’s referring to two of his other strange and interesting time-related adventures.) I certainly can’t say that we weren’t forewarned of what could happen when we tried to make this find. At an event Pirate Grrlz hosted for geocaching’s fifteenth birthday, I mentioned to the Captain that we royal rogues were planning on trying for this brass cap this weekend. The Captain showed me the very watch that was involved in his own time travels in finding this particular brass cap. Perhaps there is a weak point in the space-time continuum at the Calgary Tower; I do believe that the laws of physics don’t always apply there, based on the stories others have posted. And I don’t think The Doctor would have shown up here and in the manner that he did if there weren’t something special about geocachers making this find. We weren’t thinking that anything out of the ordinary would happen after we stepped into the elevator to go to the Calgary Tower’s observation deck. Instead of finding the normal inside of an elevator, there was a blue police box inside. What a bizarre thing to find in an elevator! Out of blue box's doors popped a clean-shaven man with short grey hair and wearing a nicely tailored suit. He was holding a tray with two to-go coffee cups. “Here you are!” he exclaimed to us three royal rogues. “Come on in now.” “It’s Cardinal Richelieu!” I exclaimed. “We’re not going anywhere with you! You’ve been an enemy to my friends the Musketeers. And you tried to have Queen Anne assassinated! You lost your beard and sound Scottish now, but I would know you anywhere!” Now, how I came to be friends with a group of French soldiers and Queen Anne of Austria from the 1600s and an enemy to a powerful cardinal/advisor to Louis XIII is quite a different story that does not otherwise enter into this one. “Ah, maybe that’s where my face is from,” the man muttered. He looked at me intently. “I am The Doctor. This Cardinal Richelieu is from a different lifetime, and I am not he. I need your help, particularly your son’s help.” Something about his manner and tone made us believe him. Despite The Doctor's striking resemblance to the Cardinal, the two were not the same. The Doctor handed the royal rogues daddy the coffee tray. “Two coffees for your trouble. I’ll make sure to get Clara her coffee before I return.” The last bit he said more to himself as a reminder than to us. “What do you need help with?” the royal rogues daddy asked. He took a sip of coffee. “This is fantastic! Where’s it from?” “Glasgow,” The Doctor answered and opened the doors farther for us to come inside. All this time, the royal rogues son wasn’t entirely certain of The Doctor or why there was a blue police box, which The Doctor said was called a TARDIS but the royal rogues son maintained should be called a “scary elevator”, where he had been expecting an elevator, but when he saw all of the buttons on various control panels, he ran inside. “It’s bigger on the inside,” I remarked at the same time as the royal rogues daddy said, “It’s smaller on the outside.” “Indeed,” The Doctor said. “To answer your first question, I need your help to save geocaching.” 2015-04-18T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) We'd had a wonderful day of caching with the Black Sharks and in the evening we went to the Jubilations Dinner Theatre to see " Sherlock". And it's there that Sherlock being the super sleuth he is gave us a hint on how to solve our problems on how to log this BCP. Lucky for us the Comic Expo was in Calgary! Sherlock had suggested we ask some of the super heroes who were there to help us. And that's what we did!! Spiderman was only to happy to use his super powers to help take us to the top of the Calgary Tower to get the info we needed. Once done we high fived him and almost got caught up in a sticky situation. Thanks to Sherlock and Spiderman for their help in logging this Very interesting cache! Thankyou Outforthehunt for setting this one up. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2014-11-02T20:00:00 Found it Ge0Patr0l BCP063 - Brass Cap Cache - Calgary (Calgary Tower) Well this certainly was an interesting morning. Mr Ge0Patr0l was off for a conference in New Orleans early this morning and he knew of a cap at the top of the Calgary tower. Unfortunately his flight was leaving so early that he didn't think he would be able to get it as it would be too dark out. He went through the usual routines at the airport, and was quickly through waiting at the gate, hours earlier then necessary thanks to the international flight. The time came to board and everything continued to go smoothly, until the push back from the gate, then things went downhill quickly. With the early season snow, and the plane having sat on the tarmac overnight, it was covered in snow and needed some snow removal before we could take off. Not sure why they didn't do this earlier or even before we boarded? Anyway, the delay caused mixed feelings, as it was now light out and there was a chance depending on the runway to see the brass cap. The flight took off on the new runway and away we went. We couldn't have been off the ground for more then 30 seconds when all of a sudden the plane pitched and rolled towards the west. Not a fan of the roller coaster ride takeoff, but what should I see when I look out my window but the downtown core coming up fast with the tower in sight. Pulled out my camera to see if I could snap a quick picture as it whizzed by. Sure enough the cap was in sight and I quickly held the button down to take a quick succession of pictures hoping one was clear enough. Put them through the photo editor during the flight and hooray, there they were. Thanks for the cap! Oh, and the pilots did come on and apologize for the maneuvers. There were a number of birds that decided to hop a ride on the plane to join us for the trip to escape the snow. Find # 2664 - 11/2/2014 10:25:08 AM 2014-09-30T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP 063 I took this picture while search (unsuccessfully) for Giddy Up Rusty (again) :-). Decided today was a good day for picking this one up. After all, its a bit of a milestone time. Today marks the end of the Month of Unknowns Challenge for me. There's bee other milestones this week too, with finding #1000 just a few days ago and extending my days found streak to 200. Exciting times! After looking through the logs and trying to think of what could possibly still be a unique way of finding this Cap I remembered my old unicycle--actually, my brother's unicycle, as mine is in storage. So I dusted it off and scaled the tower. It was a cinch really. Thanks for the Brass Cap! 2014-09-27T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP063: Calgary Tower Well, I'm not much of a fiction writer so I had given up on every finding this brass cap. However, I was fortunate enough to score a coveted spot on the annual Doors Open YYC "behind the scenes tour" of the Calgary Tower. After touring the old train station in the basement, and some other hidden spots, we finally made it to the observation deck. It was there our guide unlocked a non-descript door and advised us because of the cramped quarters we would only be able to access "the penthouse" three at a time. I was in the second group to ascend the staircase to the normally off-limit mechanical area at the very top of the tower. Well, I call it a staircase but it was more ladder-like than anything, requiring a bit of a climb to finally reach the small landing at the top. As I emerged from the hatch, I was quite impressed by the mechanical workings of the tower. Elevator pulleys, HVAC systems, and -- of course -- the access hatch to the roof and the area outside the pod. While our tour didn't allow us outside, the guide did point out that we were directly below the antenna mast and also showed us the gas line which feeds the torch. I figure that's so close to the antenna base that it counts as finding this benchmark. I even have the photos to prove it -- I was right there below the base of the antenna mast, just on the wrong side of the roof. 2014-08-31T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP063 Calgary Tower Over the years this particular cap has been a bit of a mystery to me. I’ve been up the tower a couple of times and never been able to locate it. Reading the logs has been even more confounding so I just figured this one would have to stay in the ‘did not locate’ column. As luck would have it, one of my old archeology profs was in Calgary last winter delivering a lecture on the Lines of Nazca and her work on interpreting the zoomorphic shapes as large astronomical calendars. As she was talking about the relevance of intersecting light from super moons and the geometric shapes something about the Calgary Tower and it’s place on the map twigged. If I could figure out the angle of light exactly three weeks prior to the autumnal equinox as it intersects the sloped glass of the observatory and the reflection of the light off the concave glass of The Bow, AND held a crystal imported from the bowels of the Peruvian jungle I might be able to make the cap materialize. I couldn’t possibly do all this by myself, so Dave was kind enough to come along and hold the crystal. I had to convince him that there would not be any human sacrifice involved and maybe he might get fed lunch. Anyhoo, I don’t think I will be able to write a Master thesis from this BUT I do have photographic evidence that there is in fact a cap at the top of the Calgary Tower. Unfortunately we made so much noise cheering when the cap appeared that we were escorted from the building and Dave did not get his lunch. Thanks for a very brain breaking adventure! 2014-08-10T20:00:00 Found it GeoMonkey_AB BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) N51 02.659 W114 03.786 I have spent many sleepless nights agonizing over this cap, but no more!!! Its funny how people come in and out of our lives, even funnier is when someone comes into your life, then goes out of your life only to reappear many years down the road - usually when you need help with something. This happened to me today. Back in the early 1990s I was a young air cadet on my flight scholarship here in Calgary. At the time I met a guy named Drew who became one of my best friends. As happens over the years we lost touch and went about our separate lives. Today we crossed paths again and although we both have aged considerably we recognized each other almost immediately. After a brief greeting we decided to go for a coffee and catch up. As is usually the case we talked about everything we have done since flight school. During this conversation I realized Drew could help me with a problem I have had for a couple of years now...You see Drew is now helicopter pilot based out of Edmonton and he was down here for a few days waiting for some clients. While he continued to tell me all about his life since cadets the wheels in my head were turning. In my head I was working out the following...Drew has a helicopter, my wife had just given me a new Canon Super Telephoto 1200mm f/5.6L EF USM Autofocus Lens (read as “really big, super clear, freaking expensive" lens), there’s a cap on the tower I have never been able to get... Drew can get the camera, lens, and me up to the cap in his helicopter! In the blink of an eye I had a plan in place to finally get the cap on the tower. I quickly explained to Drew what geocaching was all about and why he should take me up on a flight today. At first he was hesitant and quoted me all kinds of air regulations and reasons for why this was a bad idea. It took some convincing but eventually Drew came around to my way of thinking. We made our way to the monkey cage aka my place to retrieve the camera and lens and then to the airport to climbed in his helicopter. Quickly we were airborne and on our way to the tower. I could hardly wait. As we approached I read Drew the description of where the cap was supposed to be. He indicated he understood and maneuvered in close so I could snap some photos of the cap. I made sure my 5 point harness was secure and opened the door to lean out and take my photos. All was going well...too well! Out of the sun a hawk came screaming towards us. Drew was quick to evade the crazy territorial bird but the damage was done. I dropped my camera and could only watch in horror as it fell towards the ground. Luckily today is Sunday and the nearby construction site my camera fell into was deserted. Still the camera shattered when it hit the concrete and I lost any chance of retrieving the numbers. Given that we almost died up there and my wife will probably kill me when I tell her how I lost my lens and camera I’m claiming this cap. Now to come up with a believable story to tell my wife... thanks for the cap... I think. 2014-04-22T20:00:00 Found it Thonor1 BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) N51° 02.658 W114° 03.787 Found along with Brendan714.... not that this one can't be found from many places! 2014-04-22T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) N51° 02.658 W114° 03.787 I've been up the Calgary Tower many times since I was a kid. One vivid memory I have when I was just a child is that we went for dinner at the rotating restaurant on top of the tower. I found it so cool that it took exactly 1 hour to spin 360 degrees. I remember throwing a sugar pack on the side and one hour later seeing it again! Small things, as they say. 2013-11-03T20:00:00 Found it k5¢ents BCP063 - Calgary (Calgary Tower) Well it doesn't get much easier than this. From the office building I was in today, I could just look down on the Tower and see the cap. This Tower sure seems a lot shorter than it used to be. Thanks. 2013-09-06T20:00:00 Found it Pirate Grrlz BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) The Captain here. I had decided that this brass cap was going to be found by me today and nothing was going to stop me. As I work nearby, I took a coffee break mid-morning and set out towards it. It was still raining quite hard but nothing was going to stop me. As I was walking past a mostly deserted Stephen Avenue, I noticed a flash of a shiny object near a sewer drain. Being a true Pirate at heart, I couldn't resist so made a slight detour, bent down and picked up the object. It was a gold watch, the back said the brand was XTIME. I figured it was a poorly done Timex knockoff and turned it over to see the face. The front was odd to say the least. Instead of your typical 12 hours and 60 minutes there were 10 numbers and 100 minutes. Also, instead of the big hand and little hand as I was taught in school, there was a medium hand. The big hand was on the 2, the medium at the top and the small hand on the 13th tick. I didn't know what to think of it so pulled out the knob to set the time and started moving the hands. I moved the hands counter-clockwise so that the Big hand was on the 1, the medium on the 9 and the little hand on the 89th tick, then pushed the knob back in. That's when it got weird. I got dizzy momentarily and had to close my eyes and steady myself. When it passed I opened my eyes and things felt... different. For one, it wasn't raining. Also, there were a lot more people out on the streets, but they were dressed funny. Lots of kids in ripped flanel shirts and boots. Lots of women with shoulder padded jackets and big hair. And everywhere I looked there was Calgary Flames signs and posters, all of them proclaiming "STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!". What was going on? There was Herald box nearby so I looked inside. The date on the paper said September 6, 1989! I had travelled back in time! I had to sit down. While trying to collect my thought I was staring at the watch I had picked up. Those hands and the weird numbers must mean something. It took me longer than I should admit but finally I put it together and realized that I had moved the hands to the 1,9,89 positions. This watch allowed me to time travel!! The ideas started flowing. I could go back and plant the first geocache before Jeremy, I could buy Microsoft and Apple stocks, I could stop myself from going to that bar that night when... well, never-mind. However, I had a task today and nothing was going to stop me, not even breaking the temporal laws of physics. I happen to know a lot about the history of the location of this cap. For example, I know that on February 19, 1967 construction of the tower started with a ground break ceremony. I also know that on September 6, 1987 the Olympic Flame Cauldron was installed in order to help celebrate the Olympics. I knew what I had to do. I set the watch to 1987 and pressed the button. The world only changed a little, all of the Flames posters were gone and there was a large construction zone around the tower. Luckily it was coffee break time. I casually walked over to the zone and spied the Cauldron. I slipped under the barriers and walked the few steps to the base. It was then that I spied my target, there at the base of the tower right on the cauldron was the brass cap that I was looking for. I took a picture of it with my Blackberry and noted the coordinates and elevation on my GPSr and then walked back under the barrier. I eventually came by to this year and am now recording this information. Unfortunately the picture didn't turn out because Blackberrys didn't exist in 1987, but I can describe in detail the cap and markings should anyone desire. As for what other adventures I might have with my new watch? I'll see you on June 25, 2015 when I publish cache #3,000,000. Arrrrrr! 2013-05-04T20:00:00 Found it yayajojo BCP063 - Calgary - Calgary Tower Accura said it all, except I want to add that no one will ever be able to find the secret passageway that David, Spencer and I used to get to the top! TFTBC and the fun. 2013-05-04T20:00:00 Found it Accura BCP063 - Calgary Tower Exactly at the given coordinates - at least so say Rad and yayajojo..... The event at the WWFM - Bridge Over Bubbled Waters,which we unfortunately couldn't attend due to an invite for an early Mother's Day brunch at Sky 360, was apparently being enjoyed by a large group at Edworthy Park this morning. I was keeping an eye on the logs and the Facebook posts. Gardengorilla posted on FB "Where were you this morning...." Well, let me tell you just how yayajojo and I were able to find this elusive brass cap today. We approached the desk inside the tower only to be told that our reservation was for tomorrow, not for today. What a disappointment. Luckily, we were able to reschedule for early afternoon, so we had a couple of hours to wander around downtown and find a few caches. Okay, now where? Yaya wanted to head over, pun intended, to the huge sculpture and cache at The Bow while we planned our strategy for getting to the top of the tower. It was once again a very good thing that we had 7th Wonder with us, because he was the one to eventually find that one. As she was posing in front of the sculpture (see photo) yayajojo was approached by David Crowley of Rafter 6 Ranch riding his horse Spencer (see photo). We were surprised and delighted to meet him. He told us that he and Spencer ride the elevator up to the Observation deck of the Calgary Tower every year to kick off the Calgary Stampede. Spencer was in training for this years' Stampede so he offered to give her a ride up the tower after he walked a bit of nervous energy off of Spencer. The great part was, he knew of a secret passage all the way to the top! We left yaya in his very capable hands and rushed back to the tower to wait for them on the observation deck. As we were waiting we enjoyed the sunny view out of the windows. Yaya's baby brother, our newest "Rad" cacher, was giggling and cooing over something he was seeing (see photo). His baby talk alerted us to something out the window..... What? Bubbles floating by? Lots of them! They must be coming all the way from the flash mob event at Edworthy Park (see photo)! Oooh, they were pretty. Just then it was time for a diaper change, so Rad's mom and I took him to the ladies room. A window was open inside the room past which those big, beautiful bubbles were drifting. Was this the same window through which Everhollow was able to spot the brass cap with her mirror? I was by this time holding Rad in my arms while his mom was washing her hands. Standing on the upturned garbage with him, I peeked outside. He reached out for one of the bubbles! That bubble was so strong it enveloped him and carried him upward through the air among all the other bubbles! As we watched we spotted yayajojo with David and Spencer at the very top. She called to us that all was good and plucked him gently out of the air as he drifted close to her. "Meet you at the bottom", she called. And that we did. She was able to get the numbers needed from the cap and make it safely down with her baby brother in her arms with the help of David and Spencer the tower-climbing horse. The knowing little smirk on Rad's face told us he was already becoming a fine, adventurous cacher with many things to learn from his big sis and many true lies to tell about his exploits. And now you all know where we were this morning. TFTBC and the admittedly true lie adventure. 2013-04-20T20:00:00 Found it j_peg BCP063 - Calgary (Calgary Tower) I thought that I would do something a little different for my participation in the Climb and Run for Wilderness. After signing up for a single climb at the base of the tower, I headed for the stairwell, pulled out the ol' pocket transmogrifier, and turned myself into an owl (in honour of the AWA logo). As I flew up the stairwell, I was surprised that not a single human took notice. I didn't think that owls were that silent in flight, perhaps they were just too exhausted to notice. After completing the upward spiral and locating a vent to fly out of, I soared around the olympic torch cauldron and located the nearby cap. I then took note of the required numbers, flew back down the outside of the tower and returned to the geomobile before retuning to human form. Thanks for the brass! 2013-03-30T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv Jimigigilo and I spent the day caching around Cochrane. I had to drop him off at work on 17 Ave. and then was heading up to West Nose Creek Park to pick up a few more caches. I realized that I would be driving right passed a brass cap that I've been wanting to get for awhile now. Now to figure out how to get to BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) N 51° 02.658 W 114° 03.787. Think, Think <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_8ball.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> how to get this brass cap. That's it, last time M sent me on a mission, Q gave me a special GPS with high pressure compressed nitrogen inside. I could use it like a jet pack for a 1 minute burst. So I reached into my glove compartment and grabbed the GPS then went in the trunk to grab my parachute. When I got to the base of the tower there were a few muggles coming after me <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_angry.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. I quickly pulled out the GPS and let out the gas. Away I went, got to the cap and completed my mission. Then I did my BASE jump and got back to the car without any more trouble <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_approve.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. You can call me Gumby, James Gumby. Thanks for the excellent mission and the awesome brass cap prize.

We have seen "close encounters" so we instantly knew that the aliens found a way to communicate back to us. It didn't take us long to figure out the correct response and just after we had signaled back using our portable laser pointers (amazingly powerful!) we were transported to the top of the tower! A quick search and we found the the cap right next to the survey marker stake! Thanks for the great cap and adventure! 2012-12-30T20:00:00 Found it Joci Found BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) at 11.01.AM. N51*02.658 W114*03.787 Elev.:1238.3m. I went up to Calgary to pick my girlfriend up at the airport yesterday. It was late at night when she got in, so we stayed in a hotel for the night. We got time today and I sad let us go downtown to look around a bit before heading home to Lethbridge. I wanted to get this marker off of my list for a long time now so here was the perfect time for it. Once we got to the tower it was an easy find because I was reading the previous logs on the cache page. I just do not know how come every other cachers have to get up there so difficult way, there is an elevator inside <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Anyways I do not know what else to say about it other than thanx for an other interesting survey marker OFTH. #1078.

I wanted to make Canada Day a special one, so I dressed all in a Red and White spandex singlet down by Eau Claire. No one even batted an eye as I marched alone down Centre Street... what IS this city coming to, when you cannot even get the eye dressed like that. I proceeded to walk to the tower, and with all my will, I walked straight up the outer structure. Really, it was outstanding and unbelievable, but did anyone bat an eye?? Nope! As I was walking up the side, I was screaming at the top of my lungs "O Canada" but still, nothing... Getting to the top was a long hard walk, but I did it and of COURSE, I forgot my camera... so I jotted down the necessary info and decided to fling myself off the building and glide down with my special spandex flight suit. Landing in front of a group of tourists with cameras, I would have thought they would be flabbergasted, but instead they turned and got really excited about a new Starbucks which opened down the street. Typical big city stuff... did not even make the news, except the weatherman mentioned the possibility of precipitation. I think he was talking about me. Thanks for the cap! 2012-04-19T20:00:00 Found it loki226 BCP 063 Calgary Tower. I am told that this cap is only accessible by flying or becoming superman. its a survey reflector in the actual superstructure. Thus I am logging it because I went there with the purpose of finding this cap.

I had a pretty good idea myself, but I was just waiting for just the right time to do this. Naturally I did not tell him how, but he managed anyway. Well, today I'm here to tell my story. I had a vey narrow window to work with so timing was most important. We're not talking about minutes here, we're talking seconds. One slip on a banana peel, one smal trip on the hard packed ice, and it'd be all over. With Murphy's law to contend with, I wanted to leave nothing to chance. I spent the day meditating, thinking of other variations and several alternate plans. Plan B on the plan B, so to speak. I was sure that I was going to be ready. Nothing was going to stop me. It was all or nothing, ready to take the plunge, lock your silver and hide yer daughters kinda-thing. And then... it happened. I met Murphy? No, not that Murphy, my neighbour's brother in law. Murphy. Or was it Murray? I forget. Anyway, Murphy, or Murray, is the toy department manager at Walmart. So, Murray, err--Murphy, arranged for me to meet the man himself. Well, maybe he's not a Man per se, but work with me here. So, Murphy says, to me, "Me, I'ma gonna take my coffee break, juss wait 'ere and see da man when 'e comes in." So I waited and waited. I won't get into the details with the Man, but I can tell you one thing: Ripping through the air at seven hundrend feet above the ground makes it very difficult to snap that picture. You need a very high speed shutter and unfortunately my camera is not quite up to that kind of abuse. Needless to say, the picture never materialized but fortunately I still have that vivid image in my mind and I can reproduce a fairly accurate fascimile of the Brass Cap if necessary. If there is any doubt, I can have the Man himself, St. Nick, verify it and sign it.

After debating whether to even attempt seeking out this brass cap cache, I decided to RISE to the challenge. Besides, I heard the weatherman say the other day they're expecting one of the longest and coldest winters in years and I needed something to LIFT my spirits. With the weather still nice, I figured there's no time like the present and set my sights on making the find. I was too cheap to buy a ticket to the top, wasn't thrilled at the prospect of climbing the stairs and my helicopter is in for an oil change. So, I called my good friend at Greenpeace who was more than happy to oblige. With ascenders, harnesses, ropes and, of course, helmets (not sure how much this would help if one actually fell from this height), we began to scale the tower. Good thing downtown Calgary is a ghost town at night because we made our ascent under the cover of darkness and no one was the wiser. I’m not a big fan of heights, so I kept my eyes closed and had to keep telling myself, “Don’t look down, don’t look down...” Within minutes we were at GZ and I had my hands on the prize. Doh! Forgot a pen! I quickly memorized the number on the cap and we made our descent. My Greenpeace friend wanted to unfurl a banner, but I told him it would probably just get muggled and not to bother. I must say the whole experience TOWERED above anything else I've done and I can't help but feel I’ve reached a new level in my caching adventures. I’m truly inSPIREd. Oh, by the way, I think I left my flashlight at the top (I do hope I remembered to at least turn it off). If the next cacher wouldn’t mind grabbing it for me, that’d be swell. 2010-10-20T20:00:00 Write note green ducks BCP063 Calgary I did not log correctly...hopefully this one will be added to list now! Thanks to van der Decken for his help and effort in keeping these organized! 2010-10-03T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) Well I found one small brass cap about 61 m north of GZ in the middle of the sidewalk. The cap was about 3 cm in diameter and had no date or numbers on it. So, I then assumed I had the wrong one. Upon reading further about this, it turned out the one I was after was at a considerable higher elevation and in the direction of my compass. I pondered as to what to do next. I had no money so I could not buy a ticket or rent a helicopter so I thought some more. Then it dawned on me. I had two very good geocaching friends, one is a green duck and the other is a bird (is the word) so although one is in Halifax or PEI right now and the other is in Montreal, I could enlist their help and I did make the urgent request for assistance. They complied and flew out here very fast and took me to this special brass cap. Thanks for the fun and the challenge. 2009-11-17T20:00:00 Found it Andronicus BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) Well, I parked near by, and started walking around trying to find this one. The GPSr was a little bit funny due to the tall buildings everywhere, so it took me a while. After miles of up hill (who know there was that much elevation downtown), I found it right were the hit suggested. TFTFC (Thanks for the Funny Cap) 2009-09-01T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP063 Calgary Tower After I parked and walked to the base of the tower I realized that it was going to be a challenge to get to this cap. Not sure if you do this, but sometimes when I'm thinking about things I play with an elastic band. I found myself with an elastic in my hand as I pondered how to get to this cap. Then it hit me...if I could find enough elastics I might be able to rig up something. So, I cleaned out every office supply store in the downtown area (sorry to everyone who couldn't find any elastics) and I started braiding them together. Now I had a huge elastic which I attached to nearby window cleaning platform. I had to convince the window cleaner that it was all going to be ok - he wasn't so sure. After talking with him for a few more minutes he gave in. So, he went up to the top floor (which gave me a little tension on the elastics as I held the other end and waited on the sidewalk) and I was almost set. I just needed to get the right angle and a bit more tension.... Thankfully, there was a passing bus ansd I had my bus pass in my pocket. I jumped on and watched as the elastic stretched and stretched. Then, at just the right moment I lept from the bus and I went up, up, up and up. Good thing I had the right tension and angle. I landed only a couple meters from the cap, got the info and easily found my way down (I had a huge pile of elastics to cushion the landing) Thanks for the Brass Cap! BTW: anyone looking to buy any elastics - send me an email. 2009-08-04T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP063 Calgary Tower This one was so easy! I just used my jet pack to fly right up there and get the required data. I found the jet pack out back of Crown Surplus last year while I was searching for some ammo cans and purchased it for $19.99. I have used it a few times to get up and down mountains quicker and save wear and tear on the old knees. Actually, van der Decken and I used it to get up Baldy a few weeks ago while looking for a cap. He just hung onto my boots and we rocketed up there in a few minutes. In our logs we said it took us 2.5 hours, but that was a lie as I didn’t want to reveal my secret. I guess the cat is out of the bag now! Thanks for posting this most interesting cap ofth. 2009-04-21T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) Posted N51° 02.658 W114° 03.787 GPSr N51° 02.659 W114° 03.786 I have spent many a sleepless night trying to figure out how to get this cap. I don't have access to the Hubble telescope, military satelllites, helicopters, super pick-up trucks, time machines, x-ray lenses... so I'd have to try something else. Think... think... think... Ahhh, I'm not smart enough to come up with anything so I decided to hire the help of a Super Genious... Wile E. Coyote. My old friend from my childhood days was glad to take a break from chasing that Super-Sonicus-Tastius Road Runner. We met at the base of the tower where he had a few crates all with the Acme Corporation written on them. His first suggestion was to eat the Acme Triple Strength Fortified Leg Muscle Vitamins. I had instant super strength in my legs and took a run at the tower. Instead of running up the side of the tower I ended up smashing right into the side of the building. Once I regained consciousness he opened up the Acme seesaw. People were starting to gather from inside the tower to watch what was going on. I sat on one side of the seesaw and he dropped a boulder from an adjacent building to propel me to the top. As expected, when he dropped the boulder, a shadow appeared over my head and I managed to hold up a "RIP" sign before I was knocked unconscious yet again. After waking up again, he pulled out the Acme catapult. Now even more people started to gather around us from inside the building. I sat in the catapult, pulled the cord and the catapult merely flipped upside down and smashed me into the ground. I managed to stay conscious but I was starting to have doubts on getting to the cap today. What is it with these Acme products? As more people gathered from inside the tower, next up was the Acme longbow... well to simplify the log you can imagine what happend with that one. Just then, who shows up but that old Burn-em-Upus-Asphaltus Road Runner. The Road Runner chirps out a "Beep-Beep" and then zips down 9th Avenue. The Coyote throws on a pair of Acme Rocket Powered Roller Skates and chases after him. It was at that moment that I realized that everyone in the tower was now outside watching the spectacle. I took the opportunity to run inside, up the elevator, out the maintenance door, up to the radio mast, snap a photo of the cap and was back downstairs before anyone noticed. Phew! Glad to finally log that one. Numbers have been sent. Thanks for the cap. Not sure if the Coyote got the Road Runner this time... but something tells me he didn't. Beep-Beep! 2009-02-27T20:00:00 Found it Tons_Of_Fun BCP 063 - Calgary Tower Cap As we were pulling out of the Bean-N-Gone drive-thru in downtown Calgary, my GPS beeped. A Brass Cap in downtown Calgary, sweet! So I turned to Jay and said, let’s go get it. We pulled up to the Calgary Tower and sighed, I hope it’s not where I think it is. After reading the cache page and not seeing any radio antenna nearby, my thoughts were right, it’s on top of the tower. We were baffled for a bit, trying to think of how other people would’ve been able to find this cap. So, my first thought was to scale the tower. But a scrawny stoner and a fat man like me didn’t get more than 3 feet off the ground. So now what to do? Jay suggested calling in a favor with our old angel friend Bartelby. But he quickly texted us back that he and Loki were busy. With Loki and Bartelby not available, Jay said “Tons_Of_Fun, maybe there is a hint in previous logs.” What an idea. Since this cache is found so often, it takes a while for previous logs to show up. During the wait, Jay and I headed over to the closest Quick Stop to grab a snack. After reading some of the logs, we were no further ahead. A guy parachuted and another found a medieval catapult. I didn’t see a catapult nearby, but I did see an advertisement for a parachute site. No, no luck. They have a weight restriction, and I was over the limit. We didn’t have the money to rent a helicopter like others had done. What to do? Jay looked at his watch and said, “Lunchbox, we gotta head out here, I’m getting hungry man.” We looked down the road and saw a Mooby’s restaurant. We walked down the street, and grabbed a burger and shake, and walked back to the car. By this time, the sun was starting to set, and the day was lost. Jay and I got in the car and started to leave the tower. Jay and I looked quite angry as we left the cap site. When all hope was lost, and we were just pulling onto MacLeod Trail to leave the city, Loki called us up and said they had a minute. Loki and Bartelby met us at the Chinook Center and flew us up to the Calgary Tower; we took a quick picture at the cap, and headed back down to the Chinook Center. Loki and Bartelby dropped us off at the car and headed back to heaven, and we got back onto MacLeod Trail to leave the city. As we got on the Deerfoot, Jay said, “We should head to the mall and see if William is still staring at the sailboat.” Both of us laughed as we headed back for Jersey. Thanks for the cap OFTH. Pic to follow. ToF PS: If you haven't seen Kevin's movies, this wont make any sense at all. 2008-06-21T20:00:00 Found it nt210 BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) This one sticks a little further out of the ground than most brass caps, making it a relatively easy find. Email sent & confirmation received. 2008-04-30T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP063 – Calgary Tower N51° 02.658 W114° 03.787 Mrs. GeoK first tried for this brass cap shortly after we started geocaching almost 2 years ago. Her search of the sidewalk area in front of the Calgary Tower was not successful, so she went home and did a little more research which revealed the elusive brass to be installed at the TOP of the tower, keeping company with the giant Olympic torch gas burner!! Now Mrs. GeoK is deathly afraid of heights (notwithstanding her successful traverse of “the ledge” to summit Yamnuska last July), so scaling the tower was out of the question. And after reading about the misadventures of the fisherman who used his fishing pole to make the ascent, we ruled out that approach too. Extending mirror? Somebody’s already done that. Mrs. GeoKs’ brother is an accomplished climber, but there would be city by-law and permit issues to sort through. Hmmmm, what to do, what to do? If only Mrs. GeoK had some of the powers of Mrs. Incredible. A loooooong neck would give her the requisite bird’s eye view. Unfortunately, while Mrs. GeoK does have some supermom capabilities, she is definitely not a super hero. But what about the most powerful “eye in the sky” – the Hubble Space Telescope? It turns out that anyone (even geocachers) can apply for time on the Hubble telescope; there are no restrictions on nationality or academic affiliation. Competition for telescope time is extremely intense, but we only needed a “snapshot observation” (i.e. 45 minutes or less of telescope time). Snapshot observations are used to fill gaps in the telescope schedule which cannot be filled by regular GO (general observer) programs. The Hubble carries several instruments for making observations: the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR), the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) and the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS).We did considerable research before determining that the ACS would be most appropriate for our needs. Then we submitted our application…and waited…and waited…and waited… Today we received word that a 10 minute window unexpectedly opened up in the Hubble’s schedule, so the ACS was programmed to take multiple photos of our target. We were in luck – the giant Olympic torch wasn’t lit, the migrating geese only blocked 3 of the images and the forecast snow was nowhere to be seen. So we finally have in hand the requisite information to log this challenging brass cap and our e-mail is already on its way to outforthehunt. The timing is perfect, as this brings us to find #1500. We’re glad to have this one behind us and look forward to hearing how the next cacher “finds” this challenging cap. BTW - we’re not quite sure how taking photos of a survey marker takes precedent over the study of colliding galaxies. Maybe the Director of the Space Telescope Science Institute is a geocacher?! 2007-11-12T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP063 Calgary Tower This was one cap that I never thought I would be able to get but today a series of serendipitous events created the perfect opportunity. I was dining with some business associates (a secret club of superheroes) at the Tower restaurant when a couple of radio antennea technicians who had been servicing the major communication network mounted atop the tower entered the restaurant with a plea for help. A major electrical short had occurred completely wiping out all power to the antenneas disabling all downtown radio and cellphone communication (you may have experienced a temporary outage if you were in the core of the city at that time). I immediately jumped into action and followed them up to the base of the radio tower. The wire connecting the power supply to the radio masts was completely disconnected so I wedged one end of my aluminum head into the main supply and the other end between the contacts on the mast. With 4800 volts flowing through my conductive canoehead, communication was instantly restored to the city center. I maintained this stance for about 2 1/2 hours as the technicians made the repairs. (I was very thankful that there was no lightening today as I still have a major phobia since the episode on the portage in Algonquin Park). With the canoe wedged firmly in place and the electricity coursing through my brain, I glanced down and low and behold, Brass Cap #063 was at my feet. I took note of the date and cap numbers and sent them off to OTFH. The technicians had said they would put my name forward for a City of Calgary award of merit but I respectfully declined and stated that getting this Brass Cap was all the reward I needed. What more could one ask for ... lunch with superheroes, preventing grid lock in the downtown core and getting a brass cap smiley. Life is good! 2007-09-23T20:00:00 Found it Scratch_ BCP063 - Calgary (Calgary Tower) N 51 02.658, W114 03.787 What a whirlwind trip to Calgary. We stopped in town on Saturday afternoon to see a 'private' concert at the Stampede Corral. The Yellowpages put on a customer appreciation event featuring the comedy stylings of Jay Leno, and the Barenaked Ladies. We met up with a few friends (including Mcpl. Paul Franklin - who placed the still unfound Mt. Temple geocache) and left the hotel for dinner before the show. While walking to Milestones from the hotel my wife noted that we had left the GPS at the hotel as she knew of several caps on the way to the Corral, including the illustrious Calgary Tower cache. After a lovely dinner (8oz steak with Guinness and a few too many Ceasars) we walked to the train station and boarded a c-train for the short ride to the venue. Along the way I relayed the story of the cap at the top of the tower to Paul. Of course - he didn't have the chair when he placed the Mt. Temple cache, but he figured that if anyone could get us to the top - it was him. We made it to the show and had our photo snapped at the Yellow Pages event, and settled in for an evening of frivolity. Of course, having a celebrity along for the night helped as Paul was blackberry messaging his 'contacts' throughout the performance. After Leno, BNL Rocked the CRAP out of the Corral for the 4500 guests. After the show - the 'blackberry text storm' was justified as two large and well dressed 'rock-star-entourage' types approached the wheelchair seating area to escort us backstage! After being processed through a melee of Grey Stetson wearing security types we arrived backstage to find Jay noshing a platter of Corral Nachos and sucking back a real (Canadian) beer. After some random chitchat about cars and the US and A Stephen Page (of BNL) approached us to thank us for coming. We're used to that crap when Paul is around. After some discussion about the show, and checking out the burns on Stephens head from the ill placed show pyrotechnics conversation turned somehow to outdoor pursuits. (Ask anyone at the show - "Brian Wilson" was a laugh riot as Mr. Page lost it on stage laughing about the hair torching sparks). We volunteered that we were geocachers, and after a brief explanation Jay suggested we go for a ride in his rental car (a classic Buick that seats 9) and visit a cache or two. We logged a cache at Olympic Plaza while BNL played decoy for the homeless, belting out an acapella version of "The Old Apartment" and mentioned the concept of 'benchmarks'. Jay was enthusiastic about seeing more 'Canadian Culture' and BNL are just nuts - so the target of opportunity at only a few one-ways south was the tower cache. Security was a breeze even at 12:30 am in the rain... when you have a pack of Rock Gods and Jay Leno - locked doors magically seem to open at the hands of those wearing heavy leather belts and logoed ball caps. The roof was slippery in the rain but with a human chain and Paul as the anchor leg inside (hard to get a chair on the roof - Calgary's wheelchair accessibility is lousy by the way) Mrs. Scratch clambored for the cap - without a camera or pen! Ed's phone was kaput (Fido) but Andy came to the rescue with his iPhone and we snapped the photo with it. After returning to the car where Jay had been patiently keeping it idling (burning through enough fuel to kickstart drilling in northern alberta again) we had the gang drop us back at the Westin. A few high fives and thanks for the shows later - Team Scratch_ retired to the comfortable 'heavenly bed' at the hotel for a much deserved slumber. Waking sunday - we both realized that we hadn't gotten Andy's phone number - or left ours! Andy - when you read this - please message us so that we can pass the numbers from the cap on to OFTH! For those who would like to know more about Paul - check out his book - out now! http://www.brindleandglass.com/books/the_long_walk_home.htm 2007-03-06T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP063 Calgary Tower I got home from my road trip and as I was walking in the door my phone rang, It was from a CPS friend of mine letting me know that a ride-a-long on the Hawcs helecopter was open if I could make it to the airport in 25 minutes. I jumped in the truck and off I went. I pulled in to the paking lot with 2 minutes to spare. Running to the sraging Area I got a short two minute briefing, and off we went. After we where in the air the pilot asked me if there was anything I wanted to see. I asked him if that included the Tower, with the nodd of his head we where off. In route I explained what I was looking for and after the 3 minuted flight the pilot asked for permission to "Push in on the tower" and was granted permission. With the flick of a switch on came the spot light and after about 20 seconds of searching we spotted the marker. Click, Click and we where off. TFTH. 2007-02-27T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri BCP063 - Calgary Tower. Wow. My first terrain 8.5..... Let me start out by saying that yes, I am afraid of heights. I don't like going into the tower at the best of times, but lemme tell you, trying to see the cap was an all-consuming deal for me. "Why not go to the Calgary Tower today?" Neko asks. I think "sure, there's a cap there that we can get," and agree. I carefully pack my camera bag with the essential lenses, etc. that would be required to take pictures through walls in order to use my 200mm zoom lens to get a photo of the cap. (I also packed some normal lenses, just to ensure that I could get some normal photos, too.) When we got up to the top, I was greeted by an unwelcome sight about which I had forgotten: the glass floor. Did I mention that I was afraid of heights? So, after taking a look down to see how far it is (see attached photo) and after the cat walked out onto the glass floor (see attached photo), I whipped out my x-ray lens to take a photo of the cap through the roof of the Tower. (see attached photo.) What I did NOT anticipate was that my xray technique would work QUITE so well. Although I can make out the numbers on the original photo (which I will forthwith email to the cache owner), alas, when it uploads, well, you can see what happened. Thanks for the physics lesson, OFTH! I'm happy to finally log this one! -Neko & Hiiri <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2006-08-05T20:00:00 Didn't find it GeoKs BCP063 Calgary - Calgary Tower Came home, scanned the logs and realize my problem is that we didn't bring any climbing gear. Will have to try again another day. 2006-06-15T20:00:00 Found it Everhollow BCP063 - Calgary (Calgary Tower) N51 02.658 W114 03.787 The Reluctant Cacher said I owed him a dinner out. Nothing but the Calgary Tower Panorama Dining Room would do. This geocaching has been a strain and nothing else would make up for the hardships he has had to endure. There was the time I thought I could walk to a cache after work while he made supper. I hadn’t investigate the missing bridge situation thoroughly enough and had to go about 6 times further than the lying GPSr indicated. I knew I should stop and do this another day but my determination was stronger than my good sense. By the time I got to the cache on the other side of Fish Creek, I was in a panic knowing he would be worried and had to borrow a cell phone and get him to come and pick me up at Votier’s Flats. There was the recent incident in Petawawa where I got lost in the bush (yes, I had my GPSr with me) while I ran off to pick up a quick cache while he got his hair cut. Oh yes, what about the time he came with me and slipped on a large wet rock and not only ended up with bruised ribs for 2 weeks, but got a nasty case of spreading poison ivy? I wasn’t in the good books over that one either. I am a real nuisance on vacation when I plead to go just “slightly” out of the way to pick up a cache. Or when we go ANYWHERE and I have had a chance to check out the possibility of nearby caches. A real nuisance! For the Reluctant Cacher, the only good cache is one where I can go by myself. So dinner at the Calgary Tower was my payment. I tried to enjoy the fine ambience, food and wine, but my mind was really on OFTH’s very nearby brass cap. How could I snag this one, especially in my heels and tight silk dress? How? I tried to keep my mind on the conversation. I tried to enjoy the view. It wasn’t working. All I could think of was a tiny circle of brass with a few, hopefully legible numbers. I excused myself to go to the powder room, my mind swirling with ‘how can I do this’ thoughts. There is a small window! It opens! No one is around. I grab the garbage can and turn it upside down under the window. I reach into my handbag for my compact and flip it open to expose the mirror. I reach way out, way, way out and tilt it this way and that until the sought after numbers finally begin to appear. Yes!! I’ve got them. Back at the table, I finally relax and enjoy my swan shaped cream puff, filled with chocolate whip cream. Thanks, OFTH. 2006-02-15T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP063 Calgary Tower N51º 02.658 W114º 03.787 I write this log from the ICU at the Rockyview. And now, the rest of the story… Man oh man! Caching has been creating havoc with my quality fishing time, I just had to something about it. Maybe, just maybe, I could get at least get a bit of fishin’ practice while caching. Could I nab that brass cap with a well placed cast. I grabbed my rods and headed down to 9 Ave. After surveying what I had to do, I thought the Sage TCR 7100 10 footer with the Islander LX 4.8 Gold reel loaded with some Airflo 40+ weight forward shooting line and a whole crapload of backing line would do the trick. I carefully tied on a Bow River buggar. I proceeded to make a few false casts to try to get my rhythm right. How sweet it was to see that shooting line climb upward. But… but… it fell short of its mark. What a disappointment. The rod, reel and line combo just didn’t have it. Okay, on to Plan B. Took the Sage TCR Spey 10751 15 footer and the Abel #5 ported loaded with tons of backing and the Scientific Angler Spey XLT. I tied on this huge damselfly nymph of my own making. Finally, I felt I had all the power needed to shoot that damsel up to the cap. Up it shot. But much to my consternation, it only reached to about the 500’ mark. Okay. Okay. I’ll not be daunted with two failures. Time for Plan C. This time I grabbed my Fenwick 7 foot GW 705 M-2 Golden Wing spinning rod – my good ol’ standby. I only could cross my fingers in hopes that I had at least 625 feet of 2lb diameter/250lb test Fireline loaded onto the trusty Shimano Aero Symetre 1000 reel. I picked my favourite 00 Fluorescent Orange Len Thompson as the lure. Took a few practice casts. The time had come. With a mighty heave forward, I waited until the precise moment to release the line. ZZZZZZZZZiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg! What a sweet sound that is. I watched that old Len Thompson sail heavenward. Up it soared. After a very long moment I heard that satisfying ‘clink’ of the lure hooking on to something a way up there. I cinched down on the brake and started bringing in the line. As I walked slowly toward the base of the tower I realized that I had to do something about reinforcing my grip on the rod if my plan was to work. Some carefully placed wraps of duct tape making my hand ‘at one with the rod’ did the trick. The moment of truth had arrived. Slowly, carefully, I started cranking in the line. I was cranking myself up the tower! Each complete crank brought me 27 inches closer to the brass cap. Only 278 more cranks to go. Things were proceeding nicely but high winds and driving snow I encountered on my 200th crank made for some rather dicey moments but I worked through it. Crank- 27”. Crank – 27”. Crank – 27”. I edged closer to the cap. I got a few incredulous looks at about the 234 crank level as I slowly inched my way past the restaurant and the observation deck. Now it was only 14 more cranks to go. I was starting to get light-headed with the altitude and giddy with excitement as I drew nearer that tiny piece of brass. I reeled myself in and over the eaves. There it was! Just under the radio mast. That good ol’ “00” had hooked itself onto one of the twin lights. Well, to make a long story short, a few more cranks brought me to victory. I quickly memorized the magic numbers on the cap and being a proponent of “catch and release” unhooked the Len Thompson. Uh oh! The trip down was much quicker. I attempted to document my hunt on film but unfortunately the digital camera did not survive the impact on the bottom. And you know, for the life of me, I also had some memory loss. I can’t remember the numbers. I hope you will still let me log it as a find – I’d hate to miss out on that “smilie” after this life altering hunt. Please. Please. Please. Thanks OFTH for the awesome challenge and the hunt. “Nurse, would you increase the flow on that morphine drip?.............Please!” 2006-01-06T20:00:00 Found it Smrt_geer BCP063 Calgary - Calgary Tower Well it was about time I found this one. As a few of you know, I recently purchased a new vehicle. It's a 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 with a Double Cab. A great vehicle for puttin the family in, bootin' around and getting to some of those tough-to-get-to caches and caps. I made sure to get the off-road suspension package and the optional rocket-propultion anti-gravity system as well. I'm anxious to get into the back-country and test out the off-road worthiness of the truck. However, today was the day I got to try the optional rocket-propultion anti-gravity attachment. It's great! Just manouver the truck onto the R.P.A.G. attachment, push a button, and click! You've got 1,700 kN of thrust at your disposal! Powered by three Rocketdyne SSME engines propelled by LOX/liquid hydrogen, I had no trouble getting the elevation I needed to fly over the Calgary Tower and snap a quick pic. The pics came out kinda blurry - I guess 18,000mph is a little too fast for my camera. Anyway, here's some pics of my new truck and the attachement. Thanks for the cap OFTH!! (My 900th cache!!) 2005-11-15T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP063 Calgary (Calgary Tower) What a glorious day. I had just finished watching the sing-along version of the Sound of Music at the old Uptown Theatre and was humming Climb Every Mountain as I walked downtown. Off in the distance I could see the Calgary Tower. What a beautiful site. I daydreamed of being the first to officially log the brass cap on the top of the tower. Oh how I have tried… There was the time I made reservations in the restaurant and then proceeded to check all exits and stairwells looking for a route to the top, with no success. And how about the time when I tried to pass myself off as an official from Alberta Survey Control and I needed to view and polish that lovely brass cap on top of your tower. I got no further than the front desk. Perhaps though, today was different. There were signs at the base of the tower saying “Caution, window washers above”. This must be my lucky day, first the Sound of Music and now this, an opportunity to view the elusive survey marker. I had recently completed an introductory climbing course, how hard could this be. I grabbed my climbing harness and other necessary equipment out of my backpack and proceeded to hook myself up to the rope. Now began the arduous task of ascending the tower. It took a little longer than I expected but I reached the window washers and they were not too pleased! They helped me onto the platform and then headed to the top of the tower. We soon reached the top. Security was going to arrive at any moment. I needed to spot the brass cap and get the pertinent info, ASAP. Ahh, there it was by the edge. I could hear my Dad’s voice in my head, “Redrouge, you stay away from the edge, you could fall and then your mom would never talk to me again.” He was always so nervous with heights. I squirmed over to the edge and knelt down to the cap. I then committed the numbers to memory. Ahh, Alberta Survey Control 19## ###.##. It was a sight to behold. I then felt a firm grip on my shoulder and looked up and around to see a Calgary Tower security guard. Well my trip down should be a little easier! 2005-11-06T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP063 - Calgary Tower I worked beside this cap for years, but couldn't figure out how to get to it. I decided to try yogic flying, and sure enough that did it. 2005-10-01T20:00:00 Found it Stig Figger BCP063 - Calgary (Calgary Tower) Yeah, I was getting nervous when Mr. Speedy was taking so long and I wanted to find his cell phone to call his Parade back at the hotel. I mean, how exactly was I going to explain searching through the pockets of a lifeless body (with flared nostrils) in the back seat of a van I didn't own illegally parked downtown in a city in which I don't reside? Who should come strolling by to offer help but Mayor Dave Bronconnier (born on October 7, 1962). He introduced himself as a third generation Calgarian (his great grandmother was born in Calgary in 1895), who grew up in the southwest community of Glenbrook and attended Viscount Bennett High School. "Really?" I said. "Really" he responded. Before asking me what was going on, Dave mentioned that he enrolled at the University of Calgary but left after a short while to pursue work opportunities. He later worked for the City of Calgary Electric System and for Alberta Government Telephones and then in 1983 started a small construction company. In 1987, Dave and his business partner founded First General Services. The company specializes exclusively in insurance restoration and fire damage repairs and now employs 15 people. "I've got a buddy who's essence floated to the top of the Tower to find a survery marker. It's part of a game." "Oh. Geocaching! I love it! My screen name is 'cowtownmayor1'. Don't you just hate all the frickin' micros around here? And puzzle micros at that. And why is it so hard for folk around here to cover the damn regular caches back up? Anyways, I prefer Edmonton's caches...now those are quality. Yeah BCP063 is a toughie, unless you've got pull." "Pull. You mean you've actually seen the cap?" "Seen it. Touched it. Logged it. Here, email these numbers to OFTH to log the find." (He whipped out his PDA and showed me the numbers.) "I'm worried that my buddy is taking so long. And that he won't recombobulate if he doesn't return soon." "Sucked out his nose, was he?" "Yep." "Let's wait one more minute before we call my aides for help." Thankfully, Mr. Speedy floated down right after, recombobulated like the dickens, and confirmed the numbers that Bronconnier gave me. We said our goodbyes ("See you on the trails!" he said) and we continued on to BCP064. TFTBCP! (Joint raid find #24) 2005-10-01T20:00:00 Found it Mr. Speedy BCP063 - Calgary (Calgary Tower) One of many cache/cap done during our Calgary cache raid. We knew this one was going to be a challenge, but we didn't quite know how much! As we got close, we realized what we were up against. What to do? What to do? Then I remembered that when I was a kid I was able to get out of my body and float at the ceiling of my room at night. I thought, hey, if I could do this here, I might be able to go all the way up and see the cap. So I layed down on the back seat of the car and started relaxing. All of a sudden I started feeling weird and then vlam! I got sucked out of my body through my nose cavities... I then felt really light and started ascending really fast to the the top. It was kinda scary! The whole time, I could see my body in the car at the base of the tower. When I got to the top, I located the cap quite easily (it was well marked) and was able to cleary see the numbers on the cap. I wasn't carrying a camera (you can't bring anything with you on such a trip) so no picture of the cap today, but I think Time took a picture from below. Not sure if we can see me on it, probably not! That was a neat experience and the view from up there was really interesting. I had to get back down quickly though, as my caching buddy, Time, was starting to get worried about me. Thanks for a real challenge OFTH. Mr. Speedy [This entry was edited by Mr. Speedy's parade on Tuesday, October 04, 2005 at 1:01:01 PM.] 2005-08-11T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP063 - Calgary Tower N51 02.658 W114 03.787 Wow, this was one of our toughest cap finds. We checked on all sides of the Tower, the tracks, inside, you name it we were there. Suddenly The_Master_11 checks the cache notes and says it's up there. Oh no under the mast - up there! So into the tower we go and right up to the observation area. We quickly found the stairs to the roof, but the GPS signal was bad. We popped out on the dome and low and behold below the mast was BCP063. Talk about windy up here today, but another successful hunt. TFTH there OFTH. 2005-05-21T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP063 This one has been perplexing me for some time as to how exactly I could log it. I tried the commando route, but after other cachers had already made the attempt, Calgary's finest were much more prepared to deal with my attempt, and I didn't even manage to get off the ground. My belief in causality is far too high to attempt time travel, so that was out. Bribing a maintenance worker seemed like the likely option, but after my previous commando attempt, they were on the look out for me, so that didn't work either. In the end, the obvious solution occured to me. I'd hire a helicopter, and strap myself to the underside. When we got close enough to the cap, I whipped would whip out my camera and take a picture. Now if you've never been in the position of being strapped to the underside of a helicopter trying to manipulate a camera, you can hardly appreciate the difficulty that this imposed. After nearly dropping the camera twice, I did eventually manage to snag a shot, and told the helicopter pilot that we could leave. On my way out, I grabbed a vanity shot of the tower for my scrapbook and counted the job well done. Got back home, and downloaded the images, only to find that the close up image of the cap was blurred beyond all recognition. Fortunately though, my vanity shot came through OK, so I'm posting that here as proof that I was actually there, and did in fact spot the cap. 2005-05-17T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP063 - Calgary Tower "A time machine?!?" I asked my buddy. "Yup, and it works too!" he replied. "You look real excited by it. I'll bet you're thinking of exploring all kinds of exciting eras in history!" "Nope," I said, "I'm thinking I may finally have a chance to snag BCP063!!" My buddy looked at me kinda funny, but whatever. So, with a quick jaunt out to Radio Shack to snag a new flux capacitor (everyone knows you need one of those for a time machine) I wound up my geobuggy to 88 miles an hour and used the lightning hit pictured below to power me back to 1967, when the Calgary (then Husky) Tower was being built. No security in those days, and fewer chances to get caught climbing up. Unfortunately, I arrived too early, and had to chill out for a few weeks in the groovin' sixties listening to some funky Jefferson Airplane until they finally put the mast up there. Not too many geocaches to go find back then. I actually had to do a few letterboxes instead!! See the pic I took of the tower construction just before the mast was installed. Anyway, then I climbed up, as pictured, and finally snagged the numbers needed to log this one. Whew, finally!! Now, how the heck do I get back to the future?!? Thanks for the cap anyway. [This entry was edited by Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo on Wednesday, May 18, 2005 at 12:13:36 PM.] 2005-03-07T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP063 Boy, was this one ever difficult!! I had to re-program a passing KH-12 Keyhole military satellite that was on duty over Afghanistan and have it do a fly-by to Calgary. Talk about burning fuel, I hope I don't get the bill for that! As it was, these babies have a resolution of about 0.1 meters so it was no problem reading the required info off of the cap. Sweet! As you can see from the pictures, I even got this to clearly read my watch and GPS at the bottom of the tower. Pretty neat! Only bad thing is, you can't see the satellite. They just fly way too high. For those with the proper security clearance, I'll relay the required info on this cap! (One just can't blatantly give out this info). Thanks 2005-03-05T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP063 - also not your typical brass cap. Also pretty easy to spot with the large base that the surveyors put underneath it. For the short people that can't quite read the numbers, the number on the cap is 42. 2005-01-26T20:00:00 Found it The4B's BCP063 - Calgary (Calgary Tower) So we've got some brass cap locations loaded into the GPS and decide to do some in downtown Calgary. "That 063 looks like it's around the Calgary Tower", we say to each other. We walk up and the GPS is pointing us right inside the front door. "Ohhhhh," we say to ourselves. "This one," as we stare knowingly at each other. Is it time to let the cat out of the bag? Is it time to let Spidermn, the Green Goblin, Harry Potter, the CIA and KGB agents, and all the others in on the story behind this monument and why they can have so much fun at this tower. "Sure," we say to each other. So ... In the fall of 1987 The4B's got into the Olympic spirit. Some one had suggested a big huge olympic flame on the Calgary Tower, but how to get it up their. The4B's happen to be into that kind of thing so after a phone call the job was ours. In the picture you can see (if you look real close) B1 flying the big Sikorsky helicopter, lowering the needle (aka BCP063) into place. B2, not afraid of heights, is standing atop the Tower beside the big torch/bowl, directing operations. B3 is flying the helicopter this picture was taken from. And B4 is capturing the moment for all to see. We're glad to see Spidey, the Green Goblin, Harry Potter, the CIA, KGB, and all other geocachers scrambling all over our little project. It makes it all worth while. Oh, and the Olympics were good, too. 2004-10-30T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP063 - Calgary ( Calgary Tower ) N 51° 02.658 W 114° 03.786 I was taking pics for Jonah when suddenly my spidey senses told me that there was a geocache that was perfectly suited for me. Ducking into an alley, I donned the lycra suit ( oh yeah baby, the feel of lycra ) and, GPSr firmly in hand, headed out. However, on the way I had to take care of that pesky XRN95 ... oops, I mean the Green Goblin, who always beat me to a find. I actually saw him at the top and webbed him up against the torch for a while, that'll teach him to beat me to every cache! Base jump my a$$, he took the elevator down! Was actually a bit confused at first because, hey, where was the cap? Then, because I had outforthehunt with me, bundled up like a cocoon, I just dangled him off the edge of the tower and used him as a yo-yo until he screamed the truth to me about the rod. Back at home now, celebrating the evening developing some film. Yes, Peter Parker has a full life. 2004-10-13T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP063- Calgary Tower I was kinda bored last night so I decided to find this cap. But I thought merely climbing the tower would be dull. Ok time for a confession...when i lived in the US I was working there but not as a nurse...I was a Navy SEAL/CIA operative. I decided to use my advanced training to perform a HALO jump from 20000 ft to nab this cap. Under the cover of darkenss and aided by night vison I was able to land atop the Calgary Tower. As I was reading the numbers on the cap I was spotted by KGB agents (everywhere in Calgary!!). As the approached I quickly made my escape by doing a BASE jump from the tower. I was able to glide just far enough to put myself over the bow, cut away and drop into the cold black water. I quickly grabbed my SCUBA that I had planted and made a stealthy getaway. Later that night I secretly sent the information to OFTH, while in the company of a lovely woman, sipping on a vodka martini...shaken not stirred of course! 2004-10-11T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx Seeing as I proposed to my wife atop this structure on New Years Eve 1988, I thought it only fitting to claim this cap, with the help of my Geo-assistant, Stikman. After a liesurely elevator ride to the top,we strolled up to the observation deck, and gained access to the painters scaffolding [which was conveniently left empty for the weekend]Then it got difficult. Stik managed to tie off to the scaffolding, and then got a grapelling hook over the top rail of the towers roof; from there, it was a matter of prussikking up the 11mm climbing rope[as seen on 007's epic flick "For Your Eyes Only"] and replacing the grapnel with an anchor knot- a clove hitch with a 1/2 hitch to finish. As it was windy, Stik had to cling on to the ribs of the towers roof,as I belayed, until we gained the bottom of the 'torchbowl'. That was the crux, as it is slightly overhung. Once we'd grunted and groaned our way up another rope, it was a matter of shinnying up the mast and bingo, thar it was. the hardest part was writing down the cap number while clinging to the radio mast.a couple of quick rappells and we were back to the scaffolding, despite the revolving tower!!All in all, a good days effort; now, it's off to Fish Creek Park!! Stay tuned for pictures!! 2004-05-21T20:00:00 Found it Team Makwa BCP063 - Calgary (Calgary Tower) Was able to scale the whole tower using only a trekking pole and a bungee cord! Actually, I'm making that up: everyone knows you can take the elevator to almost the top! When I got there, Harvey, the security guard was nice enough to let me out on the roof, and made my way from there. Unfortunately, I took my LAST picture of Bit at the Edworthy cap, and sadly, did not have enough film for the tower cap. I hate it when that happens! The cap was hard to read anyway, it's as if the numbers all melted together from the heat of the flame. But wow - what a great view from up there!! And no crowds. In all fairness, though, the terrain rating should be at least 4.5, if not a 5 for this one. Thanks for one unforgettable cache! 2004-04-26T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP063 - The top of the Calgary Tower. Fortunately the wind wasn't howling when my trusty companion chose to toss the lasso. Nor was the Flame lit a top the tower as it just might have burned the rope. [This entry was edited by Cymbc on Tuesday, April 27, 2004 at 11:39:05 AM.] [This entry was edited by Cymbc on Tuesday, April 27, 2004 at 3:25:27 PM.] 2004-04-26T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP063 - Calgary Tower So I said to myself, says I, "Hey, this cap looks like I pass it several times when I'm walking down town - I'll just nose around the sidewalk by the Calgary Tower until I find it". But my mapping software seemed to be pointing more "inside". So, I did a bit of research, and learned: LOCATED ON TOP OF CALGARY TOWER IN DOWNTOWN CALGARY; MARKER IS A HIGH POINT ABOVE THE OLYMPIC FLAME; SIGHT ON CENTRE OF GAS TUBE JUST BELOW THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIO MAST AND TWIN LIGHTS. At which point, I said to myself, says I, "Hmmmmm - I'm not particularly likely to actually see the numbers there - not that I'm that afraid of heights, you understand!!!" I thought about various mechanisms to chase this one down – telephoto lens from a high building or an airplane, bribing a maintenance worker, and so on. Nothing seemed workable. But I still had the dream of finding it. I dragged my trusty companion along to the top of the Petro Canada Building with a very long rope. I used my innate Calgarian lasso skills to rope the top of the Calgary Tower. We wrapped the other end of the rope around the Petro Canada building. Once it was secure, I started moving along the rope, 60 stories above ground level, hand over hand, monkey-style, across 6th Avenue, across 7th Avenue, across 8th Avenue, and finally reached the top of the tower. Once I got there, I took a picture of the brass cap, and signalled my trusty companion to release the rope. I then rappelled down the rope to the ground beside the tower. Unfortunately, some of Calgary’s finest were there waiting for me – my search had apparently caused some concern amongst the citizenry below. More unfortunately, they confiscated my camera, and exposed the film to daylight, and in the excitement I forgot the numbers on the cap. But for a while, I was famous – made the front page of the Herald and the Sun – although the Sun misspelled my name. So, even though I have no evidence, I would still like to log this as a find. Thanks for the fun, OFTH. 2004-03-27T20:00:00 Found it dhenley and max the dog Found BCP063 (Calgary Tower) 2002-06-01T20:00:00 Found it Geomac I have to say, this was the most difficult challenge of my short Geocaching career! First, I verified the coordinates at the base of the Tower than, checking to ensure no one was watching, donned the invisibility cloak I borrowed from Harry Potter. Luckily, it covered the suction disks attached to my feet, elbows, and hands, with an extra-large one around my middle for rest stops. Climbing the outside of the Tower was tricky, since the surface is quite rough, and sometimes the disks slipped! Finally, I made it all the way to the top, but as I was scaling the torch, I noticed it was quite warm! That meant either it had been recently used, or was warming up in anticipation of imminent firing-up! Not about to risk the latter, I beat a hasty retreat, only to realize on reaching terra firma, that I had forgotten to note the numbers on the marker! So, you'll have to be content with this picture (if I can attach it properly!) from the ground. Thanks for the ultimate challenge, though! 1066.038 2003-09-22T02:00:00-06:00 BCP065 Calgary (Bowness) by outforthehunt, Benchmark (1.5/1.5) http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP065.html Calgary (Bowness) Geocache Geocache|Benchmark Calgary (Bowness) outforthehunt outforthehunt Benchmark Virtual 1.5 1.5 Canada Alberta <a href='http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP065.html'TARGET='resource window'>Past Finds for BCP065</a> <a href='https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=17395&LogType=2'TARGET='resource window'>Log Your Find</a> 2.7 M E OF E EDGE ASPHALT PATH 6.0 M N O F N END OF BRIDGE; 2.7 M E OF E EDGE OF AN ASPHALT BIKE PATH; 1.15 M E OF STEEL FL.

It was a fine evening to wander around for awhile near the river. I was a little lost here until I read a useful log by one of the authors I typically consult. The helpful flagging is still on the metal fence nearby. The cap has seen better days but at least the year is clear: 1966. I found that interesting because this might be the oldest cap I’ve seen (other than the DLS section markers from around 1920.) (Edit: Nope, I looked through my found pictures and there are a small handful between 1953 and the early ‘60s). Anyway, TFTBC. 2021-08-21T20:00:00 Found it SpanDino BCP065 Calgary (Bowness) [FOUND] Cap is NOT in good shape. 2018-09-15T20:00:00 Found it TeamDJM BCP065 Calgary (Bowness) {Found} at 11:05am In town for the battlecache wrap up event. Was a quick find. My GPS reads N51 04.760 W114 10.354. Couldn't get any numbers as the cap was completely painted over with pink paint.

I was able to park near the Bowness Bridge and walked across it to the cap location. The cap was very easy to spot as it had been painted a bright orange. The bridge was a bonus - it is nice to see that some historical landmarks are being preserved and noted. Thanks for bringing me to this area. 2017-05-05T20:00:00 Found it Switty 13 BCP065 – Calgary (Bowness) N 51° 04.765' W 114° 10.351' Elevation 1059m I stopped while in the area for another cache.

If I had planned better, I would have grabbed this BC when I was here a month ago looking for a different cache. Alas, I am back today instead. My GPSr bounced around and it couldn't decide which elevation GZ was on until I did the whole loop. Surprisingly, GZ seemed less busy than the last time I was here despite it being warmer and on a weekend this time. It made this find much easier. TFTBC. Proof of all my BC finds for this weekend will be sent in one email. 2017-04-14T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv I found BCP065 Calgary (Bowness).

Ah well, made the find and kept my modest 8 days of find streak alive.. 2017-04-07T20:00:00 Found it Kottbullar BCP065 Calgary (Bowness) The rain was coming down and I was cutting it close to early dismissal at school, but fortunately this one was a quick find today! 2016-12-19T20:00:00 Found it hunthikers BCP065 Calgary (Bowness) Saw a recent report for this one so decided to make the prework detour to look for it and was rewarded with the find. 2016-12-16T20:00:00 Found it uboff TFTBC BCP 065 Bowness I hate the cold!!!!!! 2016-04-27T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP065 Calgary (Bowness) We found this BCP near the river while on a caching trip from Red Deer. After finding a nearby cache we stopped here. The cap was above ground and clean so nothing needed to be done but take some pictures. Thank you Outforthehunt for picking this beautiful area for a BCP Cache! 2016-04-07T20:00:00 Found it TrailGuider BCP 065 Calgary Bowness - A nice walk in the park and an easy find. 2016-02-25T20:00:00 Found it kristaandgeoff BCP065 - Calgary (Bowness) N 51 04.764 W 114 10.351 Out caching with rustywa and GeoMonkey_AB and we were walking right past this one. Couldn't not stop and grab it - much easier without all the snow. Email sent. Thanks for the cap! 2016-02-25T20:00:00 Found it GeoMonkey_AB BCP065 Calgary (Bowness) N 51 04.764 W114 10.352 I arrived at GZ with rustywa and kristanageoff in the dead of the night and wasn't sure how difficult a find this one would be. As it turned out the find was pretty quick and easy and we were on our way again within minutes. Thanks for another quick cap in the city! 2016-02-22T20:00:00 Found it stormcrow50 Bowness Bridge Brass Cap BCP065 Located where it is it has become a repository for a frozen doggy bomb, I removed as much as I could. 2015-06-15T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP065 Calgary (Bowness) Out exploring the Sholdice Park area and stopped by here.

The cap is 1 inch above ground level about an inch away from a 3-inch-high wooden stake with orange flagging. There is orange spray paint on the grass all around the cap. And all this is located about 1 foot west of an orange snow fence. Couldn't miss this one today. Thanks. 2014-05-24T20:00:00 Found it k5¢ents BCP065 - Calgary (Bowness) Earlier today I had discovered a cap at our put in for our river kayaking lessons. As luck would have it I would find this one at our take out. I have removed all kinds of material from caps, snow, ice, sand, mud, grass, leaves, etc. But this was the first time I had to remove a big dog poop found right on top (how rude). Once that dirty job was taken care of, I headed back to the bridge to snap some more photos of the rest of our group coming in. Thanks. 2014-04-29T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP065 Calgary (Bowness) N51° 04.764 W114° 10.350 Crossed the bridge to find this cap.

This was BCP 3/10 for the day. TFTH! Total find: #3162 This entry was edited by uh-oh on Friday, 13 September 2013 at 00:10:56 UTC. 2013-09-05T20:00:00 Found it Baby Wolf BCP065 - Calgary (Bowness) Found with Dad - TheTowerOfSong, he is just logging my finds today 2013-09-05T20:00:00 Found it TheTowerOfSong BCP065 - Calgary (Bowness) Well, this evening I came back here with BabyWolf to find somewhere fun to play. First things first we came over the bridge to look for this one. Last time I was here I was having no luck - today I found it within minutes but it was nicely flush with the ground and the same colour as the dead grass on top of it. Nice to get this one, finally. 2012-08-15T20:00:00 Found it rustywa 8:00 PM BCP065 - Calgary (Bowness) With a homeless guy drinking beer close by (talking loudly to his imaginary friend) and a DNF from the last finder I didn't think I would be lucky. But caps don't get muggled easily so I read some last logs (thanks to the tip from Red90!) and decided that I needed to look closer to the snow fence. And there it was! As I cleared the grass off the cap for a picture I smelled something awful. Indeed, I had just stepped in some 'fresh' dog poop. Luckily it was only on the bottom of one shoe and not on my knees as I had been kneeling in the grass for the picture right next to that crap. Thanks for the cap! 2012-05-06T20:00:00 Didn't find it TheTowerOfSong BCP065 Calgary (Bowness) I have looked for this one before, but I can not find it. Perhaps I need a metal detector? 2012-04-02T20:00:00 Found it MKFmly Up early to do some caching and cap hunting before the long trip home. Even though it was bit fresh there were quite a few pedestrians (two and four legged) about. We relocated to the other side of the Bow to get this one. Had a bit of trouble initially so we went back to the van to review the logs. A note about moving the snow fence helped locate this one.

TFTH 2008-05-20T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP065 Calgary (Bowness) Alt. 1069 metres This was the hardest one of the night. A fair bit of probing was necessary to turn up this cap. There's a large colony of ants near the cap that may never forgive me! Thanks for the cap 2007-09-16T20:00:00 Found it Everhollow BCP065 - Calgary (Bowness) N51° 04.764 W114° 10.350 It took a while to find what turned out to be an easy cap. Thank you for the brass cap. 2007-09-08T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP065 CalgaryBowness We had planned a bike ride along the Bow River pathways today, but had to go check on our "Signal Hill ArtWalk" cache first. When oldest GeoKid went to join Mr. GeoK on a short bike ride to the final coordinates, he discovered that his derailer was really bent, so he couldn't ride. After Mr. GeoK returned and confirmed everything was find with the hide, we loaded up all the bikes and headed off to Bow Cycle. The service dept. at Bow Cycle was excellent, as usual, and they had the bike repaired within a half hour. However, the storm clouds were building and lunch hour was rapidly approaching, so we decided against a long bike ride. That's when Mrs. GeoK noticed this nearby brass cap on the GPSr map screen, so we piled back in the vehicle and headed over. Chain link fence and metal bridge trusses in the area caused a fair bit of bounce. We were just about to break out the magnetic compasses to search for a magnetic anomoly when Mrs. GeoK glanced over the fence and voila - there it was. No digging required, even. Thanks for another one...e-mail will be on the way momentarily. 2007-06-09T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP065 - Calgary (Bowness) Tried to find this one after work yesterday but failed because I left the GPSr at home. Came back into the city today and found it easily as it was nicely exposed. 2007-05-02T20:00:00 Found it The Old Clam Shuckers BCP065 Bowness N51 04.762 W114 10.347 2007-04-01T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri BCP065 - Calgary (Bowness) This was a very fast find while in the area today.

OFTH should have punished me and stricken me from the list of cappers <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" />.

The hint was very helpful this time. Don't quite know how I missed it before. 2005-05-15T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP065 - Bowness/Shouldice Found where Smrtgeer stirred up some dust. You are in the right area. You shouldn't need any fancy scmancy equipment to find this cap. 2005-05-14T20:00:00 Didn't find it Smrt_geer BCP065 Calgary - Bowness Despite lots of dirt kicking and harumphing, this one eluded me. I'm thinking I'm gonna need one of those fancy metal detector thingys. 2005-04-27T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP065 - Bowness, John Hextall Bridge. 2005-04-16T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP065 - Calgary Bowness Ok, finally. We couldn't find this one on two other tries before. Now that someone has exposed the cap it was easy. TFTH. 2005-04-12T20:00:00 Found it GPSlug BCP065 - Calgary (Bowness) Quick as can be. Found the mangled marker post on the ground then the cap. 2005-03-07T20:00:00 Found it Red90 BCP065 ( Bowness ) N51° 04.763 W114° 10.350 Thanks to the 4Bs and Nicolo for draging out the metal detectors on this one. I would have stood on it a dozen times in the past. I had a feeling it was under the dirt somewhere. That whole area looks like it has been upturned for some reason. All of the grass is gone. A two second find now that it is well marked. 2005-03-07T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP065 Calgary Bowness Now that Nicolo had found and marked this one, I've put my co-ordinates in for this log. The posted ones were out by a bit. This was a little bit of a nasty one. Been here 3 or 4 times (of course, with snow on the ground) to no avail. Oh well, success! Thanks 2005-03-06T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP065 ( Bowness ) N51° 04.763 W114° 10.350 After reading the log from The4B's and after a little e-mail from him I decided that this was the time to find this one. As of today I had been here five times before but nuthin'. So, with trusty new metal detector in hand, the hunt began. It was actually pretty easy as the The4B's told me how far from the fence to look and I actually found it in about three sweeps, swept the dirt and there it was. Finally, I can sleep now. p.s. For future seekers, I have placed four rocks & chunks around the cap. 2005-03-05T20:00:00 Found it The4B's BCP065 - Calgary (Bowness) Finally! This one took 4 tries. First, too much snow. Second, still too much snow. Third time, no excuse and it turns out the snow the first two times didn't matter. Fourth time, brought the proper gear. The metal detector found it. We saw the pole indicating where it should be laying in the grass. After a few minutes with the metal detector we found the base of the pole. Dug around but no cap. Then finally got the metal detector out again and a few mintues later it beeped and we had the prize. It was buried about 1/2 inch or so. This was a fun one and the most challenging we've had so far. Thanks. 2004-09-03T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP065- Bowness I had missed this one before, cant see how I missed it last time!!

Had some curious looks from passers-by as I was hunting and finally taking photos. I’ve found you have to look totally official as you take out your notebook and place various and sundry jottings into it. LOL. Thanks again for the caches. 2004-06-17T20:00:00 Found it Team Makwa BCP065 - Calgary (Bowness) - Got this one on my way to drop off "Old Bill the Badger" Travel Bug in "Flames Fever". 2004-04-23T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi Bowness BCP065: N51°04.763', W114°10.350' While driving to another cache, I realized that I was really close to one of these caps, so we pulled over, and quickly found it. A pretty easy find, as long as you're on the grassy side of the fence.

(I may have stepped on it on the way to lunch yesterday, however.) <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I did go for a cycle down to Bowness, and managed to find the cap by the Hextall Bridge. I didn't see it originally, and got my compass out to try the recommended technique. Just as I was about to start, I spotted the cap on the other side of the fence. 2003-09-22T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCAP0065 Calgary,Bowness, near John Hextall pedestrian bridge. Marker is missing.

Thanks for the cap. 2015-06-15T20:00:00 Found it The Cachaholics BCP067 - Calgary Stanley Park I drive down Elbow Dr every day and with my new-found interest of finding brass caps I had a new diversion. Quick find a few metres from GZ. A lovely day to hear the birds twittering. That's brass cap find #3! TFTC. 2015-05-14T20:00:00 Found it dronnord BCP067 (Stanley Park) vert = 1048 This was a great walk to the river this morning. There is much construction after the flood still going on and rightfully so. I spotted Flotsam about 7 feet high in the willows along the trail.The cap was buried under 6" of garbage and leaf matter but a couple of quick scoops with a gloved hand cleared it out. A little rub and the brass sparkled for the money shot. I am afraid I stayed a little longer then I should have as I was off to the town of High River today to try and grab a the new BCP. Shilo`s Cap. 2014-10-06T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP 067 Calgary (Stanley Park) Stopped by for a walk after work. Cap is rather battered. TFTC! 2014-08-12T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP067 - Calgary (Stanley Park) Posted: N51 01.123 W114 04.168 MyGPSr: N51 01.122 W114 04.169 Parked about 50 metres NW of the cap, found the path, and made my way to GZ. There's no longer any guard post (victim of last summer's flood?), but there's some orange flagging in the bush directly above the cap. The cap is about 2 feet north of that bush, about 3 feet south of the dirt path, and in a big hole about 3 inches below ground level. A quick wipe, and the cap was ready for its picture. Nice views of the river. Thanks again. 2014-08-02T20:00:00 Found it danboss BCP067 Calgary (Stanley Park) Was standing next to the new brass cap at Crowsnest Pass this week but only learned at P&B that this was now part of the list. Arrgh, too late! At least I got this one today. Thanks! 2014-06-03T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP067 Calgary (Stanley Park) N51° 01.123 W114° 04.168 Looks like they're still cleaning up after the flood. There were fences up. But I went around and found the cap. Thanks. 2013-09-09T20:00:00 Didn't find it uh-oh BCP067 I don't recall the name of this cap, but According to the last logs for it, we figured it's properly been buried in mud and or debris after the flood. Or maybe we're blind. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> We didn't spend long looking so maybe others will have better luck.

After BabyWolf was done at the park on the other side of the river, I went hunting this cap with only my iPhone 4. Got within 5 m of GZ and saw a few depressions, but after a minute found one filled with leaves that just HAD to be the money. The cap is in good condition, but definitely not flush with ground level! Had it not been for cap hunters before me, I would not have found this nicely recessed cap. I guess it goes to show just how much the river can change an area over time. The cap is quite tool marked, but you can make out the stamps if you look hard enough. Thanks for another great cap. 2013-04-13T20:00:00 Found it rustywa [b]BCP067 - Calgary (Stanley Park)[/b] I was caching with GeoMonkey_AB today and he mentioned that the day should end on a number of finds that can be divided by 5. Since I was at 24 for the day that meant I had to find one more. This one fitted the bill and was a quick find thanks to the excellent excavation work by Sears Tower. Thanks for the cap! 2012-03-17T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP067 - Calgary (Stanley Park) Once again, I had to get the pick and rock hammer out to uncover a cap today!

Ended up within 50m of this cache in our travels, so I couldn't pass it up. Thanks to BVPete for clearing the cap as it was starting to get dark when I got there and I would never have been able to clear it out. Got a nice flash photo of the cap but could only make out a few numbers due to damage. Thanks for the cap! 2009-04-06T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP067 Calgary (Stanley Park) N51 01.128’ W114 04.165’ I don’t think I have ever been on this side of the river in Stanley Park before. It was deserted, which was good, as I was here for quite a while. I found the right spot beneath a few pieces of survey tape and confirmed that the cap was there with my compass. However, it soon became apparent that the cap was in a fairly deep hole full of ice. I went back to the car to get a tire iron and that device proved to be the perfect tool to dig through about 15cm of hard ice. The cap was in fairly bad shape with the date unreadable but the ASCM number was still legible. Thanks for the cap in a park ofth. 2008-10-19T20:00:00 Found it nt210 BCP067 Calgary (Stanley Park) This one is still marked with flagging tape and nicely excavated. I just had to clear out some leaves and brush off a little dirt before taking a picture. 2008-06-27T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP067: Calgary (Stanley Park) I decided (as always! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" />) to leech off the efforts of others and go find this cap while it was still uncovered and exposed. (Thanks van der Decken!) It was a nice easy find today and still will exposed. I added a small piece of survey tape to the bush above the cap to aid future seekers. Such a nice day out I ended up taking an extra long lunch hour specifically to hunt down this cap and then Stash n Dash. I'll post the link to my picture once Photobucket lets me login again -- after all these years it suddenly decided my password is no longer valid. EDIT: Photo is now up. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/DanOCan/Geocaching/0627081203.jpg [This entry was edited by DanOCan on Friday, June 27, 2008 at 3:18:20 PM.] 2008-06-22T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP067 - Calgary (Stanley Park) Alt. 1053 metres The park across the river was well populated with muggles on this sunny afternoon, but I had the west bank all to myself. If you go looking for this one, the hints won't help you; they're a little out of date. The cap is at least 10 centimetres below ground level, and there is no marker stake that I could see. There is however (at the moment) a nicely excavated hole, with enough room to put your GPSr right beside the cap for the beauty shot. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Mother Nature had done a good job of erasing the GeoKs excavation efforts of last summer, but there was just enough of an indentation left in the ground to make me suspicious. Thanks for the cap! 2008-02-29T20:00:00 Didn't find it DanOCan BCP067: Calgary (Stanley Park) Great location but too much melting snow and too many rotting leaves to find this one today. One day when it is drier I'll come back with a compass and/or metal detector and make another attempt. 2007-10-01T20:00:00 Found it wavector BCP067 Calgary, Stanley Park I got to enjoy the beautiful fall weather and managed to see both sides of the river as I found this cap.Finding this cap has prompted me to make this observation. This cap had been re-hidden. If surveryors suspect that geocachers are actually going around covering up these survey marks then they are going to object. If you expose a brass cap then you have performed a public service, if you have a piece of lath and some orange flagging that would be a great addition to the cap, that is what surveyors do when they find one. It may seem contrary to your geocaching nature to assist the next finder but when you are searching for brass caps it is a good practice. Here are my pics 2007-08-30T20:00:00 Found it Everhollow BCP067 Calgary Stanley Park N51 01.123 W114 04.168 Today was my 2nd attempt at BCP067 and even with GeoKs’ prep work, this took a lot of effort to get the numbers with nothing more than a picked up stick. Thank you for the Calgary Transit accessible cap OFTH, and for your systematic approach to locating the elusive Stanley Park cap GeoKs. 2007-08-21T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP067 Calgary Stanley Park N51 01.123 W114 04.168 After recently watching a Nova episode on magnetic shift, I decided it may be a good idea to buy a global compass (Suunto MC-2G) ... just in case it happens in my lifetime. Now, I needed an excuse to play with my new toy so I headed off to BCP067. I briefly looked for this brass cap when hunting for an OBA cache in the area but I did not have a compass and there was no telltale hole so I abandoned the search after a couple of minutes. This time the GPSr was bouncing like crazy +/- 8M so I set up a grid and started the laborious process of scanning the area with the compass. After 25 minutes I got movement in grass up to my knees. I pulled out my trusty Lee Valley collapsable mini hand trowel and started to dig. I was getting pretty discouraged after excavating about 4 inches of dirt and rocks so I rechecked the compass. The compass was still dancing so I kept going and at about 5.5 inches down I hit paydirt. All you brass cap hunters should hustle over and log it while it is still excavated because I don't think it has been found for quite some time. TFTH.

It has seen better days. 2006-07-13T20:00:00 Didn't find it Red90 BCP067 Stanley Park Hmmm, we saw some flagging and searched the area with a metal detector to no avail. There is very fresh lanscaping directly in the the location, so maybe that has affected the cap? 2005-10-04T20:00:00 Found it balloonatic BCP067 Stanley Park Nicolo and I stopped here on our way to Brewsters. This is my second time looking for tis cap. This time the cap was easily found as it has been uncovered and there is even flagging directly above the cap.

Thanks, outforthehunt. 2005-03-28T20:00:00 Found it The4B's BCP067 - Calgary (Stanley Park) Finally! I have this cache on my watch list and saw that Ting found it on the weekend. We seemed to have the same history - not finding in a few previous trips. I figured I knew where it was but didn't have the right equipment to get it. So once I saw that he had found it I knew what I was doing at lunch on Monday. Thanks OFTH and thanks Ting! Much easier following in your footsteps. 2005-03-26T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP067 Stanley Park Finally! Amazing what a Silva compass and screwdriver can accomplish! Tried this one a couple of times with no luck and now I figured the snow and ice would be melted away enough. Should be easy for the next capper. 2005-03-11T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP067 Stanley Park.

Thanks!! 2004-09-11T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP067 listed as Stanley park Actually it's across the river from Stanley park. This one presented a bit of a challenge, finally found a depression where the trust magnet (compass) indicated a cap was likely residing. It was difficult to read too. 2004-09-11T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP067 - Calgary - Elbow Park Pretty little park - difficult to find the cache, though, without any clues, but finally we prevailed. Cache had been covered in mud, and it was a challenge to see the numbers, so I volunteered my geobuddy to get a palmful or two of water from the Elbow so we could clean it up a bit. So when we were finished, I tossed some dirt back onto the cap (cackle cackle) so that the next person would feel the overwhelming happiness associated with finding something that is a bit of a challenge! TFTC OFTH. 2003-09-11T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCAP0067 (Calgary, Stanley Park) Never realized how many curves the Elbow has. Everything was pretty green after this afternoon's squall. 2002-06-23T20:00:00 Found it Geomac Man! This cache jumps around more than the big whitetail I saw today! I just found it on the banks of the Elbow in Calgary, and now it's gone again! Well, fortunately I have pictures to prove I was there! I will send them to you, OFTH, if required. For now, I'll just say I got distracted watching a pair of grey-haired ladies paddling a canoe sideways down the Elbow just a few meters away, while a young lady alone in another canoe asked them if they were the new leaders of the group! They said, Goodness, no! as they were looking about them quite panicky, probably wondering how they were going to get back to the rest of the group, now pulling ashore!

We looked around for the cap when Mr. ManjaLou realized he was standing on it. The cap was all decked out for us in pink flagging too. After taking our pictures we admired the views from here.

Today it was time to head home and we decided to head up Highway 41 (The Buffalo Trail) and grab some caps and caches along the way. Some motorhome problems (no reverse or park) made negotiating rural roads a challenge (to turn around in) but we managed to approach this cap.

The roads were a little sloppy after a recent rain, but that wasn't a major obstacle. This cap is in excellent shape, maybe because it's protected by waist high grass that had to be moved to make the find. Thanks for the cap! 2012-08-19T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP068 - Consort As we got out of the truck for this quick find, three horses - and there riders came up to say "Hi" # 10 of 13 for the day.

After a great night visiting with friends we awoke refreshed to get ready for another day of caching. We also stopped for this cap on a drive by a month ago but with all the construction in the area we did not spend a lot of time seacrching. Today we had a good look around but the manhole with the cap has disappeared likley a victim of the road widening and construction around the intersection. New sidewalks and light standards abound.

We parked just off the main road and I walked back to where I saw a piece of metal stick up out of the lawn with some surveyor flagging on it. There was a depression in the grass full of leaves. I started pulling all the wet leaves out when I discovered the GPSr was showing I was still 20m or so away. whoops! The real cap was across the road under a manhole cover which was easily removed to expose the brass for its shot. (Is it correct to call it a manhole when it is clearly too small for a man?) 2009-11-19T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP069 Beaumont There were a couple of teenagers waiting to cross the road here, but they were more than happy to move aside for the odd/old couple that showed up with a camera to take photos of the sidewalk. 2009-10-03T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP069 Beaumont Posted N53° 20.856 W113° 24.908 GPSr N53° 20.856 W113° 24.909 Well I was prepared for this one after reading the previous cacher's logs. I had a large screwdriver and a small prybar to aid in getting the cover off. I got to GZ and first tried my finger with no luck. I then tried my screwdriver which bent nicely (Memories of a High River cap cover), I pulled out my pry bar and the forks at the end were too big for the hole. I tried to get in around the edge with no luck. A neighbour came out to see what the heck I was doing. After I explained, he seemed keen to help and went to retrieve a crowbar from his shed. It also was too big to latch onto the hole. I ended up haveing to settle for what previous cacher's did and log a photo of the cover. I am now in search of a tool of the proper dimensions to to the job. Home depot here I come.

The divot was immediately spotted and filled with fallen leaves. They were snatched away when lifted out of the hole; keeping more leaves from tumbling in while we dug the cap out better and took our photos...that was the challenge. We were exposing one side of the cap better when the neighbour from the west wandered over to see what we were doing. When we got to the part of the explanation about survey markers where they are helpful in building roads, etc, he said he wished they would build a road through the green space. We had no reply, surprised that anyone would prefer a road beside their house over a green space. He let us be and we continued digging and brushing and scooping out leaves. The cap has taken some heavy hits but only one number is obscured. Thanks for the cap and the cache, outforthehunt! 2015-09-20T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv Found BCP070 Beaumont - Replacement.

I kicked at the likely depressions just off the sidewalk and came up empty. Mrs. DanOCan took mercy on me and found a stick and used it to poke around and expose the cap so I could get the photo. 2009-11-19T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP070 Beaumont-replacement Early morning pedestrian traffic to high school was more than happy to steer clear of us as we scrabbled about in the dirt muttering about numbers and lighting - eat your heart out Gollum. 2009-11-19T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP070 Beaumont - Replacement - Much easier search than the original cap, no digging required. 2009-10-03T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP070 Beaumont - Replacement Posted N53° 20.917 W113° 25.147 GPSr N53° 20.917 W113° 25.148 Toughest find of the day.

I had to return to the car to retrieve the trusty el cheapo metal detector and after a couple of passes got the beep of success. Found the cap about an inch or so below the surface of the dirt covering in fairly good shape except for a few dings. Got a few more strange looks from passerbys which is becoming part of the cap hunting fun.

TFTH peanutbutterbreadandjam 2005-11-04T20:00:00 Didn't find it Mr. Speedy BCP070 - Beaumont Probably my 7th trip here and nicolo's 5th! With 1 cop, 2 GCEers, 3 metal detectors, 4 screw drivers, 5 CACers, 7 geocachers, 14 pairs of eyes and arms and 14 man/hours of searching (a full two hours here at night) all we could find was $2.50! This cap has GOTTA be gone! How can we not find it this time with the team, all the equipement and everything. How can we find coins but not a cap. My GPS was giving me 2 meters accuracy with the external antenna and we dug up all the dirt and grass we could find around there. The cop showed only 20 minutes into our search. He got called by residents that saw "kids that were up to no goods"! Well, he got a good chuckle at what we were doing and even talked about other geocaches (Rob's lake webcam). We chatted for a while and then he took off! He saw the big shovels and everything. It didn't seem to bother him too much. Well, too bad for this cap. I ain't coming back until someone finds it, which could be never! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks to the Calgary team who came in mass to search for this darn elusive cap again!

I had just got home from a week long 4500+ km road trip (see my last 49 cap entries :) And my wife and daughter say they want ot go camping - UGH! We pack up and head out to the Ghost River area with our trailer - it sure is nice having a truck now that allows us to get to these places! We had been here back in July to get the Ghost River cap. We camped a few KM away and deceided to head out for this cap. I REALLY with I had gotten a previous cachers track log first as I had to follow a 16 yr old's sense of direction - ie straight line must be best! after a km or so, Mrs. Sears Tower decided to enjoy the scenery and wait for us. The next 200m and the last clim of about 100m were the worst. Once at the top, we found a much easier way off the peak and then ahd to go back to find the Mrs. Thanks for the adventure and the cap! 2010-10-10T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP071 Devils Gap Posted N51° 18.515 W115° 08.425 GPSr N51° 18.514 W115° 08.428 We had only been down the Transalta road as far as the Ghost River cap before and we've been wanting to get down to the river valley to do a bit of exploring. What a great place! The road in was as rough as expected, but the Expedition handled it well. The dry river bed crossing was no problem and we were soon at the parking spot for the Blackrock Mtn trail and the Devil's Gap cap off of marker 37. The views from below of Phantom Crag, Devil's Head and Blackrock Mtn were fantastic. The Blackrock Mtn view brought back memories of Mt. Burke with the abandoned lookout building visible at its summit. Littlest TiE and I made a promise to get up there together next summer. We elected to follow the same route as the BVPetes using a track log that was graciously provided by j2d2. The forest trail was soon discovered and we started the trek up the ridge. I really liked the "nessie" like trail up. There were lots of flat spots between the pitchy spots to let the lungs and knees recover. We were soon on the ridge and provided with a nice 900m ridge walk to the cap with outstanding views. The only negative was the wind which was not present until we gained the ridge and by the time we reached the cap was gusting at what seemed like 100 km/hr. It was very difficult to stand straight up during the strong gusts. We found the cap and erected a cairn behind it for future finders. After taking the required photos, finding SH's summit cache, we quickly headed back down to the forest to escape the wind. The trail back was nice and calm and we were back at the car in no time at all. The chosen route was about 6.8km in total with 425m in net elevation gain and took just under 3 hours round trip going at a leisurely pace. A great outing in a fantastic spot. Thanks for posting this one OFTH! 2009-11-05T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP071 Devils Gap N51° 18.516’ W115° 08.426’ Mrs BVPete and I went on a fabulous hike today to capture this cap! After careful study of the available info on the ridge we decided to access it from the Blackrock Mountain Trailhead. I was pretty sure that somewhere there would be a reasonable trail up to the summit of the ridge and sure enough j2d2 mentioned finding such a trail on his visit in 2003. He and his companions used the trail to descend the ridge after finding the cap and had, thankfully, recorded a track log. He sent it to me so we went well prepared for everything – except the wind. We had no trouble at all getting to the correct trailhead in the F-150, no snow, no ice and almost no water in the North Ghost. We were the only people parked at the trailhead so the whole area was very quiet – except for the wind. So, off we went yelling loudly as taught by Sleepy Hollow to warn all big and scary forest creatures that we were coming. J2d2’s track log was bang on as we picked up the trail immediately. The lower section was a nice single track that followed a small creek upwards. As we got higher up the trail, it became obvious that it was being used by dirt bikers that appeared to have come in from the south. The dirt bike trails continued to a small col on the ridge, then turned and went right up to the summit, amazing. We did encounter some snow at the higher elevations in the trees, but nothing too serious. Once we got to the col our 900 meter ridge walk commenced with the views beginning to unfold and my ohh my, they were absolutely spectacular. Our only problem was the wind which kept getting stronger with each meter of elevation gained until they were nothing short of ferocious at the top. Mrs BVPete stayed in some shelter just below the summit while I crab walked like a drunken sailor over to ground zero, feeling like I was about to learn how to fly, just like a bird. It took a while to find as some kind person had placed a small rock over the cap, a rock just like thousands of others on this ridge top. I persisted and eventually turned the right rock over to reveal some shiny brass. I quickly took my photos, went to find Sleepy Hollows nearby cache and vamoosed from the ridge top to join Mrs BVPete for the trek down. The entire 6.8 km roundtrip with its 410 meter elevation gain took us 3 ¼ hours (Mrs BVPete was really in the groove). We had some hot coffee waiting for us in the truck and it was very, very good! Thanks for posting this cap ofth, it makes a great hike with few navigation problems and takes you to a truly awesome place. The cap numbers are hidden by a happy face cloud that briefly formed in the clear blue sky. Edited for grammer! [This entry was edited by BVPete on Friday, November 06, 2009 at 6:47:12 AM.] 2007-07-25T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP 071 - DEVIL'S GAP. Found while almost killing ourselves getting to it and the nearby Sleepy Hollow cache. 2007-07-19T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP071 - Devils Gap I just got the good old hiking boots back and needed a good test to check out the newly sewn boots. I knew the parking area for the cap, a few kilometres before the dip down to the river. So using a bike I rode down to the end of the ATV trail and enjoyed a one kilometre or so hike to the cap site. The last three hundred metres to the cap site are pretty amazing when you see the height of the cliff that needs to be navigated. I headed south and found a suitable approach in short order. The views from the top were simply amazing as you could see Calgary, Black Rock Mountain, Devils Head and many other landmarks from this fine location. It took a bit of work to find the cap as it just sits on the ground on an embedded piece of rock. The metal rods described in the hint are not well marked and are themselves only flush with ground level. The Alberta Survey sign doesn't mark the cap site at all, and is probably 10 - 15 metres NE of the cap. Just a great afternoon - TFTH and I'll send along the pictures. 2003-09-13T20:00:00 Found it reastick [b]BCAP0071 Devils Gap[/b] My question is, why? Why is this cap here? Why am I so interested that this cap is here? <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> There was no question we were going to get this one after the GPSr said that it was so close to the Blackrock Mountain cache. The distance, however, was deceiving, since our route would have to be so circuitous. We tried to find some more direct routes for pretty much the whole day, but the cliffs on Blackrock kept pushing back to our original idea. Although there was a lot of bushwhacking, the bush was not inordinately thick and we did manage to keep most of our elevation. From the cap, the views of the Ghost--including Mt. Aylmer and the Devil's Head--are spectacular, as is the view back to Calgary. Not as airy as from Blackrock, but still worth the hike. As we approached the final major uphill, we came across a trail coming up the gully from below. After finding the cap, we followed this back down right to the parking area. If you were to head for this cap directly from the parking area, this would be the way to go. Check out j2d2's track log for the route. 2003-09-13T20:00:00 Found it j2d2 [b]BCP071[/b] [b]Devil's Gap[/b] This geocaching thing must be the silliest hobby ever... So we climb up 900 m or so up Black Rock mountain, and then we realize that there is a nearby brass cap. No problem, we will just follow that series of ridges....well, bushwacking and crossing an endless series of gullies and countless ups and downs, we finally made it to the cap. A sample of our conversation on the way: $%#@& OFTH, I wish OFTH would ^%#@& and %&#(@. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Actually, it was a hoot, definitely somewhere that we would never have gotten to otherwise, and hardly anyone else would ever get to - except the occasional deranged dirtbiker. reastick and cymbc decided to do some strange search maneuver, I just followed the gpsr and found the cap in the open... <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> [This entry was edited by j2d2 on Tuesday, November 04, 2008 at 7:15:02 PM.] 2003-09-13T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc [b]BCAP0071[br] Devil's Gap[/b] After climbing Blackrock, this one was quite and adventure in bush wacking over the ridge.

This all unfolded according to plan. I still had a little time on my hands so decided to look for another pair in SE Calgary. I ended the day with a search for a geocache near the last cap. Thanks to ofth and vdD for setting up and maintaining these activities. I made a note of all the numbers and will add a few photos when I am near my photo software. This was brass cap #9 for today. 2017-04-26T20:00:00 Found it Iron Phoenix BCP072 - Calgary (Cranston) I managed to convince One Bad Ant that with the impending doom.... er, I mean, the upcoming change in logging rules, that we should do a blitz of Brass Caps. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> This was a nice quick walk!!

When I arrived at ground zero, all there was to see was a sea of dried, tufted grass with no hints as to where a cap might be lurking underneath. I spent quite bit of time prodding around my promised gz, with what seemed like half of Calgary streaming by on a morning walk along the nearby path. I finally threw in the towel and admitted defeat.

I went back one more log and saw that VdD had posted images pointing to the cap, though evidently still with a MP. With a good visual measurement from the side of the path, I gave myself a 12" strip to search and came up with the goods quickly.

No cap there, but I got lucky again and spotted it nearby in the tall grass about 5 feet from the near edge of the path and flush with the ground. A quick wipe had the cap ready for its picture. Nice views from here. Thanks for the cap. 2013-07-15T20:00:00 Found it Ge0Patr0l BCP072 - Calgary (Cranston) This was a surprisingly very quick find given the long grass that is covering everything up. Got to 0.00m on the GPS and looked down, sure enough there I was standing on it. What a great view over the valley from here on this sunny and warm (but windy) day. Wrote the numbers down and I'm sure got a few looks from the passing muggles as I stared into the grass. TFTC. 1679 - 15/07/2013 3:32:22 PM 2013-04-05T20:00:00 Found it kristaandgeoff BCP072- Calgary (Cranston) A quick find along this pathway. The hint really doesn't make sense anymore with all the development, but it's not hard to find, even in the snow. Thanks for the cap! 2013-04-05T20:00:00 Found it rustywa [b]BCP072- Calgary (Cranston)[/b] We came back from a long walk to "Farm animals" when we passed this cap. It didn't take too long for us to find the cap and take the needed pictures. Thanks for the cap! 2013-04-04T20:00:00 Found it GeoMonkey_AB BCP072 - Calgary (Cranston) We stopped to find this cap on our way back from a cache down by the river. We followed the GPS to GZ and then started looking for the usual depressions in the grass. As we searched we had a good chuckle about the hint regarding the east and west facing fence...it is long gone with all the development in the area. I got lucky and happened to see the telltale glint of brass in the headlamp. We took the required photos and then moved on. Thanks for another cap! 2013-01-26T20:00:00 Found it yayajojo BCP 072 Calgary Cranston My first brass cap! accura11 brought me here to introduce me to brass caps. Thanks for something new, OFTH. 2013-01-26T20:00:00 Found it Accura BCP072 Calgary Cranston N50 53.094 W113 59.504 I took yayajojo to this one while we went for a long walk today. We couldn't believe how easy it was to find. As we made the approach along the pathway, we figured we would not be able to make an easy find due to all the snow on the ground. But as I zeroed in on the perfect coordinates, there it was completely uncovered and perfectly visible! This is my 10th brass cap find and yaya's first one. Thanks, OFTH for another one. 2012-05-06T20:00:00 Found it ShaunEM BCP072 - I walked around and around with several onlookers in their back yards. Eventually I changed how I was looking for this one and found it right away. Horray! Nice evening for this view.

I was on my way to play Santa for a corporate party and was far too early. The Cranston brass cap was in the area and just too tempting not to try and find this morning. I mean, it's early, right?! Who's going to see me in my Santa suit looking for a brass cap? ~~~ It's amazing how children can appear at the most inopportune moments. I looked up from the brass cap to see the astonished eyes of a small child, the open-mouthed shock of an older brother, and the bemused puzzlement of a mother looking out of their very large picture window at me. I took my photos and stood up to see the three standing on their deck. "What in the world are you doing??" Well, Ma'am, I am checking on naughty and nice children and just had to make sure that my GPS was correct for next month's visit in this area." Mom, tell him I was being nice!" "Were not!! He's always mean to me Santa." "Am not... Mommmmm!!". This is a brass cap I'll remember... and so will they. LOL!! 2011-11-14T20:00:00 Found it Foster Bros BCP072 - Calgary (Cranston) I was in the area doing maintenance on one of my caches and couldn't resist the nearby cap, even though I knew the snow would complicate the search.

After taking a quick stroll along the path and snapping some pictures with the crappy iPhone camera, that "honour" now falls to Allsmoke Mountain, which is on the target list for one day when the snow clears up and the weather turns nice.

Had to bag this one. Great find, thanks, OFTH. As I walked back to my vehicle, I looked towards the south, down the river valley, and spotted an island. I shook my fist in anger at the island on which there is a cache that is ALWAYS at the top of my unfound list - but oh so unattainable. I will get you one day!! 2005-02-13T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP072 - Calgary Cranston Have meant to get down here to explore ever since this cap was posted, and today was the day.

TFTC 2017-04-29T20:00:00 Found it Citizen_22 BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) I was out for a short bike ride this morning and rode over to this cap. I looked for this one a few summers ago but it eluded me. Certainly the long grass keeps it well hidden in the summer and there are plenty of divots in the ground to make you think it's there (but it's not). Knowing that is was recently found I assumed that the grass isn't very long yet and there would be just enough grass pushed aside that I would be able to find it. And that was the case as I was able to spot it in minutes! Nice to avenge a DNF on this cap! Cap info sent to CO. Thanks again for setting up the caps! (edit: I had deleted my original log by accident!) 2017-04-22T20:00:00 Found it behmSquad BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) #28 of 46 caps found on the day. I spent the early morning finding caps at all points from Calgary to Red Deer. I returned to Calgary in the afternoon to clear out much of north Calgary including a good hike across nose hill. TFTC 2017-04-09T20:00:00 Found it hunthikers BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) A geowalk up on to NHP again today with the objective of the last 3 brass caps within the park area and maybe at attempt at a puzzle find. We parked on S parking of 14th St NW and walked up onto the edge and headed N with the geokids picking up the caps as we made a loop. This was the third cap stop of the outing. Once at GZ one obvious divot stood out but a probe deep gave nothing. After a few minutes we opted for the newly discovered compass approach which soon proved it's worth revealing the cap in the grass at ground level about 1m N of the divot and 1.5m W of the track. TFTC 2016-10-26T20:00:00 Didn't find it Truly2 BCP074 - Calgary (Nose Hill 2) I saw no sign on it. 2016-06-14T20:00:00 Didn't find it Coolcat21 BCP074 - Calgary (Nose Hill 2) Posted: N51° 07.026' W114° 06.273' Well, I tried, I really did try. With the context photo in mind, I thought this one would be a relatively easy find but oh my goodness, it was not. I think I aerated about 5 square meters of ground in an attempt to find this one, to no avail. 2016-05-16T20:00:00 Didn't find it Kottbullar BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) There is a nice hole in the ground right at GZ, but I didn't bring anything to dig with apart from my finger tips. Found the rock in the pictures about 11 m away, but couldn't find anything under it. My first DNF on a brass cap😊. It was still a nice walk! 2015-11-04T20:00:00 Found it geoCurious2 BCP074 - Calgary (Nose Hill 2) I searched for this one last year without success. Tall grass and a light covering of snow were my excuse then. I started thinking about buying a metal detector to help in my pursuit of Brass Caps ... We came back today, about a year later, but before any significant snowfall and determined to find it. We searched all around GZ. Nothing in sight. Long grass and plenty of dirt piles from ground squirrels and such. So I took out my compass and started moving it around close to the ground near GZ. I finally noticed that the needle moved off North and eventually zeroed in on the Brass Cap! So happy to find this one. Didn't need a tool to clear away dirt, but it was very well hidden in the long grass. Oh Happy day! (and it's Mrs. gC2's birthday to boot!) 2015-08-22T20:00:00 Found it geo-dunc BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) I was walking around Nose Hill today, and decided to have a look for this cap. I arrived at GZ, and didn't spot anything. After digging around a bit I was able to locate what I assume was the (long-gone) guidepost; with some more poking around and I was able to uncover the cap. Thanks for another cap hunt! N51 07.025 W114 06.274 elev: 1224m 2015-08-19T20:00:00 Didn't find it Citizen_22 BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) I was in Nose Hill today and figured I'd head over to see if I could find this cap. Once near GZ, I took a look at the cache page and then realized this one has not been found since 2013. Looking through some pictures from past logs was no help as it appears that any rocks on the area have been moved to the rock pile described in the hint. I wasn't prepared to dig around so after a brief search in the grass I decided to head back to the car and seek out a different cap for today. I'll have to come back with something to dig with and maybe a compass to use as a metal detector. 2013-07-20T20:00:00 Didn't find it Coolcat21 BCP074 – Calgary (Nose Hill 2) Yes, I found the big rock covering the big hole, but after digging down in that hole, I never did find a cap. I see by others' photos that there is one, - somewhere - so I must have been real close, but didn't find this one today. 2013-06-06T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP 074 - Calgary (Nose Hill 2) N51° 07.026 W114° 06.273 Final cap on Nose Hill - another quick find (thanks to the giant rock & divot!) TFTCap 2013-03-31T20:00:00 Found it TheTowerOfSong BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) N51° 07.027 W114° 06.275 I had recently been in the area searching out caches but this cap had eluded me. Today I was back with most of the family, and while BabyWolf was busy making and breaking inukshuks at the nearby rock pile, I was poking around with my hiking pole in the bent grass. Eventually I heard the classic 'TING!' and knew I had found it. Moved the grass aside and took a few snaps of the cap and surroundings. Thanks for a great cap! 2013-03-27T20:00:00 Didn't find it TheTowerOfSong BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) N51° 07.026 W114° 06.273 Found where the cap is, and a broken off bit of the marker, but the ice was still thick over the cap and I could not get to it. I will have to return again one day. 2012-09-15T20:00:00 Didn't find it Nike Goddess of Winged Victory BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) Well, I found the rock and dug down but didn't find a cap, so now there's a nice hole under the rock. Back at the land of computers, I see by the photos that the cap is at ground level so I really just missed it. I didn't have a compass or metal detector so I'll have to return. 2011-06-26T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) 51 07.027 114 06.274 Not sure what happened to the survey post that used to mark this one, looks like it has been cut off at the base. Cap was hidden under a rock and in good shape. 2011-06-14T20:00:00 Found it Kaerran BCP074 - Calgary (Nose Hill 2) N51° 07.026 W114° 06.273 Whoops, confusing caps. This one I was confused by the survey marking being jammed into the pile of rocks for a bit but I eventually figured out what I was doing and actually found the cap. 2011-06-02T20:00:00 Found it BrassPirate Found BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) at N51 07.026 W114 06.273 2011-06-02T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) Went for a walk up the hill today.

Thank you for bringing me on a great walk. 2010-11-12T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) The cap was hiding in the grass but I soon found it. I think I left an extremely cheap compass at the cap so the next finder gets a little prize.

This one was quite a hike. Further than I thought (I came from the Edgemont parking lot). It was one of the hottest days of the year, and I was not dressed for it. Fortunately, I always carry water with me. Some animal (ants, gopher?) had buried it since it was last found. Good thing I had my screw driver (my compass was in my other pack)!

Always glad to see the nearby marker post. Now to make it back to the car... Another nice walk in the park with some capping and caching to boot. Thanks for the cap. 2008-11-17T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP074 Nose Hill Elevation 4060ft Today seemed like a good time to make the trek up to the top of the hill, with a fog obscuring the view and a crisp quality to the air, it was just right for cap hunting. TFTCap 2008-11-01T20:00:00 Found it nt210 BCP074 Calgary (Nose Hill 2) I tried using a compass for the first time to help find this cap, and it worked very well. 2008-10-04T20:00:00 Found it Everhollow BCP074 - Calgary (Nose Hill 2) N51° 07.026 W114° 06.273 I am not sure how I could have made such an easy cap so difficult. The rain didn’t help as water dripped from my helmet and I got muddy and even more soaked. It feels so good to finally have gotten to this cap that always seemed just out of reach. Thank you for the cap. 2008-08-09T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP074 – Calgary (Nose Hill 2). N51° 07.026 W114° 06.273 (my GPSr). This was my third visit to this cap, the first two were during winter and the ground was frozen, which hindered my searching efforts. In addition, I did not have any remote sensing devices with me. Today I came with compass in hand and I actually used it as the cap was still concealed below heavy sod. It worked like a charm with the needle reacting to the presence of the cap just like it was supposed to. Out came my knife and the cap was soon exposed, revealing the required info. I love it when a plan comes together! Thanks for selecting this survey control point for your cache page ofth, it was nice to finally put this one to bed. 2008-08-06T20:00:00 Found it GeoMeerkats Calgary Nose Hill 2 N51.06.790 W114.05.597 Elev: 1225 m TFTH! 2008-04-14T20:00:00 Didn't find it BVPete BCP074 - Calgary Nose hill #2 No metal detector, no handy pre-dug hole, I guess I will have to return with more equipment!

Located the cap under the snow and matted grass after a few minutes of probing. The wind was a bit brisk so I was glad it was a short search. The email has been sent.

Well, with neither of us with our capping supplies, and long grass, we were unable to locate. Will be in the area finishing off all the Nose Hill caches and should have some supplies then. 2006-07-16T20:00:00 Didn't find it Viajero Perdido BCP074 Calgary Nose Hill 2 I must have poked 1000 holes into the dirt around the marker post with my trusty hiking pole / cache-finding tool, but never once got that satisfying metallic "clank". 2006-04-16T20:00:00 Found it 3 Bubbas BCP074 - Calgary (Nose Hill 2) Elevation 1231m N51 07.024 W114 06.272 [This entry was edited by 3 Bubbas on Monday, February 16, 2009 at 10:40:30 AM.] 2005-12-31T20:00:00 Found it The4B's BCP074 - Calgary (Nose Hill 2) Found it quite easily on a tour around the center of Nose Hill Park.

After slogging through incredibly tall grass (like, if you don't know where the trails are, the straight line seems easiest!), came across an area that my GPS was sort of pointing to where a lot of grass was trampled. Unfortunately, that's not where the cap is! 2003-10-04T20:00:00 Found it reastick [b]BCP074[/b] Calgary (Nose Hill) Second cap on my evening cycle around Nose Hill. At this point, it is getting pretty dark, but it is still light enough to keep on the trails. I thought it might be tough to find the cap, but cymbc had dug it out nicely (thank you very much). 2003-09-21T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc Nose Hill Brass cap Thought this one might have easier access than Devil's Gap and it looked like a good afternoon for short walk on Nose Hill Took two trips had to return for digging material and compass. Still much easier than Devil's Gap. It's nicely uncovered now for anyone else.

Even though the forecast was for some rain, the temperatures were supposed to hit the double digits so I decided to go.

This was a super easy find as there was a large wooden stake right next to it. Quick drive-up cap -- barely needed to get out of the vehicle. GPS problem from previous cap not evident here as my northing was exact and the westing was just off by .001 of a minute. 2007-09-03T20:00:00 Found it Nika05 BCP075 ~ Red Deer 52 13884 113 49.003 Super Easy Find Stick labeled beside cap 2007-05-27T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri BCP075 - Red Deer Another cap before we headed out back home.

Kinda thinking I want one of these nifty gadgets! Many thanks To Nicolo for the use of his! 2005-03-05T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP075 Red Deer I guess you could say we "cheated" a bit on this by borrowing a metal detector. Oh well, just more "Toys for Big Boys". Thanks 2004-07-01T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP075 - Red Deer We tried for this one last winter, and just couldn't succeed - we even had our snow shovel out. This time, we used cymbc's compass, and all of a sudden, it was actually pointing somewhere non-north! It took a bunch of digging to unearth the cap, but we were successful. I swear, we tried the same spot in winter! TFTC 2004-07-01T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP075 - Red Deer. We had tried this one last November when had to shovel snow off the grass. This time using the compass and a small amount of digging it finally revealed itself. Considering it's well buried cap is well worn. I suspect the development in the area is more recent than the cap. 2004-05-02T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP075 Red Deer N Some more poking and prodding and got lucky this time. Had to carve out and replace a divot after locating the cap. Last cap of the day and it looks as if I didn’t even visit a couple of other ones. They can wait for another day. I’ve time for one more traditional before heading south. Thanks for the fun day. Thanks for the caches.

Just trying to get caught up again. It's always a pleasure to roam Alberta in search of the Brass.

We had not been to the town before and were impressed with the topography and great views. We checked out the river front park, reading all the story boards to get a sense of the history of the place. After that we went for a few hikes around the terrific trails that surround the University of Athabasca. What a wonderful setting for this well known center of learning. Thanks for giving us an extra incentive to visit Athabasca ofth. It was well worth the trip. 2012-08-20T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP076 - Athabasca Thanks for putting the pullover so close to the cap! # 13 of 14 today TFTH 2012-07-10T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP076 Athabasca We set out early this morning to visit some of the northern reaches of this fine province. The leisurely drive up proved to be very enjoyable as we made the occasional stop to find a cache or brass cap. The day was very warm for the drive and we were sure glad to have the AC in the van working so well. The cap was quickly located hust off the #2 highway.

Thanks for the cap! 2010-10-30T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP076 - Athabasca Elev. 548 metres Since I'd been up northeast of Edmonton before, I knew enough to keep the gas tank full whenever the opportunity presented itself. So after stopping in at Frains, I still had lots of gas to get not only to Athabasca, but Edmonton and beyond. Athabasca on a Saturday night; I say "interesting" and leave it at that. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I was glad that the traffic was light as I approached ground zero and scanned the darkness for a place to pull over. I spotted the pull out beside ground zero on the way past but had to keep going until I found a place to turn around. Once again I pulled the "headlights in the general direction of the cap" trick and headed over with the flashlight to search. The marker post was easy to find, but the cap eluded me for a bit. Just as I was wondering if I should head back to the car for the trekking pole and the compass I spotted it about a metre away from the post, just not in front of it. If you project along the imaginary fence line, that's the direction you want to be looking along. The cap is at ground level, and aside from a single tool mark, is in excellent shape. Thanks for the cap outforthehunt; I'll have to come back sometime in the daylight to have a look around. 2010-08-06T20:00:00 Found it rat root Bcp 076 Athabasca Glad this was any easy cap after doing a 5/5 cache. 2010-04-27T20:00:00 Found it garlic gulpers BCP 076 Athabasca Thanks for the cap will try to send you an email with this pict.

We parked in a well situated pull-out area and spotted the marker a distance from where we had expected to find it.

After our time spent up in Cold Lake, Mrs. Gumby was pretty ready to get back to Red Deer. I asked if she didn't mind me doing a slight zigzag on the way home to grab the lab caches in Glendon, St. Paul and Elk Point and to grab whichever caps were near them as well. She was okay with that so that's how I planned my way home. This was my first stop in St. Paul. I walked over and was lucky to spot the cap in the long grass. Thanks for bringing me to this cool spot. TFTBC <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2016-07-10T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP077 St. Paul We took time to visit the museum and the cathedral while in St. Paul and then took a side trip over to get this cap. This would be a very easy find when there was no grass in the fall or spring but right now after the health rain it was a well grown up. Didn't take long for the metal detector to ping and all that was needed was just to push the grass back to get the numbers. Thanks OFTH! 2016-07-10T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP077 St. Paul A convenient location right next to the Iron Horse Trail in St. Paul. The metal detector was very helpful in locating this one in the deep grass. The cap is less than 2 feet into the grass and I am sure it would be quite obvious when the grass wasn't growing.

As we approached GZ, we got to the edge of the freshly mowed grass but noticed that GZ was still several meters into the tall wet unmowed grass. I was temporarily filled with dread as this could take some time (and the mosquitoes had already started to lick their lips). Thankfully, we spotted a little colour in the grass and that ended up being a bit of ribbon that revealed the cap. We pushed back the grass and took the required photos! Thanks for another great cap in a great location. 2016-07-06T20:00:00 Found it narloth BCP077 St Paul Posted: N 53 59.682 W 111 16.646 El 641.6m OurGPS: N 53 59.683 W 111 16.647 El 641m Found with Losmir while we were slowly making our way to the Cold Lake Mega event.

Unfortunately, this meant we had to skip a couple later. As we were getting close, the hand held GPSr decided to freeze up and would not show the caps I had loaded. I did this one using the truck GPS and pacing. TFTH 6 of 14 2011-10-25T20:00:00 Found it chevyragtop BCP 077 St. Paul A cap close to the Iron Horse trail.

Thanks for the cap! 2010-11-03T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP077 St. Paul It's many years since my last visit here, but the town doesn't seem to have undergone too many changes, other that the usual things found in small rural Alberta towns like for instance the installation of a UFO landing pad.

The sports field was quiet today. Time to visit the UFO landing pad and then... well... there seems to be a cap only 30kms away. Thanks for the cap OFTH! 2010-09-05T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP077 - St. Paul Well this stop turned out better than my original stop last fall, as it was in the middle of the day and the cap had been recently exposed in the thick grass. We parked along the street and wandered over to quickly make the find. Simply another fine stop on our east central Alberta tour - TFTH and fun! 2010-08-13T20:00:00 Found it Klondike Mike BCP077 St. Paul A continuation for my detour route to Bonnyville so I could make a stop here as well. I had taken ppbj's ancient log as gospel and never did bother to stop in here to check for this one. My bad. Took a few minutes to spot it in the dark as it was around 11:00 pm now. Good thing it was where it was lol The base plate is badly bend for sure. tfth 2010-08-08T20:00:00 Found it rat root BCP 077 St. Paul A drive up to cap, didn't even have to get out of the truck. TFTH 2010-07-10T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP077 - St. Paul Elev. 639 metres Reports of this cap's demise are (slightly) exaggerated. The closest (semi-legal) parking I could find for this cap was near N53 59.669 W111 16.575. If the adjacent sports fields are in use, you may end up quite a bit further away. The gravel pathway on the old railbed, while technically wide enough for a car, isn't meant for that. I hadn't realized that this cap had only been found once back in 2005, but I can understand why. The best time to try for this one would likely be in the spring after the snow has melted but before the weeds take hold. There's literally nothing to mark the spot. The marker post is nowhere to be seen, and was likely taken out by the same backhoe that bent the steel collar that the cap sits on. In the summer the whole area around ground zero is covered by dense vegetation, so stumbling upon the cap takes a bit of luck. I got very lucky and Lady Luck let me find the cap right away. The cap is in surprisingly good shape, with only very minor tool marks on its surface that do not obscure any of the digits. The steel collar it sits on has faired slightly worse. It's more or less flush with the ground, depending on whether you're looking at the straight bit or the bent bit! I wish I'd had some lath to mark the cap with, as the context shot really won't help you much; it's all greenery of one sort or another. About the only bit of advice I can think of is not to go down the bank. The cap is up top. Thanks for the brass cap. 2009-08-02T20:00:00 Didn't find it forestfyre07 bcp077 st paul me thinks this guy is definitely gone too. tracks are gone to make way for the iron horse quad trail. no markers or cap anywhere near the gravel path or the dirt. pbbjs dnf saying the cap had been removed by the backhoe mustve been when they started making the trail. did however find the best patch of wild rasperries we had found all weekend, so it wasnt a total loss. :) 2005-11-04T20:00:00 Didn't find it peanutbutterbreadandjam BCP077 - St Paul Someone (Grrr...) has been here with a backhoe (Grrr....) and dug the ground up (Grrr...) and taken the cap with them (Grrrr...) and that means DNF for me.

Thank goodness we read a previous log about flagging being near the cache because there is no stake, so we dug in the snow and chipped away the ice to find a well preserved cap.

Thankfully the phone suffered no permanent damage. Tftc Team Pixos, 97CMA, 0728ALH 2016-07-28T20:00:00 Found it Team Pixos BCP078 Nordegg I parked at the little church. The Pastor invited us to join a get together and we reluctantly declined. Over the little raised area, across the tracks and what should happen? The skies opened and it absolutely poured. Sheets of rain with no where to go. Trees just seemed to funnel more rain down our backs. The cap was located only because of the flagging. By this time the iPhone had so much water in it, inside the otter case, that it wouldn't even sense the touch pad. Omg!!!!! This is the most pristine cap We have ever encountered. It's gorgeous. Back to the van, disassemble the iPhone otter case, turn the fan on high heat and dry everything out. Phone was surprisingly unhurt although much cleaner.

After parking near the old church I made my way over toward ground zero with the metal detector in tow, just in case. Really, I could have left it in the car. I did wander a bit before spying a welcome piece of pink flagging and viola there was the cap, a relatively easy find actually. Thanks for the cap! 2015-10-23T20:00:00 Found it 2Sloths BCP078 Nordegg N52° 28.196 W116° 04.365 We stopped in Nordegg in between a hike up to Baldy Lookout and a walk around Goldeye Lake. The rest of the family already found this cap so they knew right where to park. An easy find and thanks for the cap! 2015-08-07T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP078 Nordegg We were exploring the backroads around Nordegg with our son and family. We parked on the road and our youngest granddaughter and us followed along the old rail lines which are being swallowed up by the vegetation and trees. After a little bushwhacking our granddaughter noticed the pink flagging and then we spied the the BCP right under it. This BCP was in great shape. Another nice place you brought us to Outforthehunt. Thankyou! 2015-08-02T20:00:00 Found it geo-dunc BCP078 Nordegg We decided to track this cap down while visiting Nordegg today. My GPSr showed some railroad tracks in the area, which we discovered were now disused and very much overgrown. After some bushwacking to GZ, we were able to spot the immaculate cap hiding in the brush. Thanks for another cap! N52 28.197 w116 04.366 elev: 1381 2015-07-21T20:00:00 Found it G & E BCP078 - Nordegg Lots of cool stuff to see here in Nordegg from the old buildings to the grown-over tracks. The G of G&E actually has lot of history here, he says the hostel was like a second home to him. Locating this cap took awhile. My GPS zero'd out around the pile of logs a good 10m away. I walked along the bank for a bit first looking for the rebar, then a spot with the same view of the church as k5¢ents' picture. Eventually I found the photo showing the pink flagging and knew exactly where to look. 2015-04-10T20:00:00 Found it k5¢ents BCP078 - Nordegg I've been travelling to Nordegg on this same weekend for many years teaching geocaching to the youth at Junior Forest Wardens. I've tried for this cap every time, but never got close due to the huge amount of snow on the ground out here this time of year. But this year, very little snow, now was my chance. But it was still under the little bit of snow and ice that remained. Thanks to a little bit of flagging left behind, I could concentrate on where to dig, and this elusive cap came into view. Finally. Enjoyed crossing the old mine tracks and the view of the old church, thanks. 2014-08-04T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP078 Nordegg This was perhaps our longest search today, certainly of the successful ones! Our GPS led us to a small spruce tree with some [i]very[/i] old survey tape barely clinging to the trunk and a piece of lathe laying at the base. So our search centered around...and around...that tree...for quite some time. We widened our search. We even began to discuss if this would be our first DNF today and how sad it would be to break our string of finds. Finally Mr Shark realized that if he had turned [i]away[/i] from that flagged spruce tree where he zeroed out and moved a certain plant right at his feet that our search would have been over very quickly. As it was, the cap waited patiently and quietly for us to discover it, no doubt snickering to itself the whole time. Pity that caches and caps don't laugh out loud at us when we're having problems--we could swallow our pride and follow the sound to much quicker finds! And who would be the wiser in a spot like this one? <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> But once the cap was revealed, it fairly jumped out at us in its cleanliness and bold perfection! So we took pictures of the pretty little thing and tied some pink survey tape to a branch of an even smaller spruce tree directly over the cap. Hopefully that will be helpful to the next searcher. It was interesting to see the old railway tracks and other artifacts in the area. It's been a long time since we were here. Thanks for the well chosen and elusive cap outforthehunt. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_approve.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2014-07-29T20:00:00 Didn't find it Coolcat21 BCP078 Nordegg Kudos to past finders because VP and I were just not able to find this one today. We found 2 of the three marker posts mentioned and I was able to suss out two old lathes, one of which I'm quite sure is featured in van der Decken's context photo, but not having any photos or having done any homework before arriving, I sensed I might be close but was by no means sure. I'm thinking this one was just under some leaves and went unnoticed today. Oh well, this one moves back to the “someday” list. 2012-09-13T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP078 Nordegg N52° 28.195’ W116° 04.365’ Mrs BVPete, Brutus and I decided to drive up to Rocky Mountain House and points west to find a few caps today. Our first stop, other than the odd bathroom break, was Nordegg. Mrs BVPete has never been here before while I was here so long ago I can’t remember a thing about it! So, it was very nice to briefly explore it, a lot of infrastructure type construction is happening right now. Anyway we parked at the Community Church and made the short journey to the cap. It took me a few minutes to sort out what were newly fallen leaves and what was cap; both are exactly the same colour. I finally uncovered it and took the photo shot, and then it was on to Fish Lake. Thanks for the cap located in such an interesting and historic town ofth. 2011-10-07T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP078 Nordegg 11:30am This was the first stop on our four day capping trip. We parked by the quaint little church and hoofed it across the tracks and then immediately hoofed back across the tracks to collect the metal detector as we quickly discovered that the golden leaves on the ground made perfect camo for a brass cap! Even with the detector squawking it was tricky to see it nestled into its bed. 2011-10-07T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP078 Nordegg This was the first on our capping and caching weekend. Nordegg is a quant little almost-ghost town. The church near the cap was impressive. The cap, hidden under a ton of fallen leaves was all shiny and clear once exposed.

Thanks for annother cap adventure OFTH. 2009-06-07T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP078 - Nordegg Elev. 1375 metres I wasn't quite sure what Nordegg was going to look like, but it turned out to a sleepy little village. Just past the museum in the old school, the pavement ended and the road narrowed to little more than a car's width in places. So I'm glad Nordegg was a quiet place; I didn't have to worry about how wet and soggy it'd be off the road if I'd met another vehicle and had to pull over! I parked just past the abandoned railway tracks and walked a short distance along them to the cap. The railway tracks have been abandoned for quite some time and small trees are growing up among the ties. It looks like there was an aborted attempt to recycle the rails at one point, but it was abandoned soon after it began. It was snowing pretty good for a minute or two there, but the snow was melting as soon as it hit the ground and so it wasn't a problem. There's a fair amount of flagging in the vicinity of the cap, but it still took me a couple of seconds to see it. I found a length of flagged lath laying a few feet away and pounded it in beside the cap before leaving. The cap itself stands a few centimetres above ground level and is in absolutely pristine condition. Thanks for the cap. 2008-10-13T20:00:00 Found it Klondike Mike BCP078 Nordegg The ghost town wasn't quite what we were expecting so we didn't linger long after locating the cap.

And today's scattered showers must have skipped over this spot, because the slope was dry. Even going under the fence was clean and easy; don't try it right by the cap, there's easier spots where the space between the lowest strand and the ground is bigger. The cap is slightly above ground level and is well marked with both a guard post and flagged lath.

When we decided to grab it on the way home, we pulled over at the logical spot on a crossroad, only to find out that the nearest flagged post wasn't the correct cap, we were 200m away. There were TWO MORE flagged posts further back along the ridge before we found the correct flagged post, and luckily could reach through the barbed wire to photograph the elusive cap! 2005-07-01T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP079 ( Hinton ) N53° 21.776 W117° 38.710 Found at 1:04 PM One of 16 caps found with the caching team of Daddy RedRouge, Smrt_geer and myself.

There was a decent game trail for the last 100 metres to the cap site where I spotted two of what I suspect might be three GPs in the area. The GPS settled down beside the second GP and I cleaned up the cap which was in excellent shape - this cap was a true adventure - now on to those even more remote locations in the north - thanks OFTH for setting this one up! 2014-08-25T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP080 Cold Lake This cap has been on Dave's 'to do' list for a while now. With the family along for the trip he contacted the owner of local Bed N Breakfast who was willing to take us to the site in his boat. Brian Hamilton was a fountain of information about the area and knew exactly where we needed to go - after the quick scramble to the cap, we were treated to a lovely sunset cruise of the area. This was a super fun cap and definitely personifies the best of geocaching! Thanks for the adventure! 2014-08-25T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP080 Cold Lake - Every time I have been in Cold Lake over the past many years I have looked longingly across the lake knowing that this cap was calling my name from the far shore. The call became a crescendo that had to be answered. We made plans to charter a boat but failed on the first day due to high winds and waves. The next day was perfect and we headed out from French Bay, followed the shoreline east until we were across the Saskatchewan border and then angled north across the bay for a landing spot. Our Captain picked a spot on the shore that he could get his boat the closest but then it was time to get wet. His boat took about 3 feet of draft so we were in the water almost waist deep to get to shore holding out electronics above the water. We scrambled up the bank with GPS, Metal Detector, digging tools and cleaning tools in hand as there was no way we were going to have made this trek and not come back with the numbers. A couple of swipes across the grass with the metal detector and we were greeted with that oh so lovely sound of solid metal ... brass! We did our celebration dances, exchanged high-fives, and took the money shots. Back down the bank, into the water and back into the boat. We then took a slow cruise alone the shore, spotted a bald eagle, learned some history from our guide, stopped for some photos of the sunset in a sheltered bay and absorbed the evening and the success. It was about that time when our soaked clothing started to get the better of us and we needed something dry and warm so we headed back to shore. The call of the cap had been answered and again, the pursuit of a brass cap resulted in a most memorable adventure. Thanks for this very special cap and the accompanying adventure. 2012-02-18T20:00:00 Found it MKFmly BCP080 Cold Lake Posted Coordinates: N54 29.274 W110 00.663 My GPSr Coordinates: N54 29.277 W110 00.663 With a late freeze up we delayed the trip until the ice was well frozen. The ice was rough in few patches but we made it without any major problems or running over any ice fishermen. The hike up the hill with the winter conditions is still a challenge. A great view from the cap and a nice trip. Looking forward to trying it in the summer. Although we had to remove a little snow the cap was found and in great shape. Thanks for the Cap, OFTH 2010-08-15T20:00:00 Found it Klondike Mike BCP080 Cold Lake That's right you're seeing correctly, bcp080 it's about time this one gets found. Well vixie logged a find on it but I'm sure purely by mistake. I doubt she was within 100 miles of this cap. The kids had wanted to take the trailer this weekend but the high winds on Friday convinced me to do otherwise. Besides with only the boat behind me I could make a few stoppes along the way<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I've been meaning to drag the boat up there over the past few years to get out to this one but always seemed to have other things in the way. Now with the pending plans to unload the boat I thought I better get this one done. I planned on gettting out on Saturday but the weather wan't cooperating and we had a gathering planned for Saturday so it was Sunday come "Heck or high water". I procrastinated and hung out drinking coffee in the morning all the while watching the intermitent rain and clouds roll by. By 10:30 I was antsy and decided to head out. I've been on this large lake before and knew it could get nasty with the mildest of breezes. The best approach for the cap was in French Bay and by launching from the provincial campground launch I would only have a few km of wide open water exposed to the northerly winds skipping over about 30 miles of lake. I was suprised to see that the lake was quite calm today. There were many boats on the lake and the largest wav was from wakes of boats. I made short order of the 6 plus km I had to travel across the lake. The gps was pointing up top a ridge so I crused the shore line looking for a good spot to put in. I fouldn a nice spot with mostly just gravel and towards the northerly end of the ridge. Someone had even left a mooring line tied to a tree, couldn't get better. I hiked up the bank and made my way toward the cap location. Once up top and walking along the ridge I made sure I was made plenty of noise to avoid any possiblel bear encounters. I racket did scare up a nice buck that did startle my but only for a second. I quickly spotted the ground post 50 meters away as I rounded a tree and headed straight for it. I surveyed the gound infront of the gp but didn't spot the cap but did see a typical depression in the ground. I gave it a few pokes with the long screw driver but didn't hit anyhting. OK time to sniff. One pass gave up the location right next to the depression. I pushed the grass back and exposed a pristene cap. I took a number of pictures of the cap, location and view of the lake then hiked back to the boat. Since it was so nice out I decided I would do bit of fishing since I was here anyways. I lucked out and landed a 64 cm pike. Although it was a "keeper" I let it go since I didn't have my knives with me. I decided to head back once I head the thunder crack from over top the ridge. i was still in the bay and couldn't see what was rolling in from the northwest. Once I did get around the point I could see the looming rainn cloud rolling in over the north end of the lake. A cap, A keeper fish and calm water. Ya can't ask anymore of Cold Lake. 657.389 2003-10-11T02:00:00-06:00 BCP081 Edmonton by outforthehunt, Benchmark (2/2) http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP081.html Edmonton Geocache Geocache|Benchmark Edmonton outforthehunt outforthehunt Benchmark Virtual 2 2 Canada Alberta <a href='http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP081.html'TARGET='resource window'>Past Finds for BCP081</a> <a href='https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=17395&LogType=2'TARGET='resource window'>Log Your Find</a> 3.7 M.

Guess I hadn't found my last after all! 2017-05-06T20:00:00 Found it mkPerry BCP081 Edmonton After getting a few more BCPs south of Edmonton came back in to grab this one. Parked and followed the trail up. We were on our own except for the constant background noise of the Whitemud. This ended up being an easier find than I thought it would be and as a bonus the cap numbers were legible. Since we were in the area we stopped to grab a couple of trads. Thanks outforthehunt for all the BCPs and the fun I've had over the last couple weeks getting most of the ones in the Edmonton area. 2017-05-02T20:00:00 Found it j0ckser BCP081 Edmonton Posted N 53° 28.917 W 113° 32.820 GPSr N 53° 28.915 W 113° 32.822 Email and numbers sent.

We started down at Rainbow Valley. A couple weeks ago, there was snow and slush everywhere. Today was a lovely day. We parked in the bottom and made our way up the hill. With this much underbrush and growth, I thought this one would be difficult to locate, but it was easier than I thought it would be.

I got pretty lucky with this cap. I parked in the nearby parking lot and left my tools in the car because I had planned on going for a longer walk for another cache. I normally don't look at context photos unless I have trouble finding the cap but with this one on the trail by the trees under the freshly fallen snow, I decided to look back on the walk over. I checked WillowZilla's context and once I got to GZ I tried to line it up. In the second spot that I kicked away the snow I just happened to kick the cap, cleaned it off and snapped my pics. Neat spot and and another great cap. TFTBC <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2016-07-23T20:00:00 Found it WillowZilla BCP081 - Edmonton I was out with only a gps and a phone today, none of my cap finding tools, so when I couldnt find it after a few minutes searching, I was concerned about dnfing. The photos from previous just looked like it was in the bush, but one of them kind of pointed towards some poplar trees, so i started searching about 2' from each tree around and lucked out. :) 2015-06-23T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP 081 Edmonton We parked in the parking area off Rainbow Valley Road and made the very enjoyable 400 or so meter walk to the cap. All uphill but it felt good to stretch the legs and Jack the puppy had a blast. Other finders context photos saved the day on this one as it was covered with leaf litter. There was a small depression which sealed the deal once I was lined up just right. Thanks for posting this cap ofth, it is located in a wonderful park with many trails to enjoy. 2014-09-20T20:00:00 Found it Kiwibirdman BCP081 Edmonton Surprisingly I did not need the metal detector today. It still took me about 10 minutes to find but it's not too tough. Thanks! 2014-08-02T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP081 Edmonton, this one took a lot of searching around before I finally located it. It doesn't appear that anyone has shot lines off of it quite awhile. 667 metres. 2013-05-25T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP081 Edmonton(( MyGPSr: N53 28.916 W113 32.821 (Elevation: 658m(( This one proved to be a bit stubborn. I'd seen a helpful context picture before I arrived, but wouldn't you know it didn't have my phone with me to check the picture again on screen. So all I had is my mind's eye, and, yes that can be a bit fuzzy at times. After shuffling around, poking and prodding, I returned to the nearby parked car and retrieved a fairly newly acquired metal detector. After I returned to the cap site and covering the area I'd already tried for a minute or so, I moved to new ground and voila there was a beep and there was the cap. Nice.(( Thanks for the cap! 2012-06-07T20:00:00 Found it MKFmly BCP081 Edmonton Posted Coordinates: N53° 28.917 W113° 32.820 My Phone Coordinates: N53° 28.917 W113° 32.819 Was down in the city for a week long course. Had a look for this one in the spring wiht snow still onthe ground. No luck then, but sucsess today before heading out for supper. Coming up the trail is much nicer than the road and hill. Thanks for the Cap, OFTH! 2011-11-16T20:00:00 Found it chevyragtop BCP081 Edmonton Found fairly quickly on a cool November day due to the cap was just above the light snow covering.

TFTH 2010-11-26T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP081: Edmonton Found the parking lot 400m to the west and walked over to this one. Again the context photos from TiE and VDD proved useful in narrowing the search area. The flagging in the tree is long gone, but a ring of flagging is still around the cap itself. Didn't need to clear as much snow here as the last one. 2010-09-12T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP081 I made my way across the rain-soaked field and then down the rain-soaked path which was now nice and mucky. I get to GZ and the GPS'r has issues settling down; decide to tough this one out. I pace off the reference distances and yet aiian come up empty. Let's try that once again. This time, paying closer attention to my headings, I step right on the jack pot. After leting the GPS'r settle in, I try to take a few pictures, only to find that the camera batteries or not strong enough to provide a flash; dusk is upon us. I exchange the batteries with those in the GPS'r; still not enough juice. Oh well, this cap is close enough to others that require my attenttion. A slight detour on the way home from work and I'll have the required photos for this log.

Found parking under 400m away and strolled over and up to the well marked cap. Thanks vdD! The cap protruded out of the snow also assisting in the easy find. We took the time to hunt a few caches along the ridge. Thanks for the cap! 2009-11-16T20:00:00 Found it MadMother BCP081 - Edmonton N53.28.917 W113.32.820 This was one of three today.

Even with the hint, the cap eluded for a few minutes. Eventually I found it at the bottom of a slight, leaf-filled depression. The cap is a bit battered, but all of the digits are still visible. I wrapped some of outforthehunt's flagging tape around the cap, and tied some more on a tree branch directly above the cap. How long it stays there is anybody's guess; I found a fair amount of improvised drug paraphernalia in the surrounding area, so it's obviously a party spot at times.

Did a quick, but close, off-road stop and up we went. I had looked for this one on my last trip to Edmonton but was unsuccessful. This time with three others and Old Yeller, we found it in about 10-15 minutes. In the end, we found it the hard way, with a compass. I left a little yellow and black glass prize for the next finder. We bumped into Brat&Testy and another cacher ( forgot her name ) as we started our search. When we finished it, we bumped into another cacher ( moved from Lethbridge to Edmonton ) and had a nice, but brief chat. Our last cap of the day ( total of 12 for me on this trip ) ... so many caps, so little time ... we'll be back! 2005-05-15T20:00:00 Found it Brat & Testy BCP 081 Lat: N53 28.917 Lon: W113 32.821 Well, this one had us stymied for quite a while. In fact we gave up earlier today. On our way out, we passed some very friendly visiting cachers (with a Huge Freaking Landmine Detector -- ok, it was a metal detector). After bagging a traditional cache, we decided to try this one again...it was in the neighbourhood..so to speak. No Problem...thanks to some good work on behalf of the visiting cachers :-) Brat&Testy geocachingedmonton.com http://geocachingedmonton.com 2003-10-13T20:00:00 Found it JoeyTomato I've had about 6 caches loaded into my GPSr for well over a week now but just couldn't find the time to get out until today. This was my first of 6 today (including a multi). This cap was close to home once again so I couldn't resist. It was a relatively easy find, even thought the previous finders <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_evil.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> re-covered it <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_tongue.gif" border="0" align="middle" /><img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" />.

By this point in the evening I was really tired and didn't really want to go after the cap at all, but for the fact it would have meant a drive out of the way in the morning. Luckily it turned out to be a nice quick roadside find. It looks like another trip up to this area will be necessary at some time in the future to find those last few caps up here.

I think the "adopt a cap" ad campaign has been a huge success: notice the stake directly beside the hole warning all concerned to leave this marker alone.

There is construction going on all around GZ, and we initially feared that the cap might have bit the dust. Fortunately, it's still there and easily accessible. You don't even have to remove the manhole cover, as it appears to be missing. A lathe marks the spot.

The Galt Gardens Master Plan was revised to include an all season feature (in summer a reflecting pool and in winter an ice skating pond).

At first, not finding any alternatives, I was fooled – partially, because that didn't seem right at all. I returned to the car to do some more research and found vdD's context photo showing where the cap actually is. I've pretty much reproduced his photo in my context shot, because it just works.

Mrs BVPete and Brutus waited in the car as I thought the 100 meter trip to the cap and the find would be very quick. Well, it turned out to be “not so quick” as she got tired of waiting and suddenly appeared on the scene to help me. She, of course found it instantly, perfectly visible in a large hole that my toes had almost been dangling in while I crawled around with the compass. How embarrassing is that! Oh well on to the next one. Thanks for posting this cap ofth; it is located in a scenic spot. The cap numbers in the photo are hidden by plaque commemorating some folks who had donated land for a park not too far from the Porters Hill cap. 2010-08-09T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP085 Medicine Hat Took a minute to locate - the post was throwing me off.

It took a minute or two of circling around before I spotted the last finder's excavation (the cap is almost 5 metres away from the pole, as you can see in the attached context photo).

TiE Jr was running in Edmonton next weekend so we decided to hook-up with him there and take the long way to Edmonton from Calgary via the Northwest Territories. Today's stop was in Hinton where we had time for a few unfound caps. This was the first stop of the day. We found the quad trail that passes for a road off the main forrestry road and took it to within 500m of the cap where overgrowth, trail water flow and branches causing geo-pinstriping on the truck meant it was time to park. I suggested that Mrs. TiE and Littlest TiE wait this one out in the truck as the past logs painted a pretty good picture of a tough bushwhack and a steep climb. There was no protest. I walked the wet trail to within 300m of the cap and then entered the bush. That had to be the worst bushwhack I have encountered to date. The lower section was boggy in places with lots of deadfall. The knee deep vegetation cover did a great job at hiding all these ground level features leading to some wet feet and scraped shins. The brush was pretty thick. I was thinking a machete would have been a good idea. When I hit the steep part I had to use my hands the whole way up. My first scramble that didn't involve rocks. I soon arrived at GZ and its view of bush, trees, bush and trees. My insect repellant did a good job at keep the mosquitos at bay, but the flies sure seemed attracted to it. Arghhh... The cap location was quite interesting. I spotted 2 reference pins with aluminum caps that looked prisitine. I then spotted the triangulation station cap cemented in a concrete cylinder and its target post laing next to it. Everything was in great shape. I found a more gentle and lighter bush way down the hill but then got trapped in the lower section and was not able to regain access to the trail until I was almost at the car. Phew! A memorable cap for sure. I understand why this one only gets visited every 3 years or so. Thanks for another challenge OFTH! More to come. 2012-05-17T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP086 - Hinton The last one of the night. We were planning on doing two more, but when we returned to our truck, the gas gauge was saying low gas and this truck does not go far at that point. Were were concerned since when we arrived, it said 1/4 tank. On the way to town, the gauge fluctuated a lot, but we made it and could have had enough fuel to do the other caps, but it was after 10PM and we had not had dinner yet and had to drive back to Edson. TFTH 2009-08-14T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP086 - Hinton Well this cap was really an adventure - especially with the auto-routing wanting to take every pasture access road in the area. Eventually with the process of road elimination we found ourselves parking about 300 metres from the cap site. The hike to the cap site was a pretty long 300 metres - lots of vertical and plenty of bush! Lots of fun - TFTH and fun - the picture is on the way! 2006-07-08T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP086-Hinton I seem to remember a bit of a bushwack to get to this one!

The toughest cap of the day! First a re-route that probably added about 40km to the trip, then a close drive to the cap, about 350 meters. From there it was an uphill climb of nothing but bushwacking, ugh! Klondike Mike zoomed ahead of us ( isn't he a smoker? ) and found the cap by the time we huffed our way to the cap.

The hint given sounds like it was written about that time too as it refers to a bridge no longer in existence and access on horse back. Once I had the point plotted in Fugawi on SoftMap topos it looked like I could get within a km on the pulp mill haul roads. It turned out the the trail shown on maps leading from the mill road was also passable for my car so I was able to park about 500 metres away and had a pleasant climb up to the cap. The caps location is completely overgrown with 5 metre trees so the view is limited. A target post was laying nearby which must have been used for backsites to the monument before it was overgrown. I had two GPSr's with me today. My trusty old Garmin 12 was 9 metres off horizontally and 5.4 metres vertically while my new Garmin 76 was off 6 metres in the horizontal and 3.4 metres in elevation. I was not able to get a WAAS lock due to the tree cover. I was also able to find two of the three rebar reference posts mentioned in the hint.

There was a fair bit of ice under the cover and it had melted away from the cap in two circular ridges. Why are caps that are protected by covers usually in such lousy shape? Several of the numbers are either iffy or gone on this one. I visited with the nearby horses after replacing the cover; wow, are they ever a dispirited bunch. I guess they know they aren't going to be getting many treats from the tourists. Thanks for the cap by the river. 2008-06-28T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP087 Edmonton Brass Cap day. A quick find today. TFTH. 2006-04-06T20:00:00 Found it kokoscoot BCP 087 - the equestrian club... I didn't have my camera with me today and I couldn't get the numbers off the cap (they are chipped away) but I will e-mail a description... Thanks! 2005-11-27T20:00:00 Found it Klondike Mike BCP087 Edmonton N53 30.028 W113 32.858 A quick find on bike <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Can't get many numbers off this one. thanks 2005-11-03T20:00:00 Found it Viajero Perdido BCP087 Edmonton Equine Center What, you didn't like driving 15 extra minutes to save 15m of walking, Mr. Speedy? <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> By my measurements, I'm sure we saved at least 100m of tiresome walking. Definitely worth the extra drive, right? Yeah, found the manhole by feel underfoot; once you have a manhole, the cap's location is pretty obvious. Nice spot and walk! 2005-11-03T20:00:00 Found it Mr. Speedy BCP087 - Edmonton Equine Center Second visit to this one. This time with some help from Viajero Perdido. I wanted to park at the same place as before, but VP indicated to me there may be a closer parking spot (mine was some 700 meters from the cap). So we drove around to the top of the hill and when we parked at the trail head, we were about 685 meters from the cap! Much better! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Plus we had to go down hill and then back up! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_evil.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks VP! (It wasn't that bad! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" />) Last time I thought this was going to be a quick grab-n-go, especially knowing that it was a manhole kind. Well, with all the grown up weeds, I couldn't find anything. Even the ol'yeller let me down. This time, the weeds were pretty much dead, but it was the leaves that gave us a hard time. At some point, using the hints, VP felt a spongy spot and started kicking some leaves around and voilà! There it was. I'm glad we found this one before winter! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> TFTBCP OFTH. Probably the cap that made me walk the most! (Although I still haven't done any of those mountain caps!) Mr. Speedy 2005-10-01T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP087 - Edmonton Equine Centre A quick find and a Survey Monument with a removable lid. Wow, this is the first one we've opened that didn't need a special tool.

After finding Tinier Cache, New Direction said "There's a cap only 350 meters from here" so down we went and after about a 1km walk we found the cap, and a road that we could've driven to the cap on ... THANKS A LOT NEW DIRECTION! 2005-04-23T20:00:00 Found it Bush Creatures N53 30.427 W113 32.856 Nice day for a bike ride but they are ripping out the old road that goes down from Sask. Drive. Expect some rough trails. 2005-04-04T20:00:00 Found it GPSVixen BCP087 - Whitemud Equine Center What a beautiful walk, still a little stiff from all of the walking I did in Calgary yesterday. Found the Brass Cap no problem. That's the smallest manhole cover I have ever seen. Lots, and lots of horses around. Should of brought a carrot. Vixie 2004-11-22T20:00:00 Found it PDOP's BCP087 Found this one after doing the Horse's Behind cache by the Whitemud Equine cente. The cap is pretty beat up despite being in a covered well. Nice day for a walk and I haven't been on this road since it closed to vehicle traffic years ago. 2003-11-06T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx Late, as usual, but no one bothered with this 22 Oct 03 Edmonton posting from what I can see.

Then we grabbed a geocache nearby to move my trackables to Lethbridge. it was all good. Cap # 21 today...it was getting near that supper time feeling about now and the streets were starting to be empty of locals. 2017-04-24T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP088 - Lethbridge Posted: N49° 39.798' W112° 49.123' My GPSr: N49° 39.797' W112° 49.127' We parked on the nearby street and walked the 100 some odd meters into this one.

I wanted to walk along the top of the coulee from the last cap to this cap. Unfortunately I was very quickly running out of time before I had to be back for supper so I decided to drive over and found another convenient spot to park. I made the really nice walk over to the viewpoint and spotted the cap quickly. It sure would be relaxing to sit in these benches and just take in the view. After this cap I headed back for supper. I was happy to get these four before supper because they were the only ones in this area that I needed. Thanks for another great cap with another fantastic view.

It was only a short walk from BCP298 to this cap on the edge of the coolie. I always find this terrain to be scenic. Thanks for the cap. 2016-04-30T20:00:00 Found it nosweat6060 BCP088 Lethbridge This cap is in pristine condition. Amazing since it is exposed to the elements. There are places to sit and enjoy the coulee nearby. Bring a coffee and enjoy the moment. Thanks to OFTH for setting this one up. 2015-09-26T20:00:00 Found it geo-dunc BCP088 Lethbridge I found the cap after a quick search of the area, it was at ground level but easy to spot.

It was dark, cold and EXTREMELY WINDY! I had to walk around two snow fences on teh way to this cap. I wish I would have read the previous logs before I walked to the cap as I left my metal detector in the truck. After searching for several minutes in the flattened tall grass, I made the walk back to get the detector. After returning, it was a pretty quick find. TFTH! 2011-07-21T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP 088 Lethbridge. We were thwarted on this one the last time by very deep grass and setting sun. This time, armed with day light and a metal detector, we were all over it in minutes. TFTCap 2011-07-21T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP088 Lethbridge 49 39.797 112 49.124 This one is secreted away in the tall prairie grass. Last time we were here it eluded us, but today we stumbled upon the remains of a ground post and the rest was easy. 2011-06-16T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP088 Lethbridge N49° 39.798’ W112° 49.121’ This cap gave us the most trouble as the grass was long and covered the cap completely. Finally, I had to go back to car and get the compass (that should have been in my pocket). After much stooping and waving of the compass through the grass I got a deflection that proved to be the stub of the marker post. After that the cap was soon exposed and #5 was in the bag. We were glad the wind was still blowing as it kept the mosquitoes down, there were lots of those nasty creatures in the grass. Thanks for the cap with a view ofth. 2011-02-13T20:00:00 Found it The Wilde Ones BCP088 Lethbridge N49° 39.798 W112° 49.123 Finally found it now that some of the snow is gone. 2010-11-03T20:00:00 Found it Northof49 Found BCP 088 2010-10-29T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP088 Lethbridge This cap took a bit of searching to find in that it was well hidden in the long grasses growing in the area. This time of year the cap and the grass are almost a perfect match in colour too. Thanks, The Dawntreaders 2010-07-24T20:00:00 Found it Joci I found BCP088 last night on my way down to the coulees to get some caching done and the coords for this one was in my GPS. I would just walk by it so I went to see it but could not get pics. of it because did not have camera with me. So I went back today to get some of it and also get an other one near by (BCP286). The interesting thing is when I was done caching last night I came up from the coulees at a diferent place and just walked by an interesting post up the coulees. It looked painted not that long ago and a new plate on it. It is an unpublished brass cap I found there. So I went back there too, to get some pictures off of it. I hope this one will be published one day because it would be interesting for me, I found one before it is published. Thanx for the cap. Joci ! 2010-06-12T20:00:00 Found it Klondike Mike BCP088 Lethbridge We had some time in the morning do some caching and well all I loaded in the gps were caps lol. We enjoyed the nice view this morning while locating this one in the long grass. tfth 2010-04-05T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP088 Lethbridge Took me a minute - it was hidden right out in the open.

After finding BCP286 nearby with no problems, I decided to walk over to this one rather than go back to the car and look for closer parking. Since every cap so far had been easy to find, I'd left all my cap hunting gear in the car. So naturally, it looked like I was going to need it for this one! There was no guard pole, and the cap didn't appear to be above ground level. It actually didn't take very long to find, but I was kicking myself all the time I was searching. The cap is flush with the ground and is in very good shape. Thanks for the cap. 2008-08-09T20:00:00 Found it Everhollow BCP088 - Lethbridge N49° 39.798 W112° 49.123 We didn’t have time to sit on the bench and just enjoy the coulee view.

Lethbridge really looks after their caps! This one has a similar view of the Old Man River valley but also has views of the U of L building (designed by Arthur Erickson and the first university building to ever be featured on a Canada Post stamp) and the Lethbridge train trestle (longest one in North America with a length of 1 mile and a height of 314 feet).

But we knew that it was close to a marker pole that was broken off at ground level - and the broken off marker pole was the first thing that we saw. The cap was nearby, as usual.

The Siva managed to locate the chopped off survey stake first, had it cleared off nicely to take the photograph and then placed my knee on something hard hidden in a the middle of a clump of grass.

Thankyou for the cap in a nice rural setting Outforthehunt. 2016-09-09T20:00:00 Found it Safari Cachers BCP089 Irricana Replacement Out for the day with UBOFF.

Thanks for luring me here to Irricana. I was curious about the name: it's a combination of “irrigation” and “canals”, which I can understand there might be a lot of around here. That's a different way of naming a town, isn't it? Thanks for the cap! 2015-04-16T20:00:00 Found it The Geers BCP089 Irricana Replacement Out with Brendan714, TFTBC. 2015-04-16T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP089 Irricana Replacement N51° 19.056 W113° 36.658 Final cap of the night.

Brass cap found in Irricana (Irricana Replacement) : BCP089 - N51 19.056 W113 36.658 #2222 TFTC - Greetings from sunny Nice 2011-07-09T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP089 Irricana Replacement 51 19.056 113 36.658 Tracking down this cap turned into quite the adventure. When we arrived just before 10am the fire department had the roads blocked off in preparation for a parade. Our car is getting old, but not quite old enough to sneak into the parade of vintage vehicles. We opted to wait and grab it on our return trip and by 3pm the only thing on the road was a lone prairie dog and at least one fella in a Hell's Angels jacket. Who knew Irricana was such a happening place. Thanks for the excellent country drive today OFTH. 2011-06-29T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP089 Irricana Replacement: I found the cap below ground level and there is no longer a fence here.

I really shouldn't. It was pouring, and the lightning was so close at times that the thunder almost seemed to happen first. So of course, I stopped. Although I was able to park within 30 metres of the cap, the width and depth of water flowing in the ditch that was between me and the survey stake meant that I ended up taking a 300 metre walk before finding a spot narrow enough to jump. The cap was found easily, and I snapped a quick picture before retreating to the car. Thanks for the cap! (edited to add the waypoint) [This entry was edited by van der Decken on Saturday, June 07, 2008 at 6:17:45 PM.] 2007-10-21T20:00:00 Didn't find it BearGPS BCP 089 & BCP 317 Both of these appear to be victims of ongoing construction. One is now part of an Airdrie subdivision and the other is (almost) in the middle of Stoney Trail. 2007-09-11T20:00:00 Didn't find it GeoKs BCP089 Airdrie We pulled out the compasses and hand trowels for this one and finally gave up the hunt after about 20 minutes. Back in Calgary we see from past logs that DanOCan DNF'd this one back in June. Maybe if he brings his metal detector and we bring our shovels we can pair up and find this it. On the other hand, there's a new road, a new asphalt sidewalk and lots of residential development in the area, so maybe we'd need a jackhammer!!! 2007-06-16T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan Fresh off the failure at BCP089 I was hoping to turn my luck around at this cap and that's exactly what happened. I sent Mrs. DanOCan across the street to get into the coffee lineup while I snapped some pics of the cap. 2007-06-16T20:00:00 Didn't find it DanOCan BCP089 - Airdrie First attempt of the day -- no love. There looks like there has been some recent landscaping and grass planting in the area. I swept the ground with the metal detector and found a couple of likely spots but I lacked a digging implement so when scraping the ground with my shoe didn't reveal anything I decided to move on. 2007-05-27T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri BCP089 - Airdrie The last find of the day. This one had been dug up by a survey team... Are they allowed to do that? TFTH.

They drove off a couple of minutes after my wife and I got there. 2004-09-01T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP089 Airdrie Second cap I found in Airdrie today.

I wonder if OFTH knows them? 2004-04-18T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP089 - Airdrie Went for a Sunday drive in a loop northwest of Calgary. Ended up driving by the current location (Blue Hill Lookout), but didn't have time to even find the start for that hike, let alone try it. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> This one was the first of a few caps I found today. Man, Airdrie is growing. My topo has the closest urban area being 2km away, but I probably could have hit a house with a rock from this cap. 2003-11-16T20:00:00 Found it terradoug One in Airdrie.

I vaguely remember there being snow on the ground. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blackeye.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Not a lot, just enough of a skiff to keep me from finding anything and calling myself and idiot for trying.

In fact, the picnic table closest to this BC was even in use when I arrived at GZ but they didn't seem too concerned about what I was doing. Thankfully this BC was found recently which made my search much easier. I'm always amazed how little extraneous digging people have to do to reveal the BC. Despite it being somewhat protected, it's definitely showing signs of wear and tear. TFTBC. One more on my target list for today. 2017-04-19T20:00:00 Found it Geo Gnomes148 BCP091 - Bowness Replacement The beginning of my extended period of time spent at Bowness park while the gnomes play. 3 hour stint this day. 2017-04-15T20:00:00 Found it Citizen_22 BCP091 Bowness Replacement The little citizens cousins were in town for a visit. He also has been out geocaching from time to time so he was interested in finding a brass cap with us today. Once near GZ I mentioned that we might be looking for a small hole amongst the leaves (based on previous context shots). About 2 minutes later he says "Here's a hole!" and finds the cap. Nicely done. I had to tell him it's not like other caches as we can't take it out of the ground and it's not a secret container either! Thanks for the cap that we could share with the geo-cousin today! 2017-04-14T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv I found BCP091 Bowness Replacement. With my phone giving me issues earlier, I decided to leave it plugged in the car while I came to look for this cap. Of course I hadn't checked into the cap or brought tools, I just came with my GPS. When I got to GZ there were a lot of leaves laying on the ground and I was sure hoping to find a depression. I searched around for a little bit without spotting it. I went back to the car, checked a few context photos on my phone and then grabbed my tools to come back. This park was sure busy today and I got a few odd looks walking with a metal detector and a shovel. I made my way to GZ and went to where I had seen in the context photos and immediately spotted the hole with the cap in it. I didn't even need the tools that I was getting the weird looks for, oh well. Thanks for another great cap and introducing me to another really nice park.

Some research suggested we had the spot but not the depth. Took a compass to confirm the spot and had to excavate a little ice with a trusty Swiss army knife (again) to get to the cap for the find. It was a good 10cm down.

I showed him the compass technique and in short order I heard "Found it Grandpa!". He was so enthralled with having learned a new use for a compass, and on our way back to the car we talked about magnets, electro-magnets, electrical motors, Jupiter's magnetic field .... a very curious young lad he is!! 2016-03-02T20:00:00 Found it stormcrow50 BCP 091 stonehedge 51 02.708 114 10.696 2015-06-25T20:00:00 Found it Switty 13 BCP091 Bowness Replacement N 51° 05.844' W 114° 13.351' Elevation 1064m I was in Bowness Park this morning picking up a few caches nearby.

I located the cap more or less where I had been looking but about 4 inches below ground level. The cap itself has been spray painted, was a bit muddy and banged up but I was still able to get most of the numbers off it. I found this one on the way back to the car after enjoying a nice walk with my family (and finding the rest of the caches in the park <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" />).

I was looking at the wrong side of the tree. I had gotten a photo from a previous finder but it still took a bit of searching to find the cap. So nice to have this off the list! Thanks for the cap! 2015-04-19T20:00:00 Found it jcgul BCP091 Bowness Park Replacement After some digging through the leaves and mud we found the cap. Gorgeous day near the bow today! 2014-05-24T20:00:00 Found it k5¢ents BCP091 - Bowness Replacement We spent most of the day at the Bowness Eddies, refining our skills for the white water that would come the next day. The park was closed, and we had paddled across from the other side. Around lunch time, a friendly security guard drove up and watched us practice our eddy turns and such. When we broke for lunch, I asked if it was OK to venture about 60 meters south for the cap. No problem as long as I used the pathway. Permission granted to enter the closed park, I headed on over. Needed my compass to track down the goods, took most of my lunch break, as it was covered with leaves and silt. Now back to the cold water... Thanks. 2013-05-03T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP091 - Bowness Replacement N51° 05.844 W114° 13.349 Took a few minutes to find.

The grass is extremely long and there is no stake here now. I made the find by using patience and stomp method. On the way home I stopped at Canadian Tire and bought cheap compasses so they might be of use next time around!

The numbers are hard to read (isn't that the way). T4TC 2012-04-02T20:00:00 Found it MKFmly Up early to do some caching and cap hunting before the long trip home. Even though it was bit fresh there were quite a few pedestrians (two and four legged) about. We relocated to the other side of the Bow to get this one.

The sunset reflecting off the clouds was amazing. The colours and texture of the clouds would have been "fake" if it was in a photo. Really neat!! The cap has been really spray painted. Dad scraped some of the paint off but we couldn't read the numbers. Dad's going save this one for a safety to keep his streak alive. He thinks maybe he'll be able to see the numbers better in the day time.

Beautiful, warm, sunny fall day to be out caching! 2010-10-15T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP091 Bowness Replacement. I thought it would be a lot harder to find with the wet snow today on top of all of the leaves, but I found it after just a very brief search. 2010-10-10T20:00:00 Found it Losmir BCP091 - Bowness Replacement Location: N51°05.844 W114°13.352 Elevation: 1067m I thought we might have a tough time with this one after reviewing the previous logs and thinking about all the leaves that would be covering the cap area. Sometimes you just get lucky... the GPS lead us almost directly to it and after a quick brushing away of the leaves, there was the cap. This cap is in poor shape with only the year being legible. 2010-10-10T20:00:00 Found it narloth BCP091 - Bowness Replacement We managed to find this one without too much difficulty though we were expecting problems with all the leaves in the area.

Those 3cm BGL caps can be killers. There is almost no depression in the ground. I had to clear off a thick layer of dirt. I realy thought I was going to have to DNF this one, but managed to find it just before I ran out of time. For now, it is cleaned off, but now with the city's "No Mow Zone" policy, and the inevitable long grass, this one looks to get harder as summer approaches. 2009-06-21T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP091b Calgary (Bowness Park rreplacement) N51° 05.844 W114° 13.349 Finally!!! 2009-06-11T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP091 Bowness Replacement This one, was a tricky find.

There were too many mosquitoes to get really down and dirty with the metal detector and a phone call from Mrs. DanOCan finally put an end to my hunt. 2008-06-09T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP091 - Bowness Replacement N51 05.844 W114 13.349 GPSr: N51 05.844 W114 13.352 Bowness is a community district in west Calgary. It was an autonomous town until 1964 when it was annexed by the city of Calgary. The neighbourhood is bordered by the Bow River on the north and east, 16th Avenue on the south, and Stoney Trail on the west. Immediately over the river to the east lies the community of Montgomery, itself an autonomous town until Calgary annexed it in 1963. On the northwest end of the community is one of Calgary's most popular parks, Bowness Park. The park sits between the Bow River and a lagoon, and is popular for picnics, summer sports, ice skating in the winter, and boating. It is also part of the city's large pedestrian pathway network. To the south-east, it is bordered by Edworthy Park. The area was first occupied as a ranch in about 1896. John Hextall was responsible for the plans that led to the development of the village, which later grew to a town. Hextall through his company, Bowness Land Development Company, planned to develop the area into an exclusive bedroom community. In 1911, Hextall donated some of his land to the city, receiving in return street-car access to Bowness. This necessitated the building of the John Hextall Bridge with crosses the Bow River and connected Bowness to Calgary. Sadly, Hextall died in 1914 and only five of the grand homes he envisioned had been built. The cap is an easy find in Bowness Park but has had a hard life. Thanks for the cap. 2008-06-08T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP091 ~ Bowness Replacement. I was driving by to pick up one of the Boys so I stopped it to see if I could find some brass first.

Thanks for the hunt and the pictures are on the way. 2008-06-02T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP091 Bowness Replacement Alt. 1089 metres I actually came looking for this one yesterday, but I must have had the old coordinates for BCP091 in my GPS, as it took me to a picnic shelter. A very occupied picnic shelter! Needless to say, I didn't even bother trying to look. I returned today and was puzzled when the GPS ended up taking me to a completely different part of the park. That's when the penny dropped and I realized I must have forgotten to update the coordinates before heading out yesterday. Anyhow, it took a few minutes of probing around in the grass (and only one false alarm) before I heard the welcome sound of metal on metal. The cap is in fine shape, and the next finder should have a much easier time of it. Thanks for the cap! 2006-07-10T20:00:00 Write note nicolo BCP091 - Calgary (Bowness Park) N51° 05.911 W114° 13.235 I forgot to mention this cap when we were discussing replacement caps. This one is definitely missing. When I found this cap in November of 2004, most of the pipe was exposed and it was probably the June floods of last year that finished this one off. We had an event in Bowness Park early this year ( ? ), about 80 meters from the cap. Red90 and I checked it out ... gonzo! Please suh, we'd like anuthu. 2006-06-20T20:00:00 Didn't find it Foster Bros BCP091 - Bowness Park ARG. Armed with compass AND super-capper Peter, we still couldn't find it.

Foster Bros 2006-05-30T20:00:00 Didn't find it Foster Bros BCP091 - Bowness Park Took Peter by there today as he seems to have a gift for caps and we couldn't find it before. But there was no luck on this one. Judging by the nearby water main and sprinkler that are 6-9 inches underground, this one's likely buried too. Would attempt again if we had an experienced cap finder with us (eg. nicolo...) Older Foster Bro 2005-11-27T20:00:00 Didn't find it Red90 BCP091 Calgary (Bowness Park) I had a look yesterday at the event and couldn't see it.

This was my first stop and it was a nice short walk from the parking lot. When I got to GZ I spotted a divot, and after a quick swipe with my metal detector I knew I had found the cap. After chipping away at the ground I decided to run a good swipe with my metal detector and realized the cap wasn't in the divot but was right beside it. I had the cap uncovered soon after that.

Thanks for the cap! 2015-07-25T20:00:00 Found it kristaandgeoff BCP092 - Edmonton N 53 32.363 W 113 32.442 This one was well placed near a picnic table and a great tree to have a picnic under - but alas, with the rain teeming down, no picnickers were around today. Makes for a muggle free cap hunt. Just below ground and after a few shots, we were on our way again. T4TCap 2015-06-23T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP 092 Edmonton It was a quick trip over here from RAM cap and a very quick find using other folks context photos.

But it was all we needed. And there was no missing the bright pink everywhere...on the tree, on the lath, on the cap, even on the grass on the knoll! This is a much pinker cap than BCP172! Despite the thick coat of paint, the numbers are still readable. A ladybug was visiting, too, but was quite camera shy. She tried to hitch a ride on the back of the GPS but we noticed her before the GPS was stuffed into a pocket so she was gently put back near the cap. Thanks for the cache and the cap, outforthehunt! 2014-09-14T20:00:00 Found it boombear BCP092 Edmonton Out with the kiwibirdman today on a brass cap adventure. Parked the geo mobiles and had a nice walk through some of Edmonton's nicest areas - from the Royal Alberta Museum, across the Groat Road Bridge, through Hawrelak Park, up to Emily Murphy Park, and then back to where we started. Glad to be able to enjoy a nice day outside with fall in full effect. His new metal detector came in handy several times. Made for an epic day. TFTBCPS. I will bulk email the CO all my pictures to prove that we were there. 2014-08-25T20:00:00 Found it Kiwibirdman BCP092 Edmonton Found today after a bit of a search. Required a bit of digging to get at it! Thanks! 2013-06-18T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP092 – Edmonton Posted Coords: N53 32.362 W113 32.439 My GPSr: N53 32.363 W113 32.439 My Elevation: 637 m( Parking is very convenient for this one! I tried searching with only the GPSr and my eyes, and came up with one likely spot but that seemed to come to nothing, so after fetching the detector, I tried the same spot and sure enough the cap was hiding under about an inch of soil off to the side of where I was searching first. Cheeky monkey! Thanks for the cap! 2011-11-11T20:00:00 Found it chevyragtop BCP092 Edmonton Found on a nice November afternoon. The fallen leaves hide the cap well. Thanks for the hunt, ofth 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP092 Edmonton 8:27am Wow, this one was surprisingly tough for us. Turned out it was indeed buried in the first place we looked but I guess we hadn't given the metal detector enough of a chance to scan the spot. It was approximately 1.5m sw of the large deciduous tree. 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP092 Edmonton This took longer than expected and we had to resort to technology (the metal detector) and the logs of previous finders to help. We eventually narrowed our search down to the area surrounding the treee on the knoll. The metal detector picked up a lot of metal debris at first and then that sweat sound of something that could only be solid brass when it hovered over the spot about 1.5 m S.W. of the tree. TFTCap 2011-05-31T20:00:00 Didn't find it wavector BCP092 Argghh. It was there but I was fooled by the hole.

The weather was better than forecast, and my luck finding caps was pretty good. This one was no exception. It was awfully tempting to sit and enjoy the scenery and sun at this one, but there were more caps calling my name. The cap is in fantastic shape and easy to find. Thanks for the cap! 2009-02-07T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP092 Edmonton N53° 32.362 W113° 32.439 A memorable cap. Parked within 50 m of the cap. Proceeded up to the likely tree that hid the cap and while lookin down for it, drove my head into a very sharp branch causing several cuts on my forehead. I just can't wait for all the "What did you do...?" comments. Doh! When will I learn? The darn cap turned out to be under the next tree. Fortunately the deeper snow had been cleared recently and there was only a light dusting to uncover the quickly found cap.

It's not uncommon to find caps with difficult or impossible to read numbers, but we've never seen one where even the lettering around the edge is mostly gone without a trace!

In 2006 there was just dirt at the Cap area and it was buried, my trusty compass made the find. Now the area was covered in grass and I'll admit that I was scratching my head for a while, thinking that it was buried again. I should've approached the search the normal way ... look for depressions in the ground. Once I used that approach I quickly found the Cap 👍👍 Took a few pics and headed out. 2017-07-09T20:00:00 Found it nosweat6060 BCP097 Calgary - Replacement [FOUND] Cap #7 (and my last for today).

There's been some nights I've driven by here and the area is full of muggles but tonight, no one was around. My GPSr put GZ on the one side of the barrier which just happened to have a number of divots that looked like very viable places for a BC. I searched all of them without any success so I decided to try the other side of the barrier and pretty much walked right up to the BC. I guess I should have started on this side. D'oh! No digging required either. TFTBC. Proof on its way. 2017-04-17T20:00:00 Found it behmSquad BCP097 Calgary - Replacement This was day 3 of finding every cache in sight.

We grabbed a cache in the northeast end of the city and then punched in a cache near the CITO event to get us down there. I followed my GPS and as we were driving by here I noticed this cap so we pulled over to grab it. We searched for a little bit but when the metal detector had a reading we just kicked away some dirt to expose the cap. Neat location and another great brass cap.

Fortunately, I had read an earlier log that noted the blue flagging tied to the nearest point of the chain link fence, which is about 5 feet from the cap. Good thing the flagging is still there, because there was a layer of dirt covering the cap, which is flush with the ground. A quick wipe with an old sock, and the cap was ready for its pictures. Thanks for another one. 2014-04-29T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP097 Calgary - Replacement N51° 04.253 W114° 10.021 Quick cap grab while biking through Shouldice. 2013-09-09T20:00:00 Found it uh-oh BCP097 - Calgary - Replacement Posted coordinates: N51° 04.253 W114° 10.021 My coordinates: N51° 04.253 W114° 10.024 We needed a cache and we're kinda sorta trying to work towards a challenge...

I used every possible tool I had....tape measure, screw driver, compass and photo hints from previous finds. Of significance is the fact some of the landmarks have changed from previous photos. Once I figured that out, I got down on my hands and knees and used the compass. I can't explain how excited I got when I saw the needle go all haywire! Just a bit of tapping and then brushing and the cap was revealed. I'm getting such a kick out of finding brass caps! Wish I had listened to Foster Bros and took the hobby up years ago. Thanks! 2012-06-01T20:00:00 Didn't find it Foster Bros BCP097 - Calgary - Replacement My patience for this one was short as there were about a hundred marching band practices going on... between the various drums, trumpets, and metronomes combined with all the parents wandering around, I really didn't want to be here more than 5 minutes. I didn't have a metal detector or compass with me and didn't see anything obvious so I let it go rather quickly.

I thought I had dressed for function over fashion today but it was really a lot colder than I had bargained for. LOL!! Thanks for the brass cap.

I put a little tripod of sticks over it, just to see how long that will last. 2008-08-23T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP097 Calgary Replacement N51° 04.254’ W114° 10.021’ (my GPSr) This was a very busy place today with people walking around me as I unburied the cap. Those slight depressions are very useful – I think I am getting better at this. Thanks for selecting this survey control point for your Brass Cap page ofth. 2008-06-02T20:00:00 Found it Everhollow BCP097 - Calgary - Replacement N51° 04.253 W114° 10.021 No problems locating this brass cap today. Thank you. 2008-05-20T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP097 Calgary - Replacement Alt. 1071 metres Despite a full slate of ball games going on tonight, I was able to park right in front of the cap. It was concealed only by a small layer of dirt. Thanks for an easily accessible cap. 2007-09-08T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP097 CalgaryReplacement Confession time - Mrs. GeoK and the GeoKids looked for this brass cap for probably 45 minutes in August of 2006. We'd only been geocaching for a few weeks, had found maybe a half dozen caps (in sidewalks and on top of mountains) and decided to go for this one, since we were in the area. We had no idea what we were doing!! I laugh to think back, the way the signal bounce off the chain link fence had us running back and forth around the fence through the gate onto the playing field, with NO success at all. Of course, we finally gave up, but in our embarrassment I don't think we logged our DNF<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blush.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. Today was another story. The parking lot was completely full, on account of several games underway on the various playing fields. Mr. GeoK dropped Mrs. GeoK and the GeoKids off and then left to find a parking spot somewhere. We experienced the same chain link fence-induced signal bounce today, but were more patient, letting things settle down. Then youngest GeoKid pronounced that the dirt looked disturbed in one particular location, took the hand trowel and within a couple of seconds we heard the distintive scrape of metal on metal. Sure enough, there it was (and I don't think we got within 10 meters of it last year!). Thanks for the challenging location. E-mail already sent. EDIT: Guess it's kind of fitting that this brass cap which gave us so much trouble last summer turned out to be our 50th! 2007-07-07T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP097 -- Calgary (replacement) Cap was quite covered over in dirt. After wandering around for a little while I decided to use the description and tried to pace off the distance. I then bent down and the metal detector confirmed there was something under the dirt. Some quick digging with a stick and soon I had the brass in sight. Lacked my normal camera today so I had to settle for a crappy picture taken with my cell phone. 2007-05-02T20:00:00 Found it The Old Clam Shuckers BCP097 N51 04.764 W114 10.022 Quiet on the sports fields. 2007-04-12T20:00:00 Found it wildwoodke BCP097 Calgary - Replacement N51° 04.253 W114° 10.021 A small amount of dirt removal on the depression in the ground revealed this shiny cap under the light of a flashlight <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" />.

Lots of those damned cottonwood tree "droppings" around, good thing I took a Claritin before heading out today. Looked around, paying attention to the hint and figured that it had to be in this spot ... nada. Of course, no Old Yeller with me either, rats! Now what? Oh yeah, I have my compass, duh. Started sweeping and quickly BAM, down went the needle! Yee haa! Took out my camera as I wanted to take a pic, pre-dig. What, the batteries are dead! Oh noooo! But wait, I have my phone camera ... good boy Razr. Took a pic or two and started poking with my screwdriver to find the places to dig ... seemed a little big. Started digging and quickly uncovered the cap about two inches below ground - it DOES look a litte big. Guess I'm FTF on this, eh? So got home and was only able to send the first and last pics that I took, odd. Oh well. 2006-06-11T20:00:00 Write note outforthehunt Thanks for the feedback.Here are some that will be replaced.

I did a quick search and found something I wasnt sure about. I saw that Reastick had logged this one as scalped he had sent me a pic of his find and it was what I had seen as well. Yup this sucker had been de "cap"itated. 2004-10-15T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP097 - Edworthy Park (West) Second stop today. This one appears to have been scalped.

Nice view from the West end of town this morning! 2017-04-08T20:00:00 Found it nosweat6060 BCP098 Claresholm This was a quick park and find. Oh no! I just read a previous log and understand that these Brass Caps will no longer be allowed. That is too bad - I have enjoyed them even more than the tupperware kind and my thanks to everyone involved in keeping this going, and a very special thanks to OFTH. I understand the rationale for not having multiple finds, but would like to suggest that a new category called something like Brass Caps or Benchmarks be created. These are very close to the original guidelines for geocaching and focus specifically on the GPS coordinates. 2016-07-30T20:00:00 Found it behmSquad BCP098 Claresholm We made a quick stop here on our way down to Waterton Lakes NP.

We saw the BCP stake and walked over to it through the tall grass and Mr. ManjaLou stepped on it before we saw it...so you could say we stumbled Upon it. A nice easy cap that's above ground. Great views from here.

Of course our route included stops at a few different towns to locate some brass caps. This was the first and I really have no idea why I missed getting this one previously. I guess I just assumed I had found all the older caps close to Hwy 2 south long ago. However, when getting the data for the new Claresholm cap I realized that I had no recollection of finding this one, so I checked and I had not. So, there you have it and I have it and now we are off to locate the new cap on the other side of town. Thanks for the Claresholm cap ofth. 2012-07-21T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP098 Claresholm.

We will be getting our 1000th cache, celebrating our 1 year of caching! This was find #996 for us! Our fourth Brass Cap today! The hole was very deep which made it difficult to see anything! After some poking around, we found the cap, but trying to take a picture of it was the really tricky part. It was too dark down there! Made it hard to take a good picture of the gps and cap, but here's our best shot! 2014-07-30T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP099 - Hinton Posted: N53 22.139 W117 39.337 Posted: N53 22.139 W117 39.338 Found the flattened metal guard post, then found the cap about 1 foot in front of it and 6 inches below ground level.

There was the cap. If you're using the context shot for a future find, use the sign as a reference, not the car in the background. I moved that car to get to the next cap find.

Thanks for the cap! 2009-06-07T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP099 - Hinton Elev. 1029 metres A whirlwind late day dash through Hinton, lookin' for caps. That pretty much sums up what I was up to late Sunday afternoon. A leisurely drive through the mountains turned into a 14 hour marathon round trip drive from Calgary and back again. It wouldn't have taken that long except that I took the scenic route across #11, up the Icefields Parkway to Jasper and finally eastwards to Hinton. On the one hand it's too bad my time constraints only left me with time to do easy drive up caps, but on the other hand, having to skip some caps means I have more to find on another trip! I spotted the guard post for this cap as I parked on the other side of the road, and the cap wasn't much harder to spot when I got over to it. All I needed to do was scoop some leaves and dirt out of the hole by hand and give the brass a light polish. The cap is in good shape, and the only significant marks on its surface obscure the first bit of the date.

It sure surprised the bikers and the second one said "You can tell we're in Banff" as they rode by me. After that I found the cap.

Good thing we cap searchers use cameras and not shovels for our hunting!! E-mail with photo is on the way. BCP100 is located just off Tunnel Mountain Drive near a small parking area which is used by tour bus operators looking to provide tourists with a short walk to view some hoodoos, a beautiful view of the Banff Springs Hotel and an easy (ie downhill) “hike” from the parking area down to the Banff townsite. This is exactly what many people mean when they say they’ve “been hiking in the Canadian Rockies”!! Tunnel Mountain is nearly completely encircled by the town of Banff and the Banff Springs Hotel grounds. Viewed from the north and east, Tunnel Mountain resembles a sleeping buffalo, which explains why the Stoney people called this mountain “Sleeping Buffalo”. The name Tunnel Mountain originates from the fact that in 1882, a team of surveyors for the CPR assumed that the easiest path for the railway would be generally to follow the Bow River but in order to avoid multiple crossings and steep cliffs between the northwestern edge of Mount Temple and the Sleeping Buffalo, they determined to construct a 275 m tunnel through the tiny mountain. James Van Horne, CPR General Manager, refused to delay construction for the year and a half it would take to build the tunnel, and sent the surveyors back out to find an alternate route. They did! The new route was north of Tunnel Mountain, which incidentally, shortened the railway by a mile and avoided two long hills, saving the CPR millions of dollars. While the idea of the tunnel was one of the “most extraordinary blunder[s]”, the mountain is still called Tunnel Mountain to this day. 2009-06-26T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP100 Banff Posted N51° 11.342 W115° 31.410 GPSr N51° 11.342 W115° 31.410 Another spot that we've visited several times before.

There was a large juniper at GZ that caused me to gasp for a second, but there was the cap nicely exposed. More great views. Trekked up to see the hoodoos again. Thanks for the cap. 2009-04-12T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP100 Banff Yet another cap with a fine view, I'm out here enjoying the hunt today to be sure, although must confess that this brass was pointed out to me by a capping rookie...very humbling. TFTCap in a great spot OFTH! 2008-12-05T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP100 - Banff Tunnel Mountain I was out in Banff for a client function and planned some time for a little caching before and after the event, I headed here before I lost all light and was glad I did. This area has some significalnt snow so I was very glad I brought the brass hunter because I never would have found it otherwise. TFTC, TNLNSL. Find #3482 Find #5 of 18 for the day. Time of the find: 16:21 2008-09-28T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP100 - Banff Alt. 1427 metres It's been more than 18 years since I was last out this way. Long before GPS's were popular, long before caching existed. Like everyone else then (and almost everyone now) I had no idea the cap was even here and came only to see the hoodoos. Well, today it was a different story. Hoodoos, ehh.... seen 'em before, still look pretty much the same. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The cap is in very good shape. Thanks for the cap with a view. 2008-09-21T20:00:00 Found it nikonboy BCP100-Banff N51°11.342 W115°31.410 Nice, big Brass Cap just down the road from an EarthCache. nikonboy 2008-08-13T20:00:00 Found it j_peg BCP100 - Banff.

Thanks for the hunt. 2007-04-28T20:00:00 Found it The Old Clam Shuckers BCP100 Banff Tunnel Mtn N51 11.342 W115 31.412 These caps were a great reason to go in to Banff even though the regular caches are few and far between in the park. We had a great chat with a curious park warden who saw us bent over the cap getting the numbers. He introduced us to Atar, his search and rescue dog and he provided us with a heads up on the ticks that are already starting to appear on the south facing slopes.

Elev. 1426. Nice views of the Bow Valley from the cap. It blended in quite nicely with the foliage. Thanks for the hunt. 2005-07-03T20:00:00 Found it balloonatic BCP100 Banff Found this cap while doing the tourist thing in Banff today. Is this town ever quiet? Even the spot where this cap is was busy. TFTC 2005-05-28T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP100 - Banff N51° 11.342 W115° 31.410 Fourth cap of the day enroute to Banff. 2005-03-28T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP100-Banff This was another one that required 2 trips! We knew it approx. where it was but again some new snow on the ground!!! We were searching and I tried a shot with the compass. After a few sweeps found sweet brass under some light snow!! Glad to nab this one today!! Thanks!! 2005-03-28T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP100 Banff Tunnel Mtn Too much snow back in January and now, armed with a few clues a walk in the park. Thanks 2005-03-05T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP100 ( Banff ) N51° 11.342 W115° 31.410 3rd of six caps for the day. Man, I don't know HOW I missed this one at first! I spent about 15 minute looking for this one before I gave up and went for "Hoo Doo Hide-a-Way" - then I read Judy-Wan Kenobi's log and ran back to BCP100 and found in less than a minute. That cap was SO big I don't know how I could've missed it. Also, in retrospect, reastick's and j2d2's logs had some good pics of the area. Again, a no-snow find. [This entry was edited by nicolo on Sunday, March 06, 2005 at 5:49:44 PM.] 2004-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP100 - Banff - Tunnel Mtn Road When I see a clue like "3.3 M W of a 30 cm dia. stump 60 cm high sitting in some juniper bushes", I ask myself how long such a guidepost will be there. But there it was - large as life, er, well..... Anyway, found the cap. TFTC OFTH. 2004-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP100 - Banff Tunnel Mountain Road First of 3 Banff caps for the day 2004-05-24T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP100 Tom was in town for the week from Seattle, so we thought we'd take him to Banff for the day. We didn't have a chance to find any caches, but we did manage to stop for this cap while vising the hoodoos. 2004-04-25T20:00:00 Found it j2d2 [b]BCP100 – Banff – Hoodoos[/b] My first stop of my Caps and Caper day. This cap took a little bit of searching because of all the Juniper-ouflage. Surprisingling few people at this popular spot today.

As I’m capping ‘pro bono’ a few years after pretty much everyone else, they sure help out at times. Stopped for this one, because I figured that (if I could find it) this location would make for a nice photo tonight. TFTCap. 2017-07-07T20:00:00 Found it nosweat6060 BCP101 Calgary (Crescent Road) [FOUND] I was searching for a nearby geocache and noticed that a Brass Cap was also on my screen. I found the cache and then walked a short distance to find the cap. The photo shows the cap area with SAIT in the background. I made a note of the figures on the cap. Thanks for maintaining these cap statistics! 2017-05-14T20:00:00 Found it Truly2 BCP101 Calgary Crescent Road After a lovely Mothers Day lunch I went off to find a few final Brass Caps. This was the first stop, it was very quiet and I found the cap quickly. Thanks. 2017-05-01T20:00:00 Found it Kottbullar BCP101- Calgary (Crescent Rd) Lots of people out running and I thought I would give it a go.

TFTC 2017-04-10T20:00:00 Found it j2d2 BCP101 - Calgary (Crescent Road) N51° 03.667 W114° 05.068 There sure are some swanky houses up here - and this cap is pretty swanky as well. 2017-04-09T20:00:00 Found it sapien BCP101 Calgary (Crescent Road) N51 03.667 W114 05.069 My last BC of the day and I almost logged it as a DNF until I read some of the previous logs. There are at least two very obvious depressions in the ground near this BC. One seemed like a very likely host for a BC but like previous cachers, I didn't find it in there. Heeding the advice of the previous cachers, I expanded my search area and after brushing away some natural camo, the cap was found. Most of the colour noted by previous finders has faded but the BC is still hard to miss once you come across it. Cap details on their way. TF a great day BC hunting. :-) 2017-04-01T20:00:00 Found it hunthikers BCP101 Calgary (Crescent Road) We had a mssion today to grab 10 Brass caps for a challenge, this was #02. We made a loop on foot having parked in Riley Park. The geokids soon tracked this one down near the tree. TFTC 2017-02-17T20:00:00 Found it G & E BCP101 Calgary (Crescent Road) It wouldn't be a trip to Calgary without a brass cap find. There seems to be such a disproportionate number here compared to Edmonton.... There wasn't any snow near the cap site and the pink colouring is still fairly bright so it was a quick find. 2016-12-31T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv I found BCP101 Calgary (Crescent Road). We're down in Calgary today for a wedding and when the ceremony was over we had a few hours before the reception started. I asked Mrs. Gumby what she wanted to do but she just wanted to head back to the hotel and relax. I mentioned this cap and she was okay with a quick detour so I could come and grab it. Once at GZ I found a few divots that I dug the snow out but they didn't lead to anything. I decided to check some context photos and found the cap shortly after that. Nice view and a really cool spot for a cap. TFTBC <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2016-08-05T20:00:00 Found it geoCurious2 BCP101 - Calgary (Crescent Road) I found this one (and a nearby regular cache) while on lunch break from a course I am instructing at SAIT. I was sidetracked by a hole that had been dug up nearby and mostly filled back in. Digging with just a stick I came upon a 3-pronged metal stake that had been pounded in at some point in the past. This is NOT the brass cap!! Look closer to the tree - no digging required. 2016-03-14T20:00:00 Found it stormcrow50 BCP101 Crescent Road (Calgary) 51 03.667 114 05.068 2015-10-29T20:00:00 Found it kristaandgeoff BCP101 - Calgary (Crescent Road) Grabbing a cache nearby, we stopped to grab this one as well. It was not hard to find given that it is painted over in bright pink. The downside is that numbers are not visible. Thanks for the cap! 2015-08-15T20:00:00 Found it yayajojo BCP101 Calgary (Crescent Road) N51 03.667 W114 05.068 Even Little Rad spotted this cap as we were approaching thanks to the bright pink paint. TFTBC. 2015-08-15T20:00:00 Found it Accura BCP101 Calgary (Crescent Road) N51 03.667 W114 05.068 Yayajojo, Little Rad and I stopped on our way home today to find this cap. We were here over a year ago to search for it, but came up empty. This time we spotted it just before we got to our GZ as it was newly sprayed with bright pink spray - which made reading the numbers a bit difficult. Even without the paint I don't know how we missed it before.... Thanks OFTH. 2015-04-06T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP101 Calgary (Crescent Road) Picked this one up as part of a challenge caching day, TFTC!

I played a bit of a hunch, swept away some of the debris near where I zeroed out and was lucky enough to uncover an edge of the cap. Once I got the cap cleaned off I read the numbers as best I could, took my photos and carried on. Thanks for another brass cap. 2013-08-04T20:00:00 Found it Jimigigilo found BCP 101 in Calgary in a nice area TFTC 2013-06-25T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP101 - Calgary (Crescent Road) N51° 03.667 W114° 05.068 Saw the huge divot right away!

Thanks for another BC! 2013-04-13T20:00:00 Found it rustywa [b]BCP101 - Calgary (Crescent Road)[/b] I had been here before but then I only used the iPhone. I found a part of the metal marker but not the cap itself. This time it was much easier since I used the GPSr. The fact that I looked around a bit more may have helped. Thanks for the cap! 2013-02-23T20:00:00 Found it TheTowerOfSong BCP101 Calgary (Crescent Road) N51° 03.667 W114° 05.068 I was able to rectify my DNF on this cap.

After a qucik scan there was the cap underneath the tree. Thanks for the Cap, OFTH! 2012-04-16T20:00:00 Found it loki226 BCP101 Crescent Road. Took a while to locate but in good condition.

However, we soon figured out that we were on the wrong side of the tree. On the south side, we were then tricked by a metal post in a hole (a decoy ?!?). We finally saw the old yellow flagging in the tree and quickly located the cap under a thin layer of needles. Yep, cap is still mostly pink!

Used the Garmin ForeRunner 201 GPS (the runners model) for the find. I think I might end up using the navigation screen more and the distance, speed and pace screens less.

Saw some orange flagging in one of the trees, figured the cap might be around there. Saw what must have been the remnants of the survey sign, then uncovered the cap nearby, it's at ground level and covered with a thin layer of pine needles. BTW, the cap is directly below the flagging. 2004-11-11T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP101 - Calgary (Crescent Road) After using our hiking staff to scope out the cap under the pine needles, we were able to expose this one without too much trouble. 2004-09-28T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP101-Cresent Rd This one was buried under pine needles. Found the broken off marker stake and knew I was close. Didnt know how deep it was buried but I used the compass. Found it very quickly then.

So I decided to check out this particular cap, because it was (sort of) on the way - also because I'm feeling geocaching withdrawal symptoms, due to 3 consecutive weekends devoted to studying and doing assignments for the course. I was a bit concerned, because there was some snow around, but when I got to the area, the cap was clearly visible. TFTC. 2004-01-15T20:00:00 Found it CBMocha BCP101 I found the cap!

My mom and I had breakfast and then checked out of the hotel before picking up one of her teammates for the bowling tournament. We got to the bowling alley and we were still a little while before the games started so I decided to see if I could grab the other 4 caps I needed in town. My GPS wanted to take me the wrong way to this one and it ended up in a deadend. I quickly figured out the proper way to the cap and went that way. There were a lot of ball games going on already this morning. I was pretty surprised because our league doesn't start for a few more weeks. I left the parking lot and started walking on the paved path, after a little bit I looked at my GPS. It was pointing the opposite direction, I looked over and saw a lath standing tall, well I guess that's where the cap is. Backtracked a little and found the cap. A cool view of the ball diamonds from here. Thanks for another great cap.

I was on full alert for snakes as we walked through the deep grass to the cap but none were to be seen.

I thought I should go get this one on this nice day today because this was my last cap in my town I did not get yet. So finaly I can cross this one off too. There was lots of water and mud on the road where I parked but from the parking it was nice on the dry grass. An easy find because the GP you can see from the road too. So thanx for the cap. Joci! 2010-10-30T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP102 Lethbridge Although the selected route to the cache could have gotten me a lot closer had a particular gate been open this time of the year, I still really enjoyed the half-kilometer or more hike to the cap.

You can't miss the cap location due to a prominent marker pole on the hillside guiding you into the correct spot. Cap is in great shape as most of these Lethbridge caps are...it must be the climate down here.

The first attempt was high up on the hillside. The second attempt was down a private road to the treatment plant which ended up being gated only a few hundred metres from the cap. There were ballfields on the other side so there had to be better access. The final try was coming in from the end of Stafford which proved to be the way in. If you drive to the gravel you can park at a red shale path that will bring you through an opening in the barbwire fence. The cap is about 250m from the car there. There is also a multi and a traditional cache very close by. This was a 3 for one for us. Thanks for the cap! Cool gun club and target ranges here! 2009-08-02T20:00:00 Found it nt210 BCP102 Lethbridge N49 43.053 W112 50.903 847 metres 2008-09-20T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP102 - Lethbridge Alt. 842 metres It took a couple of tries to find the best way to get near this cap. I considered ([i]very[/i] briefly) hiking down from the prairie level, but eventually managed to drive within one hundred metres of the cap at roughly the same elevation. I never did see the path that was mentioned in an earlier log, but going through the barbed wire wasn't too arduous. The cap is in great shape and is well marked. Thanks for the cap with a view.

Pictures and waypoint to follow when we get home later this weekend. Didn't like climbing through the barbed wire fence but since it is marked "Park Boundary" and not "No Trespassing" I figured it would be OK. One of the wires on the fence was cut making for easy access -- hope it wasn't a capper who did that.

Another great cap in Lethbridge, but I had to crawl under a barb-wire fence for this one, doing a seal walk. The fence was REALLY tight for a barb-wire. Of course, on the way down, I see the red shale pathway leading out. Note to all going after this one later: the path is about 250-300 meters south of the cap, near the sign showing the softball park.

The cap is a short climb up from the road and is marked with a GP. My waypoint was off 1.7 metres horizontally and was 2.1 metres higher. There's a nice multi nearby that has a unique first stage. Check it out if you're doing this cap. 2006-01-28T20:00:00 Found it wavector BCP102 Lethbridge The water treatment plant gate was closed causing multiple trips in and out of the bottoms.

We had found 14 caches already, and the light was starting to fade a bit. But from the road, we could see the bright red marker pole. Unfortunately, between us and the pole was a barbed wire fence. But the fence didn't say "No Trespassing" - it said "Park Boundary". And I could see someone up on the hill walking around. So I found a spot where I could get down on my tummy and slither my 57-year-old body under the lowest wire. From there, it was a short trek to the cap. I found out later (after finding cache GCGT8C) that there was a much more convenient - and less slithery - access point further south a bit. Oh well - I've found out that a geocacher always finds the easiest access after finding the cache.

Found this one in North Lethbridge by a ball diamond ( across the street from it ). Looks as if a new fence has been put up to keep people ( more like trucks, etc. ) off the nearby hill. I had to jump the fence and quickly run the 80 or so meters to get a pic of this one. Hmmm. 2004-10-27T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP102 Lethbridge Picked up this brass cap between the two parts of Up & Down (GCGT8C). It was nestled down like a nice little nest egg. Elevation: 841m.

Thanks for the cap! 2010-11-08T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP103 Whitecourt Posted N54° 08.272 W115° 41.900 GPSr N54° 08.273 W115° 41.901 The benefit of finding a cap after vdD has been there is that you get a detailed log that tells you exactly how to access the cap and a context shot that makes sure you'll find it. This cap experience was no different. Yet another quick find on a bridge that spans The McLeod River that branched off the Athabasca River. There was lots of ice drifting down the river today. Thanks for the cap OFTH! 2010-09-17T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP103 - Whitecourt I like bridge caps!

[This entry was edited by ajacgreen on Tuesday, July 21, 2009 at 12:38:57 PM.] 2009-07-12T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP103 - Whitecourt Elev. 701 metres You can actually park (safely) within 30 metres of this one by going east from the bridge, taking the first right (south) and turning right onto Riverside Trailer court. Keep going right and you'll eventually end up in a back alley that'll take you to a nice parking spot right back at the bridge. Some rain was just starting to move in as I set up for the cap shot. The cap is in remarkable shape, especially considering that it's right in the middle of a sidewalk and actually projects a bit above the concrete. I can only assume that this sidewalk never gets shoveled in the winter; reading some of the winter finds seems to bear that out. The surface is virtually unmarked, and there's no trouble reading any of the numbers. After a brief look at the river named after my mother's clan ([i]Hold fast![/i]) it was time to be heading home. Thanks for the cap on a bridge! 2009-04-18T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP103 ~ White court Day 2 of my Most of Alberta road trip for work.

Of all the Caps I found on this trip this was the only one I needed the metal detector to find, I know I know it's in concrete on a bridge right, but it was under about 4cm of muck and gravel that has not been cleaned up yet from the recent melting of the snow.

After the Confederation parks caps we headed west and down Sarcee for three more which the geokids insisted we walked them all from the same parking spot... it was a nice morning so I was not going to say no. We came at this one from below and along an interesting ridge. This one was soon found and in great shape a little above ground level likely due to wind erosion. TFTC 2016-09-02T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv I found BCP104 Banff. Mrs. Gumby and I are moving our daughter to Vancouver this weekend. My plan was pretty simple, leave after work Friday and find a hotel in Salmon Arm, get up Saturday morning, drive to Seattle to watch the Mariners game and then come back to Abbotsford after the game. Sunday was the day to head into Vancouver and move her stuff in and go through the place and then head home on Monday. Thankfully I had no complaints from them, they know me well enough to know that if I'm going go all the way to Vancouver we might as well sneak down to Seattle for a ballgame. Seemed like a nice road trip to me. Today we left Red Deer at around 6:00 this evening and I had two stops I really wanted to make on the way to Salmon Arm. Stopping at this cap was the first place I wanted to stop so I pulled off the highway and made the short walk through the rain to the cap. Found the cap quickly, snapped a few pics and we were on our way. Thanks for amother cool in a very interesting location.

Mr. C and the Paddles. 2008-07-22T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP104 Banff N51 11.308 W115 45.181 GPSr: N51 11.307 W115 45.182 Although this cap is simply titled Banff and resides beside the TransCanda Highway, it happens to be in very close proximity (1km) to the Borgeau day use parking area. This access point allows hikers to either ascent 7.5 km (710m vertical) to Borgeau Lake or scramble to the top of Mount Borgeau (2930 meters) which is 13.0 km (1500m vertical) from the trailhead. The mountain scramble is considered easy and takes about 8 hours to complete. Mount Borgeau was referred to by James Hector in his journal entry for 17 August, 1858: "Looking up the valley to the W.S.W. we had before us a truncated mountain, evidently composed of massive horizontal strata, and which I named Mount Bourgeau." Eugene Bourgeau was the botanist with the Palliser expedition. Bourgeau's career began with his love of flowers in the French Alps where he tended his father's herds. Sir William Hooker, the first Director of Kew Gardens in London, had received many specimens from distant lands through Bourgeau's work. He referred to Bourgeau as a "prince of botanical collectors," and recommended him to those who were organizing the expedition. Bourgeau was not a disappointment. During his time with the Expedition he collected specimens from eight hundred and nineteen species as well as a great quantity of seeds. When Bourgeau left the expedition in 1859 to fulfill a previous commitment to do botanical work in London and in the Caucasus in Europe, he had obviously made an impression with Palliser and other members of the expedition. Palliser wrote that Bourgeau was, "always hard at his work in which his whole soul seems engrossed, and no matter what his fatigues or privations may be, his botanical specimens are always his first care. We were very sorry indeed to lose our friend, who was a great favourite with us all. In addition to his acquirements as a botanist, he united the most sociable, jovial disposition, ever ready not only to do his own work, but assist anyone else who asked him." The Bow Valley turns abruptly to the northwest at the foot of Mount Bourgeau and it is at this point that more snow begins to accumulate in the Bow Valley during the winter. During the summer months, the summit cliffs of Bourgeau rising behind a lower feature, remain highlighted with the previous winter's snow and and often contrasted with brilliant blue skies. Mount Bourgeau is part of the Massive Range that includes Pilot Mountain, Mount Brett, Mount Bourgeau, and Massive Mountain. The range lies to the southwest of the Bow Valley, between Redearth Creek to the north and Healy Creek to the south. Lost Horse Creek lies to the west of the range. The cap is in good condition and is above surrounding grade. Edit: Fix date 2008-07-04T20:00:00 Found it rubiconrunner BCP104 - Banff This one was well marked and an easy find.

Just west of Banff on the Trans Canada, north of the hi-way. A nice and easy find, kind of. As j2d2's log notes, there are two caps there. The one on the rock was an easy find, no snow. The other one, by the stake was another story. There was some snow and about 3 inches of ice at the base of the stake. No problem, I have an essential tool for capping in the winter, a hammer! I chipped away around the base of the stake until I hit the cap ... oops! [This entry was edited by nicolo on Sunday, March 06, 2005 at 5:56:57 PM.] 2004-04-25T20:00:00 Found it j2d2 [b]BCP104 – Banff – TCH#1[/b] There were 2 caps here a few meters apart, I’m not sure exactly which one was the desired cap so I noted them both. I wonder if that was in the hints before. Too bad we don’t have a way to see the old hints <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /><img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /><img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> All the cars zipping by must have thought I was nuts poking around there. Again, I think I am first to log this cap – do I win anything? I tried to get a view of the Mt. Cory cap, but the trees were blocking my view.

He just waved me in and I thanked him sincerely. I stopped on the west side of the bridge and ambled back to the cap, thanking goodness that the shoulder and bridge deck allows quite a bit of space for pedestrians and vehicles.

No problem finding it today, but I sure wouldn't want to try it in winter, buried under a few feet of hard packed snowbank! The cap is in remarkably good shape, with only a few strikes, along with what looks for all the world like glacial striations across its face. The digits are all clear. The view up the river was beautiful and the photo does not do it justice. My little pocket digital camera wasn't up to handing today's haze and clouds; I can just hear my AE-1 sitting at home muttering "yeah, well I could have done it in my sleep!".

He found one likely spot for the marker and kicked some dirt around, but it looked like it was missing. So off he went back to the truck and while waiting for a break in traffic he turned for another look and...whats that...another marker? Went over, kicked a bit more dirt and spotted the cap.

Prior to searching for the cap we explored the town a bit. We find that to be very enjoyable and often marvel at the extremely wide main street. All towns seem to start with visions of grandeur or maybe the original designers just figured the giant winds from the west would tend to move the structures on the west side of the street closer to the more sheltered buildings on the east side. That been said, wide is still way better than too narrow! Again it was a quick find, still pretty clean from Sears Tower visit in Jan. Thanks for showing us the town ofth.

Raymond is best known for its annual rodeo and its large Latter-day Saint population. Although some would cite the achievements of the Raymond Comets in basketball and football as its most notable feature. Raymond's population as of 2006 was 3,205. Raymond was founded in 1901 by mining magnate and industrialist Jesse Knight. Knight named the town after his son Raymond. On 1 July 1903, Raymond was incorporated as a Town in the Northwest Territories of Canada. On 1 September 1905, Raymond became part of the newly-created Province of Alberta. In 1902, one year after it was founded, Raymond held an outdoor rodeo and called it a stampede; this was Canada's first organized rodeo event. Since the inaugural event, the Raymond Stampede has been held on 1 July or June 30 every summer. The cap is a traditional style and is located just east of the town. The cap is in very good condition and is an easy find. Thanks for the cap outforthehunt. 2006-06-08T20:00:00 Found it wavector BCP106, Raymond I still can't believe I missed this cap the other day, just goes to show you that anything can happen.

There is a trench 3 feet south of the Survey Marker but that location is not 3.5 feet south of the powerline as indicated in the clue. The trench is about 6 inches wide and 5" long, there is no cap in the trench. There is a deep hole near the Marker, there is no cap in the hole. The Survey Marker has been knocked down and replaced, it is not the original placement and you can tell this by looking at the plate on the marker, it is askew. No happy today, I will be back. 2006-04-20T20:00:00 Found it PDOP's BCP106 Raymond Another lovely drive up cap along a rural highway.

Down to Raymond for my last cache. This one was just on the north side of highway 52 in the ditch. There were actually two survey poles about 20 feet apart ( maybe ) but my receiver took me to the one closer to the fence. Kicked the snow and dirt around for while, no go. Then I notice a small depression in the ground a ways from the survey pole and so jammed my compass in it. Bingo! Down the needle went. A good day of brass capping 2004-10-26T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP106Raymond What an interesting parking configuration they have in downtown Raymond, and wiiiiide streets.

It was just an awesome evening to be out and enjoying the weather. When I walked up to GZ I spotted the divot right away. Clean away a few leaves and dirt and there was the cap.

Thanks for the cap! 2012-04-22T20:00:00 Found it chevyragtop BCP 107A Edmonton It has been a long time between caps. But what could be better than a cap on Earthday and a walk on a great spring day. TFTBC 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP107A Edmonton 1:17pm We were able to park close to this one. As we walked over we could see the post and the flagging. The cap was covered with some loose sod which we removed for the photo and then tamped back into place. 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP107A Edmonton The cap was disguised with a clump of sod over top of it but the keen eye could tell there was something beneath. Despite this protective sod covering the cap was still seriously marred. TFTCap 2010-09-15T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP107A Took my time recording the details and then strolled around for a bit just to enjoy the scene. Thanks, The Dawntreaders 2010-09-12T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP107A - Edmonton I came last night after dark, but it was too hard to see and there were some people having a camp fire in the nearby shelter that made me feel uncomfortable being here alone. Today - in the light - it still took a bit of searching, but I was eventually successful! 2010-07-02T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP107A Edmonton Another park that is empty most of the time.

Timed this one perfectly as a few of the TiEs were in need of a rest stop and the cap just happeded to be next to a well maintained washroom facility. Cap was a little tough to spot as the depression was completely filled with leaves. The orange paint was a giveaway as a few leaves were pulled off.

TFTCap 2009-05-03T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP107A - Edmonton Elev. 624 metres Another riverside cap! Easy parking is available within a few hundred metres walk of ground zero. I initially zeroed out a couple of metres south of where I found the cap, but the shallow, leaf filled depression in the grass gave it away. The cap is painted orange and is fairly beat up, and both contribute to making some of the digits very difficult to read. Thanks for the cap in a nice riverside park. 2008-07-18T20:00:00 Found it rubiconrunner BCP107A - Edmonton Took a long time to find this cap for some reason.

First time I hunt this one, I had coordinates up the hill close to the BCP107 cap, for some reason. Nice little park here.

Back to work in my own province for a few days now. I scrolled through old logs to find a context shot to help me find this cap.

As we approached GZ, sapien and narloth jumped out of the truck and had the cap found before I was even out of my seat.

I was just happy to tag along with them; it's been a while since we've cached together. We had a great time, finding a bunch of brass caps plus a few caches, seeing some of the AB countryside, and most importantly, just enjoying each other's company. Based on alllllll the recent logs, it appears we weren't the only ones out on the hunt for brass caps today. This one was our first brass cap of the day. The hint was pretty much irrelevant now as the area around GZ has changed but narloth was able to spot it without too much difficulty. I think it helps when another cacher found it a few days earlier. :-) Losmir will be sending OFTH the necessary proof for our group's finds today.

Today there was no one sitting there. After having seen the good context pictures of the Black Sharks it took us no time at all to pin down the location of the cap. We just had some dirt to remove and our pictures were taken. Thankyou Outforthehunt for setting these up. 2016-04-27T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP108 Carstairs After finding the nearby cache, we couldn't leave without hunting for this cap, too. We knew there had been some recent DNFs, but we were hopeful. There didn't seem to be a divot or any other sign of a cap around GZ, but Mr Shark, who was excelling in every way today, scuffed a spot lightly then went off to get his phone with the metal detector app. In his absence, Mrs Shark probed that spot and hit metal on the first try. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> She shoveled an inch or two of dirt away to find a plain flat piece of metal that appeared to have a straight edge. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_sad.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> One more scoop just as Mr Shark returned revealed another edge--curved with a few stamped in letters. Brass! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> (The first metal piece is a collar surrounding the cap.) When we were done, we blended our diggings back into the landscape and left the cap exposed for whoever gets there before it fills in again. Thanks a lot to those who post very helpful context photos and those who maintain the pages that make those logs and photos so accessible. Thanks, outforthehunt, for another well chosen cap in a pleasant location. 2015-08-30T20:00:00 Found it Accura BCP108 - Carstairs N51 33.752 W114 06.089 Yayajojo, 7th Wonder and I found this cap after a lovely day picnicking and paddleboarding near Rocky Mountain House.

I arrived to find no obvious cap and no indication of where it was. My GPSr was consistently 4 or more meters out today, so that was little help. After examining the context photos and grabbing my tools and metal detector from the car, I went about looking for possibilities. The very rocky soil made for a lot of false positives. With the metal detector it was the same, even when I was focussed on one particular area as per the context photo. Finally though a combination of “beep” from the detector and “tink” from a screwdriver stab allowed me to find the goods. That's great feeling! Thanks for the cap! 2013-04-04T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv Found BCP108 Carstairs today on a windy but nice day. Nice area.

It was a super day to be out for a drive in the country. I dropped Squirrel Nutcacher off at school, had coffee with an old chum, and then headed out along the highways and byways north of Calgary. Noka the geo-dog accompanied me and had a fair number of walks as well as the occasional run. He is a pooped puppy!!

We eventually got this one althogh the parking lot was fullish and there were a few muggles about. This cap was covered and required looking at past photos and using the metal detector to uncover. 2011-08-19T20:00:00 Didn't find it rubiconrunner BCP108 Carstairs This place was busy today.

We also grabbed the near by cache. 2009-10-20T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP108 Carstairs Found this one on the way home from Red Deer after a day of caching. Not sure why I had missed this one previously. TFTBC!!!! 2009-08-28T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP108 Carstairs Posted N51° 33.752 W114° 06.089 GPSr N51° 33.754 W114° 06.091 Today was a day of capping as well as caching for a few DNFs from last February in the area. We struck out on this one in February. Back then the only cable fences were nowhere near GZ. Now there are no cable fences at all as well as no post... so the hint is of no value. Found the cap with the metal detector right near GZ a few inches from the path edge that comes out of the gazebo on end of the inside corner (north of path). It is well exposed now but is susceptible to a cm or two of mud/dirt build-up with any moisture. A 2 for 1 deal as there is a cache in the gazebo area as well. Thanks for the cap! 2009-08-21T20:00:00 Didn't find it Andronicus BCP108 Carstairs Looked around for this one for about 15 min. I am about 90% sure that it is not exposed. The next searcher should bring a compass (metal detector) and/or screwdriver with them to try to locate this one. None of the hints are valid anymore. 2009-02-06T20:00:00 Didn't find it Takin it Easy BCP108 Carstairs N 51 33.752 W 114 06.089 GZ was south of a gazebo off a paved path and nowhere near the hint items. Found the hint items way to the east (30+ m)but no visible marker post. Not sure if the cable fence at GZ was removed or not. Will have to return when the snow is gone to confirm. Thanks 2008-12-01T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP108 - Carstairs, 1060 metres. We were fortunate that the cap was only covered by a few millimetres of ice. Had there been dirt mixed with the ice, it would have gone unnoticed. We chipped away at the ice until we could read the numbers.

In checking nearby caches we notice we were only 25 meters away from this brass cap. We finished lunch, with some tasty treats provided by Mrs. BVPete, and headed over to the cap location. I quickly spotted the cap location and recorded the information. Thanks for the hunt and for including this cap in your cache page. 2008-08-19T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP108 Carstairs N51° 33.752’ W114° 06.089’ Mrs BVPete, Shigman and I were out doing a little caching in the area. We stopped in Carstairs for a picnic and soon discovered that we were only 25 meters away from this cap. Eagle eyed Shigman spotted the cap even though the hint did not work anymore - there must have been extensive work in the area since the cap was first published. It lies in the usual shallow depression immediately beside a fairly new asphalt pathway. Thanks for posting this control point on your cache page ofth. 2008-07-26T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP108 - Carstairs Alt. 1061 metres "What are you looking for?" One thing about brass caps; stealth is not generally required. I explained to a curious local that I was looking for a survey marker; albeit without much luck at that moment. He was quite interested in the compass sweep I was doing and the fact that the marker pipe was magnetized. A bit later I noticed the tell tale 3 dots on the other side of the new asphalt and had the cap exposed. Thanks for the cap! 2008-06-22T20:00:00 Didn't find it Plan - B Figured I'd log all my DNF caps from the weekend on one log for time and embarrassments sake. BCP108 - Area is freshly landscaped and we couldn't come up with it. Bishop and a few others found it a day or two later it looks like. I'm adding a long screwdriver to my cache pack. BCP258 - I figured out a great way to search and filter all the brass cap logs and found that this cap has been found and photographed many times. We missed it somehow. Can anyone tell me what CB stands for in the hint? BCP012 - I don't this were to blame for this DNF. It looks to be blocked off currently due to construction. BCP169 - Again found and photographed in the logs many times. We did find what was left of a angle iron marker in the area (Picture attached) but didn't see the cap. OK, I'm adding a screwdriver AND and metal detector to my cache pack. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> TFTH OFTH, Plan-B 2008-06-22T20:00:00 Found it 3 Bubbas BCP108 - Carstairs With the Brass Cap veteran nicolo at our side instructing us where to look, this cap was quickly uncovered with the use of sticks and a sharp rock. It helped that there were recent spray paint markings on the tree and ground. Details to follow. 2008-05-30T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP108 Carstairs N51° 33.752 W114° 06.089 GPSr N51° 33.754 W114° 06.090 There's a lot of landscaping activity going on in the vicinity of this survey marker. In fact we'd barely walked within 5 m of the posted coordinates when someone from town was over checking out what we were doing, as he was working with the landscaping crew about 50 m away. He said he used to see the survey marker all the time, that the new pathway did NOT cover the cap, but he wasn't quite sure where it was now. As a result, this was Mrs GeoKs' first opportunity to witness the effectiveness of our new light-weight, handheld metal detector in the field. It worked extremely well, locating the cap buried under a few cm of dirt. Photo is on the way. Named after Carstairs, Scotland, Carstairs began life as a loading platform on the railway connecting Calgary to Edmonton. In 2006, Carstairs had a population of 2,656 living in 1,019 dwellings, a 17.8% increase from 2001. The town has a land area of 5.00 km². Carstairs is home to a finely maintained and challenging 18-hole golf course, a brand new Memorial Complex, with abundant parks and playgrounds, and Tourist Information Center. Just west of town is a new Silver Willow 9-hole golf course. Carstairs has historically been an agricultural community,as it used to have 7 grain elevators in town.It celebrates each year with the Ranch Rodeo in June, Beef & Barley Days and the annual rodeo in July, the High School Rodeo in September, 4-H Calf Show and Sale, Bull-A-Rama, Horticultural Show, and Pumpkin Festival. 2008-04-04T20:00:00 Found it leawelter BCP108 Found with the help of Bish0p as I had problems finding it in the snow.

I was searching all over then Mrs. DanOCan took pity on me and walked over with the metal detector. Couple quick swipes in the logical area and that confirmed we were close. A little digging/wiping and soon the cap was free and visible. 2007-05-27T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri BCP108 - Carstairs Was cruising past this area on our way home. Thanks! TFTH.

Thanks!! 2004-09-06T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP108 - Carstairs Just as we were leaving the house on a cache trip northwards, we decided to see if there were any convenient caps. We found one, but had no clues. Oh, well - we'll pretend that we know how to find a cap! We could see the Alberta Survey stake from the parking lot, so we trotted over there, convinced that it would be easy. Not!!! Kept poking the walking sticks into the ground, to no avail. Grabbed the magnet that I keep in my geo-bag. It seemed to be pointing to something, but it still took quite a while before we finally uncovered the cap. The puppy is adjacent to the asphalt path - and a few inches below ground level! If they had laid the path just a bit closer to the stake, we would not have found it! After carefully recording the numbers, we re-hid it, so that the next person can enjoy the thrill of the hunt as well! TFTC OFTH 2004-09-06T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP108 - Carstairs My 40th brass cap. Definitely needed the compass to find this one, it was buried about 6 inches deep right beside the paved path way.

The climbing above the ledge was great to awesome. Better rock, less rubble and cleaner lines. Brendan was doing a great job of leading and I was generally content following as we paralleled the Cory crack. The steepest pitches generally had great holds and the climbing was fun. Then Brendan has a proposition.... the 5.8 corner or the 5.6 alternative. The corner is a above a big safe ledge, it's not long and Brendan is going to lead ;) then let's do the corner. Well, Brendan made the corner look reasonable and was soon safe above. My turn... yep, tougher than it looked but I made it work. My fingers and arms were tired by the time I got the moves done, but I was happy to have done it. I let out a "Yahoo!" and indicated that is better be a gold cap rather than a brass cap at the end of this rainbow. From here the route soon mellowed but was littered with rubble and loose blocks but it still demanded respect and took us a little longer that anticipated to scramble the lower angle ridge above. We started to encounter snow and soon switched to boots rather than the rock shoes with the goal in sight above us. The scramble along the ridge was fun on such a perfect day. We were soon at the top of this minor summit with the cap tower and cap to greet us. I wrote the key number on my hand, we took pictures, ate "summit" chocolate and sorted gear for the descent. We opted out of a trip to the true summit given the time and the amount of snow on the upper ridge. Ah, yes (FOUND) ! The descent was hard on the legs and toes, I'd been up this way years ago... wouldn't relish it again I have to say. We were both glad to finally hit the 1A, rescue the bikes from the trees and bike the 3+ km back to the car. We have enjoyed a fine day in the mountains and one to remember. I would what other adventures lie ahead with Brendan714! 2017-05-29T20:00:00 Write note hunthikers BCP109 Mount Cory (The story from the other end of the rope). A few weeks ago, near the end of the virtual cache version of BCP, Brendan714 talked to me about getting the Mt Cory cap. But with a twist. Not the "normal" scramble (read slog) route, but via a relatively new sport rock route on the west face of Mt Cory. Let's call it "Brass Capping the Hard Way" (inspired by Chris Bonnington's Book "Everest: The Hard Way"). The "Mountaineers route" as it is known is a multi pitch sport rock route near the infamous Cory Crack that is visible from the #1 TCH as you drive W of the Sunshine turning. My memories of the Cory crack go back 25 yrs and an attempt that did not get far with a friend who introduced me to the Rockies and a big part with why I am still in Calgary. Sadly, she is not longer with us and I have promises to her that I still need to keep... Now with a young set of geokids at home, I've not done a lot of rock climbing recently but it seemed like a good challenge so I agreed to Brendan's proposal. Attempt 1 was memorable for 3 things.... 1. a grouse on the approach (and descent) that required dramatic actions to convince him to leave us alone. Let's just say he was getting close to becoming dinner. 2. the blue sky morning that become the ugly rain 5 pitches up 3. the blue sky afternoon that reappeared after we bailed. A couple of weeks later, the forecast for Victoria Day was awesome and Brendan asked again and I said yes again so at 7:30am we were by the gates on the 1A sorting gear and waiting to for the road to open. At 8am the barriers opened and off we went to the empty Muleshoe parking spot and were quickly on our way back on familiar ground and at a brisk pace (that's what happens when the old guy is in front with the young guns behind). The book says 1 to 1.5 hrs to the base. We were there in 45 mins (clearly knowing the route and being chased by a grouse helps). We geared up and returned to the fray with pitch one being a good warm up. Now, rock route descriptions can be a lot like a geocaching puzzle "hmmm, I wonder what they mean by that...hmmm not that, oh, they meant that...." so we had magically missed pitch 2 on the first attempt but were more careful to find it this time and I certainly found it trickier that I had expected most likely because I underestimated it as I expected the toughest climbing to be much higher up on the route. This was a good reminder to never take anything for granted. The next couple of pitches each had familiar tricky moves and we made good steady progress. In what felt like no time, we were on the ledge where we crossed the Cory Crack from the climbers left to the right. This is where we got rained off last time but today was perfect, no grey wet wall to the W. 2017-05-27T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP109 - Mount Cory (FOUND) via the <a href="http://banffrock.ca/pdfs/MountCorySouthPeak_MK_Feb2015.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mountaineer's Route on the West Face of Mount Cory</a>! A 500 meter 5.8 technical rock climb. Found on May 22, 2017. On May 11, hunthikers and I set out to find the Mount Cory cap via the west face. Unfortunately, we were rained out as described in these two logs <a href="https://coord.info/GLQYNHQH" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://coord.info/GLQYNHPJ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. Ever since that failed attempt I had wanted to return and conquer that beast. Victoria Day Monday had a fantastic forecast, so I sent an email over to hunthikers - he too was game for the adventure. It was time for take 2! <hr /> After waiting for the road gate, we stashed the bikes and arrived at the Muleshoe parking area shortly after 8:00. Luckily the parking area was empty meaning we'd have the route to ourselves. We packed up and set off. Hunthikers led the hike, and charged up with a steady pace. Thanks to our attempt from a few weeks ago, the routefinding for the hike was very straight forward. The real question was whether or not we'd see our buddy Mr. Grouse? We had hiked for about 30 minutes with no sign of the grouse... when all of a sudden, yep, there he is! Just like last time he harassed me up the hiking trail, pecking at my shoes and flying up at my pack. As we approached the base of the climb we started to wonder how we'd get rid of him this time. When all of a sudden... he stopped! "Go, go, go!" I said to hunthikers. We picked up the pace and the grouse just stood there watching. We got to the base of the climb and the grouse was gone! Whoo hoo! Perhaps the shot of bear spray in the face from last time put him off? Thanks to hunthiker's incredible pace, we reached the base of the climb in only 45 minutes! <hr /> We racked up and started the climb. Pitch 1 was a 30m 5.6 called The Gmaster. I felt a little rusty leading up the first pitch - I think the approach took some energy out of me. But about halfway up I got into the groove and quickly made my way up to the anchor tree. Hunthikers had no problems following up. We got lost last time at this part - but we came prepared this time. Hunthikers led up above the pitch 1 anchor and soon found the base of pitch 2. We didn't know what to expect from this pitch since we missed it last time! But, we did know that it was supposed to be a 25m long 5.7 pitch called Conradical. The climbing followed up beside a nice crack before traversing right onto easier ground. Hunthikers commented that it felt tougher than anything we'd done last time - I wasn't so sure I agreed. That was because I remembered pitch 3 being tricky. 50m long 5.7 called President's Choice. The crux moves were technical face climbing on small crimpy handholds. It was well protected though so it didn't feel too bad. The fact that it was such a long and pretty well sustained pitch meant that my arms were slightly rebellious at the anchor. Hunthikers cruised up behind, and I said "now you must have thought that was harder than pitch 2!". He said, "yeah, probably, but at least I knew what to expect!". That was true. Pitch 4, called The Republic of Laristan, was a much shorter 25 m 5.7. One technical (but again well protected) move on very small holds was the only challenge, followed by much easier climbing. Above pitch 4 was about 100 meters of 3rd and 4th class scrambling which we went on belay for. We stopped at a beautiful ledge for lunch. After regaining some energy, we continued up and got to the 4th class exposed traverse which was our stopping point last time. I led across the traverse and reached the anchor. I looked over to hunthikers and said, "What do you think about the weather this time?". "Looks perfect!" So, onward and upwards! <a href="https://coord.info/GLR2YPWF" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Continued below...</a> 2017-05-27T20:00:00 Write note brendan714 BCP109 - Mount Cory <a href="https://coord.info/GLR2YPZF" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Continued from above...</a> <hr /> Pitch 5, called KDK Memorial was a relatively simple 5.6 up 30 meters. One small groove gave the only sign of difficulty on the pitch. Above, pitch 6 called My Saving Grace went up about 60m at apparently 5.7. I thought it was the easiest pitch of the day, probably closer to 5.5. That led us in to the base of pitch 7, called Where Eagles Dare. Wow, what a beautiful pitch! The climbing was well sustained at 5.7 for the entire 30 meters on solid and amazingly fun rock. The route description says "Awesome with a capital A" - and for good reason! Hunthikers followed up and I had to tell him to stop so I could take some photos. The exposure and position was incredible. We swapped leads for the next pitch and hunthikers led up the 20m 5.4 called the Mountaineer's Pitch. Looking above it was decision time. We could take the easy way - a 5.6 alternate route called the French Connection, or the hard way - a 5.8 corner called the C-Zach Corner. I told hunthikers to make the choice as I was happy doing either. Hunthikers agreed to climb up the corner pitch if I led it. Talk about making a difficult route to the brass cap even harder! 🙂 The lead up the C-Zach Corner was definitely the most difficult climbing of the day, but it was really enjoyable. The crack climbing up the corner was unlike anything else on the route. I couldn't see hunthikers from my belay position, but after a couple minutes I heard a huge "Whoooooo!!!" from below. I saw hunthikers emerge from the corner with a grin. He followed up to the belay station and said "this brass cap better be made of gold!". I laughed! Above the most difficult climbing of the day was 3rd and 4th class terrain to the south summit and the cap. We climbed up 2x 60m pitches. The rock was very chossy. We reached a nice flat plateau and scrambled from there. The terrain was mostly 2nd class along the ridge - we passed through some lingering snow patches. We encountered one short 5m low-5th class step which we went on belay for. Following further, the terrain eased off again and we took off the climbing shoes, put on the hiking shoes, coiled the rope and stashed the climbing gear. The cap tower was in sight. One final 4th class step about 25 meters from the cap was the final difficulty. Hunthikers and I scrambled up and together we reached the south summit and the brass cap tower, 6.5 hours from the car. Sweet success! We exchanged high fives and enjoyed the 360 degree views. At least the cap was an easy find after a long and challenging ascent. After some photos with the cap tower we decided it was time to make the long descent home. We followed the trail as best we could down the usual scramble route. Lots of loose scree made for a not very enjoyable descent. But eventually we descended the 1000m of elevation down to the road. We unlocked the bikes and rode 3.5 km back to the car. The drive home was awful and took over 2 hours due to the long weekend traffic. I finally got home, showered, ate, then sat down at my laptop. I fired up the old cap page to discover that the page was archived and locked during the day. <hr /> So I'm very grateful that van der Decken put the time and effort into making this page. I love sharing my brass cap stories and reading everyone else's, and hopefully this page can be the place we can share our capping stories for years to come. Our trip to the Cory Cap ended up being 11.5 km in length with 1,000 m of gain. We had somewhere around 14-15 total pitches of climbing up to 5.8 to reach this cap - 8 h 45 min car-to-car. Definitely one of my most memorable cap finds ever. Thanks to OFTH for inspiring this trip, van der Decken for the shiny new page and hunthikers for being an awesome climbing partner & sharing in the unforgettable adventure! 2017-05-11T20:00:00 Write note brendan714 BCP 109 - Mount Cory I've had this trip in mind for months. A technical rock climb up the west face of Mount Cory to reach the brass cap on top. The route is called the <a href="http://banffrock.ca/pdfs/MountCorySouthPeak_MK_Feb2015.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mountaineer's Route</a> - a 500 meter technical rock climb graded at 5.7/5.8. The climbing is well within my skillset, and the route offers good protection in case of a fall. I figured it would be a perfect summer trip! But then the new logging rules started coming into effect... rats! I would never be able to log a find via this awesome route on the Cory Cap! The weather just hadn't been good enough lately to organize an attempt. The extension to May 15 opened up a few more days... Wednesday and Thursday this week especially looked good. I decided it would make the perfect final brass cap trip! I threw the idea past hunthikers and he was game to give it a try. His only comment was that he hadn't climbed at that grade in quite some time. I laughed inside - hunthikers is in way better shape than me and has leaps and bounds more climbing experience! I knew he wouldn't struggle at all. We agreed that the trip sounded like an excellent adventure and the date was set for Thursday. (Funny side note about the partnership of brendan714 & hunthikers.... the very first time we met was for a trip up Mount Temple for Canada's highest geocache (a success), our first ski tour trip together was a 3 day traverse over the glaciated Wapta icefield (a success), and now our first rock climbing trip together was set to be a 500 meter long multipitch climb (surely to be a success?)! I guess you can say we jump right off the deep end with our adventures!!) <hr /> The forecast for Thursday was decent, and the plan was made. The chance of rain was only 20% - which is great! We arrived at the gate on the Bow Valley Parkway at about 7:50 - just before the scheduled 8:00 gate opening. Once the gate opened we stashed the bikes at the base of the S ridge (regular scramble route) on Mount Cory. The goal was to hopefully climb up the west face and have an easy descent down the south ridge! We got to the Muleshoe parking area, readied our packs and were off. The approach trail was fantastic! The hardest part was a steep slog up an open slope. But the steep slope soon leveled off and we continued following up at a more moderate grade. <hr /> And then we met a grouse. Aha! What a treat! Wildlife! The grouse got nice and close and I managed to get a good photo. Very awesome - now scram Mr. Grouse. He was making noises at us and trying to peck our shoes. 100 m later, the grouse was still following. 300 m later, the grouse was still following...! After 500 meters we were at the base of the climb and the grouse was STILL following us!! Stick pokes, kicks, rocks and whistle blowing didn't get it to go away. It got to the point where this stupid grouse was actually going to impact our safety. We needed to get on this climb for timing reasons and having a belayer being pecked at was not a great thought! GO AWAY GROUSE! Nothing was working. So I took out some bear spray and shot the grouse right in the face. After a little flinching, the grouse came back for more punishment. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! It was a little shaken up so I gave it a good shove off a ledge and it FINALLY flew away. That was the most absurd wildlife experience I've ever had. <hr /> Finally time to start climbing. The first pitch is called "The Gmaster" and was a 30 m climb up a loose chimney feature. I actually thought the looseness made it probably the hardest pitch of the day, even though the climbing moves weren't too difficult. Hunthikers followed up without any troubles. At the top, we were supposed to scramble on easy ground to the next pitch. Hunthikers started up, and the terrain soon got much more difficult that I was expecting. Hmm... is something wrong? Continued below... 2017-05-11T20:00:00 Write note brendan714 BCP 109 - Mount Cory Continued from above... We spotted our proper route so over we went. I led up the pitch and saw a rap anchor. Hmm, that's not what the route description said. I looked down, re-read the description and realized that we were actually on pitch 3 not pitch 2! Turns out we somehow scrambled right past an entire pitch. Whoops! After a little correction we were back on track. A tricky delicate move made things a little interesting. Pitch 4, called "The Republic of Laristan" also featured a technical delicate move with tiny handholds and no footholds. I had no trouble with it and neither did hunthikers. The top of pitch 4 led in to about 100 meters of 3rd and 4th class scrambling. We roped up for the scrambling because we could (and a fall would be nasty). Soon we got to the point where we had to traverse a very exposed class 4 gully. Hunthikers put me on belay and I remember looking at him and asking "How are you feeling?" His response: "Good!" I said, "Yeah, me too!" The class 4 gully was actually rather straightforward and well protected. With some difficulty I found the anchor on the other side. Aaaand that's when the rain started rolling in.... <hr /> Over the next long while we pondered and waited to see if the rain would stop. It didn't. Weird... the weather forecast said it was supposed to be sunny and nice?! It rained enough to the point that the rock was soaking wet and unclimbable even if it did stop raining. No.... It was a difficult decision, but we decided to bail. We were halfway to the top - 250 meters up the cliff. But it was clear that the rock was not likely to dry out any time soon. So back I went across the 4th class gully. We downclimbed relatively easy terrain and we spotted a chained tree promised in the route description. Hunthikers put me on belay and I reached the chained tree with difficulty - the ground below it was solid ice! I rappelled down 30 meters and spotted a secondary rap anchor - a tricky little rap traverse got me over to the anchor. Hunthikers followed. From that anchor another 30 meter rappel led down to a snow-filled gully. We grabbed the rope, coiled it up, and scrambled easily down the gully back to the approach trail. And that's when the sun decided to come out in full force! You have GOT to be kidding! We looked back up at the route and it was drying in front of our eyes. No!!! It was too late now to return. I seriously considered another lap, but hunthikers talked me out of it. It was the right call. So we hiked down the trail in the beautiful sun. And who else would we see on the trail - none other than our buddy the grouse!! It was the SAME darn grouse! He followed us and pecked at us for about 100 meters - at that point we broke out into a jog and outran him. What a grouse! <hr /> We got back to the car in the brilliant sun in about 5.5 hours round trip. So what was SUPPOSED to be an epic brass cap adventure got rained out. I wanted this to be my very last 'official' cap find, but it wasn't to be today. Just a reminder that Mother Nature is always in control (and she is one cruel mistress!). But.... We WILL return and we WILL find the cap via the west face. It won't be an "official" find according to geocaching.com; but in the end, who really cares? It's all about the adventure and the experience, not about some virtual smiley on an online log. This cache has continued to inspire Albertans to reach for their adventurous side, whether the cap be in urban Calgary or atop Mount Cory. I've thought about doing this trip for months. And although it wasn't a success, it really was a great reminder that you don't need a virtual smiley to have a great day. I had a blast on the climbing that we did manage to get through and I am very much anticipating a return trip to finish that beast with hunthikers. Thanks for inspiring this adventure outforthehunt. We will be back! 2014-07-29T20:00:00 Found it Switty 13 BCP1097 Calgary - Replacement N51° 04.253' W114° 10.020' Elevation 1061m Found while in the area today on my Tuesday Hunt with the Pup. Thanks! 2010-11-06T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP109 Mount Cory Posted N51° 11.024 W115° 41.539 GPSr N51° 11.025 W115° 41.540 Well... I finally got over my capping mishap earlier this week that ended a 2 day capping trip before it got started. My geotruck is no more but at least only my pride was hurt as a result of a horrible snowstorm that hit the summits on the Icefields Parkway. This weekend was Mrs. TiE's birthday and she decided she wanted to spend it in Banff. I was unable to join SH on Fisher Ridge today, but Mrs. TiE consented to look after Littlest TiE for 4 hours while Teenage TiE and I tackled Mt. Cory. It was raining in Banff when we left the other TiEs and confidence of getting this hike in was poor. When we got to the trailhead, it was only spitting out so we elected to give it a shot. We started up the obvious but incorrect path as others have done before, but thanks to the SA trailmaps we were quickly back on track. We packed light due to the steepness of the hike and the lack of significant snowfall. When we were 1/3 of the way up, we realized we packed lighter than we expected when we saw that neither of us had any water. Doh! That's a first. Thankfully it was cool out and there was enough snowfall to keep us mildly hydrated. That was one steep hike. There was 2 or 3 easy rockbands to handle and other than that it was just up, up and more up. Once we crossed the snow covered alpine meadow and started up the last part we soon spied the cap tower. What a relief. The bad weather held off for the most part. It took just under 2 hours to reach the top and about 1.5 hours to get back down covering a round trip of 5.3km and just under 1000m of elevation gain. This was the first find of the cap in 2010. Thanks for the cap OFTH!

Armed with the Mount Cory Trail map from the Calgary Trail Maps, and having reviewed the logs of earlier visitors I left the trailhead at 6:30 am with perfect weather conditions (finding the correct trail is difficult - the CTMs are pretty much a must for this hike). Shortly after leaving the trailhead you take a faint trail to the right and start the stiff uphill challenge of Mount Cory - 1000 metres of elevation gain over approximately 2.5 km. Lots of loose rock and almost consistently pitchy terrain was the order of the day for this hike. Fortunately I made to the top in just under two hours - before things got too warm. The views are amazing from the cap site - the surrounding peaks are simply stunning - you never get this vantage point from the highway. I snapped a number pictures, had lunch and took in the view. The trip back took almost as much time as the trip up, with care needing to be taken with every step - lots of loose scree and sharp edged bedrock underneath that could do some damage if you were to slip. Wow, a fine challenging hike - the track log showed a distance of just over 5.2 km and I made back to the vehicle by 10:30 am. TFTH and I'll send along the numbers and post a few pictures shortly. 2008-11-15T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP109 Mount Cory N51° 11.024’ W115° 41.540’ I started out the day with big plans, a brass cap on Cory, a few Earth Caches in Banff and to finish it off another brass cap at Georgetown. What foolishness, by the time I got back to the car after getting to the brass cap on Cory I could barely walk! My total trip log was 6.5 kms with an elevation gain of 971m, so that elevation was gained in 3.25 kms and that is steep! I was unsure of the route so I ended up using the watershed to the west of the rib I should have been on for the first hour. It felt wrong and I managed to get up on the proper trail with much struggling up extremely steep scree chutes – sure glad I didn’t have to come down that way. The weather was kind of scary also with a huge wind and snow threatening, I almost gave up 3 times but persevered to finally gain my objective. I took me 2 hrs 10 min to get up and 2 hours to get down and I am exhausted. Thanks for selected this very challenging cap for your cache page ofth, it truly is in a spectacular place! 2008-08-10T20:00:00 Write note DanOCan BCP109: Dan's Cursed Cap (aka Bowness Replacement) I think I am not destined to find this cap. I DNF'ed it once, and the second time we were rained out before getting a chance to hunt it. Today it was parking -- I made three trips around Bowness Park and literally could not find a single place to park. I guess a sunny Sunday afternoon isn't the day to look for this one. I'll be back for a fourth attempt because this is my closest unfound cap. 2008-03-11T20:00:00 Write note nicolo Log Date: 3/8/2008 BCP109 Mt. Cory, found on way to Lake Louise. Had fun getting this one as I introduced geograndie #1 to brass caps. We climbed waist deep snowbanks in sneakers, and fell through the banks, but the cap was nicely exposed when we got to it. Will send in #'s Uhhhh, oh geonana, are you sure that you mean BCP109 and not BCP104? BCP109 is a mountain climb where BCP104 is a cap on the side of the road. 2008-03-08T20:00:00 Found it geonana BCP109 Mt. Cory, found on way to Lake Louise. Had fun getting this one as I introduced geograndie #1 to brass caps. We climbed waist deep snowbanks in sneakers, and fell through the banks, but the cap was nicely exposed when we got to it. Will send in #'s 2005-09-18T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP109 - Mount Cory This mountain appears to be my nemesis. Years ago I pulled a nicolo of sorts, starting up the wrong rib and getting caught at the cliff bands. This time, there were plenty of track logs floating around, so I was pretty sure that wouldn't be an issue. The day got off to a fine start, what with redrouge and j2d2 doing their classic "I thought you were going to pick me up" routine. A quick stop along the way to get a cache at Lac des Arcs, and before you know it we're trudging up that relentless rib. The cap is in a fantastic location. Great views of Temple, Pilot, Assiniboine, Rundle, and Cascade. And, as has been said, every cap should have a logbook. :) We gave the summit a good shot, but there was so much scrambling that we hit our turnaround time only about halfway to the summit from the cap. The descent might have been tougher than the ascent. Was it that steep on the way up? I don't think so. 2005-09-18T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP109 Mount Cory Three of us (J2D2, Reastick and myself) set out to conquer the Mount Cory Cap. We had a nice sunny day to begin with and an added bonus no wind. The climbing started out steep and was relentless for the entire journey. The views were outstanding. We reached a beautiful meadow just below the cap just shortly after 2 hours of climbing. Pushed on to the cap and did the usual photo stop. After a short rest we decided to continue hiking up. The route was at times difficult to make out and with my vertigo problems a touch scary. We were making good progress and I'm sure would have made the summit if not for some time constraints (sorry fellas). 2005-09-18T20:00:00 Found it j2d2 BCP109 - Mt. Cory Well, we said, if nicolo can do this cap, then anyone can. So, off we go - holy cow, is that steep. We picked the right trail at the start so wouldn't go up the wrong rib - not that that would ever happen. And it keeps on going relentlessly up and up. The day started out cool and clear and as we rose higher the views of the Bow Valley kept getting better. Finally we made the meadow and then pushed up to the cap. (every cap should have it's own log book!). I think the general consensus among us was that nicolo didn't actually make it to the cap, XRN just signed his name in the log and all those pictures were Photoshopped. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Then we pushed on to try to get to the summit before our time ran out. But the going was too slow over some tough terrain and about 800m from the top we had to turn around. Argh! So close! We were supposed to bring OFTH along with us, but we all forgot to call him. I'm sure he'll make it up there one day. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Awesome views today. Thanks OFTH. 2005-09-03T20:00:00 Write note nicolo BCP109 ( Mount Cory ) N51° 11.024 W115° 41.539 Just logging a "drop" of my Moun10Bike coin. 2005-09-02T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP109- Mt.Cory Wow what an adventure!!! Nicolo mentioned that he was planning to attempt this one on Friday. Hmmm I work the night before but I could get by on a couple hours sleep and go, riiiiight!! We started up..then up...and up somemore. I was surpised that I felt pretty good going up. Lungs and legs felt good. We made it to the "meadow" and could smell brass. We made it up to the cap location and started looking. After a few minutes of looking I decided to look in the most obvious spot...duhh! Wahooo there is that sweet cap!! After a few minutes of rest and picture taking we decided to head back down...dark clouds on the move towards us!! Well it didnt take log before it got nasty. The wind picked up, the hail came down, the thunder rumbled and then the lightening sparked! I ain't gonna lie..I was getting nervous. Seeing lightening strike close and at lower elevations than you are kinda makes you want to get down quick. I think I have the worst karma when it comes to climbs. Almost every climb this year the weather has been crap!! The bad storm passed and just stayed cloudy. We kept pressing on down the mountain. I think the 2 hours sleep was catching up to me. I probably should have took in some more fuel as well. I was getting tired but knew we were getting close. I pulled out the headlamp for a bit more light and Nicolo went down asap (no worries my man!). It was nice to get back to the Jeep. Got home, had a bite to ear, a hot shower and a few minutes later it was bedtime. Feeling great today though!! This was a good haul but 100% worth it!! So many great views!! Glad I could do this one with my friend Nicolo!! Red90, your track log was awesome, thanks!! And as always OFTH, many thanks for the cap! 2005-09-02T20:00:00 Found it nicolo OK, get ready for this ... BCP109 ( Mount Cory ) N51° 11.024 W115° 41.539 I tried this on Sunday ( Aug. 28th ) as Red90 had kindly sent me a track of his find. However, 50 meters in the trail I promptly deleted his track!!! Well, I figured that since I was here anyway, I'll see what I can figure out. So I stupidly went up the WRONG rib and with 200 meters left in elevation gain, hit a bit of a gorge! DOH!!! Well, it was hard and disappointing but still a great view so I figured I'd try again today. I went for a lil' city caching trip with XRN95 earlier this week and mentioned to him my plans ... he was in! So, I picked up XRN95 today and the brave man, with about two hours of sleep, was ready to challenge Mt. Cory. No doubt, this was tough for us but the way that I figured it, Red90 said that it wasn't technical so as long as we kept plugging at it, resting when we needed, we'd make it up. And we did. We stopped a bit on the way up as there was a bit of rain and hail. But we persevered and arrived up there in ONLY 4 1/2 hours - just a tad longer than Red90. We started to look for the cap, nothing. Then XRN95 decided to check under the log "bottle" Eureka! After many pics and a quick break in the meadows we headed down. Good idea since we heard thunder not too far off. After a while the storm rolled in, we saw it coming for a long way off! Mostly hail and lots of wind. Then add some VERY close lightening strikes and we were ready to change our shorts! It started to get dark near the end and, with around 130 meters of declination ( is that a word? ) XRN95 said, "I'm putting on my headlamp." Well, I had no light and it was getting dark so I started humping it down as fast as I could, leaving XRN95 behind ( sorry buddy! ). I made it down OK then saw some lights on near my Jeep. What the?! Ahhh, concerned Parks people wondering if we got caught in the storm. It took us around 2 1/2 hours to get down. Again, a tad slower than Red90. My most challenging, and satisfying, cap find, thanks OFTH. Oh, and this log is also an announcement that if I can do this one anyone can!

No problems. There is nothing technical to overcome and no exposure. Take the normal route to Mount Cory. At the top of the treed ridge you come to a small pass. The cap is on the small summit to the left. Mount Cory is to the right. From the pass it is 5 minutes of easy hiking. You do NOT need a GPSr to find this cap.

Now let's see, you're at least five times as fit as I am so ... hmmm ... ten hours to the cap, five hours return.

Thanks for the cap! 1841 - 31/08/2013 11:02:24 PM 2013-08-15T20:00:00 Found it danboss BCP110 - (North Glenmore) Was in the area for some caches - cap is heavily scratched so numbers were hard to read. 2013-06-06T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP 110 - Calgary (North Glenmore) N51° 00.119 W114° 05.937 Nice bike ride around Glenmore & a quick cap find. TFTCap 2013-03-08T20:00:00 Found it rustywa 10:57 PM [b]BCP110 - Calgary (North Glenmore)[/b] I was on my way to the nearby caches when I noticed that the path would bring me right by this cap so I walked over to GZ to see if I could spot something obvious under the snow. Luckily this one has a survey marker which makes the search considerably easier. It took a bit of clearing the snow around the marker but the cap showed itself quickly after that. Thanks for the cap! 2012-07-03T20:00:00 Found it TheTowerOfSong BCP110 Calgary (North Glenmore) My coords: N51 00.120 W114 05.938 At first I had thought that the coords were off, as I ran into a Survey Marker lid (which was stuck and could not be lifted by hand). Then I actually followed my GPS into the clearing and there it was, although it was quite mangled! Thanks for the cap! 2012-06-10T20:00:00 Found it BC Bees BCP110 Calgary (North Glenmore) AND now for my Second Cap....E- mail to follow and thanks. :) 2012-06-08T20:00:00 Found it kristaandgeoff BCP110 - Calgary (North Glenmore) N 51 00.122 W 114 05.937 A quick find while in the area.

The water was really flowing in the nearby river today. 2012-03-17T20:00:00 Found it cougarman70 BCP110 Calgary (North Glenmore) Another great day on the bike trails. 2011-04-29T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP110 Calgary (North Glenmore) This was my 2nd attempt looking for this one.

The resivoir is still covered in ice and snow (it did snow last night, so that may explain the snow). I was in a bit of a rush, so was dissapointed that I could not drive any closer. Had a nice walk along the pathway though. PS, the GP is mangled all to H**L. But it still marks the cap just fine!

I parked about 500 meters away and walked to the cap location. Unfortunately, every likely looking hole in the vicinity of the MP was full of ice. However, a little compass work quickly revealed the right one and some ice chipping soon exposed the goods.

Easy to find, not so easy to read. I was headed for BCP281 at Emily Follensbee School after this, but a solder joint came loose on my hacked GPSr cable and I was unable to get it working again. I tried briefly to find it by map alone but was unsuccessful. 2006-04-14T20:00:00 Found it Foster Bros BCP110 - North Glenmore Went for the multi, but couldn't find it, so settled on a cap instead.

Wondered what it was like during the June flooding. TFTC. 2005-07-17T20:00:00 Write note Foster Bros Found the cache (nicolo can attest to our being there), but are unsure of what numbers we were supposed to get to prove we were there. Any help? Foster Bros EDIT - Trying to add the BCP numbers to make ibycus' work easier. Think this is BCP110.

Some pretty good fishing to be had below the dam, too. TFTH 2004-10-22T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP110 Calgary (North Glenmore). Our last one of the evening, we found this one at around 10:15 PM. Hmmm, this spot sure looks familiar! LOL (if you're wondering, check my owned caches). It was a bit hard to read the numbers on this one as they were quite scratched up. Picture to follow. 2004-10-16T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP110 - Calgary ( North Glenmore ) N 51 0.119 W 114 05.937 Picked up on the way to finding the final cache of Pumphouse Discovery 2004-09-11T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP110 - North Glenmore Dam As my companion indicated easy to find the location of the cap, reading information was different problem 2004-09-11T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP110 - Calgary - Glenmore Dam The survey stake is visible some distance away. The numbers on the cap, however, are not particularly legible - there are many many scratches on it. But we picked up some numbers. TFTC TNLN 2004-08-31T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP110 North Glenmore. Great day for caching. Quick walk to this one on this hot day. Thanks!! 2004-08-28T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP110 (North Glenmore) I thought I might cycle around the reservoir, but I got lost in amongst the golf courses. I had no idea they pushed the bike path onto the streets. Then suddenly, it was dusk. I wish I had more time (and daylight!) to read the displays. 2004-05-07T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP110 Actually found this one last Friday. Snuck away from work for a couple minutes (was on a service call at a nearby school) to grab the numbers off this cap. 2004-03-20T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze North Glemore Reservoir It was just a short detour on my way to a new fishin’ hole this am and an easy find. I was pleasantly surprised by the new informative center that was recently constructed nearby. I stayed only about 2 minutes so did not let the GPSr do much averaging for coordinates of N51° 00.120 W114° 05.941. I’ll have to come by again and spend some more time at the interpretive center. Altitude read 1091 meters. Fishing ended up a bust - couldn’t get access to the ice so the score today ends up with cache = 1, fish = 0. It was still nice to get out and about.

It was [i]very[/i] hot. Today the temperature was higher, the humidex was well into the +30s C and mid-morning efforts to work outside proved too much even for the most heat resistant Shark. What to do? Where to keep cool? Well, the only air-conditioning available was in the Sharkmobile so "where" was determined. And what else would you do in the Sharkmobile on a hot day but take a nice drive, enjoy the scenery and find some really easy caches...and a cap, of course! It was sad to see a number of the venerable trees along Hwy 2A near the Experimental Farm broken or blown down, victims of last Wednesday's storm. Their numbers are dwindling. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_sad.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> On the lighter side, there were pelicans! A trio, alternately bright white or dark shadow, as they circled overhead in the sunlight. As we arrived at our destination, three fire trucks rushed past all business-like. Someone had a hotter situation on their hands than ourselves. Hopefully, all turned out well. We walked over to check the situation and easily found the depression. While Mr Shark went to fetch the required shovel, Mrs Shark cleared grass away for easy photographs. A quick scrape with the shovel revealed that this was the wrong spot; another one tricked by the (forgotten) decoy hole! The correct spot was immediately found and the entire chunk of dirt came off the cap in one shovelful. It was placed in the other hole. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> More grass trimming, a quick wipe of the cap, photos and done. The cap has only minor tool marks and all the numbers are very clearly stamped and readable. Thanks for the cap and the fun, outforthehunt. Thanks to van der Decken and PDOP's for their helpful support pages.

TFTH 2008-11-07T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP111 Lacombe N52° 27.781 W113° 44.432 Lacombe is named after Father Albert Lacombe (28 February 1827 — 12 December 1916), a French-Canadian Oblate (Roman Catholic) missionary who lived among and evangelized the Cree and Blackfoot First Nations of western Canada. He is now remembered for having brokered a peace between the Cree and Blackfoot, negotiating construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway through Blackfoot territory, and securing a promise from the Blackfoot leader Crowfoot to refrain from joining the North-West Rebellion of 1885. One of Lacombe's most famous residents was Roland Michener, Governor General of Canada from 1967 to 1974. A local museum and park, Michener House and Michener Park, commemorate his legacy as one of Canada's most famous and influential Governors General. Several times, the main street of this community has been used in films, since it was remodeled to resemble a town in the early 1900s. Lacombe's restored Edwardian buildings in the downtown, a historic Flat Iron building, a working blacksmith shop, and the Michener House Museum all provide visual backdrops for films and a taste of the history of the town. This was our first visit to Lacombe and we were impressed by the main street. We'll be back for a visit sometime when the sun is up! Thanks for the cap - photo already sent. 2008-10-03T20:00:00 Found it nikonboy BCP111 Lacombe N52°27.781 W113°44.432 Found while on a caching run in Lacombe. 2008-09-29T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP 111 Lacombe The last stop of the day in Lacombe & this cap turned out to be in good shape in a high visibility location, bet those folks were wondering what the heck the guy with the camera down on his knees was doing.

Oh what the heck, they're easy. 2005-09-17T20:00:00 Found it Mr. Speedy BCP111 - Lacombe Viajero Perdido and I (Mr. Speedy) went on a mini central Alberta cache raid today. This was our 16th of 20 cache/cap finds today. We got out of the car, got to the location, saw to likely depression in the ground. At first I couldn't see or feel anything exept some metal (or hard stuff anyway) sticking out of one of them, but couldn't see a cap. So I grabbed the yeller from the car and quickly swipped both. They both made the yeller go! So I figure one them was making it go because of that mettal thingny sticking out and tried digging the other one and sure enough, there it was! Hey, it's my first cap found with the yeller! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Mr. Speedy [This entry was edited by Mr. Speedy's parade on Sunday, September 18, 2005 at 3:06:23 AM.] 2005-08-17T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP111 - Lacombe N52 27.781 W113 44.432 A quick find during a break in the rain.

All in all bagged 6 caps today.

GPSVIXEN 2005-05-21T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP111 - Lacombe (C&E Trail) Normal people would have followed Highway 2A from Blackfalds, but I took C&E Trail - turns into a gravel road, you know, and then you're really not too confident that you're going the right way...

Either someone had done some metal detecting and managed to dig up all metal objects near the cap or something else. There were a couple holes near the cap that were just some metal sticking out. The cap was covered with leaves but I got it. 2004-05-27T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP111 Lacombe N52° 27.782 W113° 44.433 So what's a little 20 something kilometer detour north of Red Deer before heading home to the hearth? It was good day to drive. Looks as if gas prices are only going to be going up, might as well nab the cache at today's prices. I still don't have a Brass Cap Finding Kit so its always nice to get the easy ones, although I went to the wrong side of the sidewalk for the hunt before spotting the right location. Thanks again for the hunt and the cache.

Not a pleasant task in the winter. When we got close to GZ, the winds were blowing snow across the highway and the road to GZ had cornices forming along the ditch from the amount of snow and wind. When we pulled up we were most fortunate to find a new wood lath protruding through the snow. I waded through the thigh deep snow in the ditch and quickly exposed the cap right beside the lath in the same fashion used to expose the Bruderheim cap. What luck. Other than some serious accumulation of snow in the Sorels (why did I tak off the gaiters?), this was a quick find on a cold day. Thanks for another cap OFTH!

TFTC. 2009-08-01T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP112 - Lamont Elev. 645 metres The storm that I'd been leapfrogging ahead of all day was finally catching up with as I began the turn for the long drive home. The road that showed on the GPS turned out to be a one lane pathway with no real place to pull off. Between that and the rain that was beginning to fall from the leading edge of the storm, a quick find was of the essence. There was no immediate sign of the cap at ground zero except for a few broken pieces of lath. The marker post is long gone, so I was glad to see something to let me know I was in the right area. The long hint said the cap was above ground, but that didn't seem to be true anymore either. A bit of probing with a screwdriver uncovered the cap covered by loose dirt in the midst of a ground squirrel colony at ground zero. The cap itself is in very good shape, though whoever did the original stamping was having a really, really bad day! Thanks for the cap. 2008-09-06T20:00:00 Found it KappaAlpha Team BCP112 - Lamont 2007-06-19T20:00:00 Found it geonana BCP 112, nice drive east of Edmonton today. This was an easy find.

Some of the Watson5 drove by us while we were seeking this one-- and said "We know what you're doing!" as they went past! 2009-06-19T20:00:00 Found it Burke bushwhackers bcp113 my son took us straight to the cap thanks 2009-06-07T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP113 - Hinton Elev. 988 metres I really should have started on the long drive back to Calgary before this cap; probably before going after the last couple of caps, if truth be known! But I was here, the cap was nearby and... well, you know how it is. Parking was conveniently close by at the super mailbox, and since it was a Sunday evening I doubted I'd be inconveniencing anyone by parking there. It was a very short walk back to the guard pole, and the cap was easy to see. The cap is only lightly marked for an urban cap, and all the numbers are clear. Thanks for the cap. 2008-09-01T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP113 Found on the north side of East River Rd a short distance west of the Willow Creek Rd turn-off. A tad dusty in this area due to numerous large trucks travelling along this gravelled section. Road repairs were in progress.

Finding this one took no time at all, which is nice because we had tried finding this a couple years ago to no avail. Thanks so much to everybody who has been involved in keeping the brass cap cache alive and well. It's always great to find caches in different ways, especially these neat virtuals! This is find #1711 for us, Happy Caching :) 2017-05-07T20:00:00 Found it mkPerry BCP114 Stony Plain Out grabbing a few more BCPs on the last day for logging them. Easy parking away from traffic for this one so the Princess got out to help in the find. The find was easy since there was a red flag right next to it. The numbers, however, were pretty indecipherable. After a bit of a walk around we jumped back in the car and were off to the next one. Thanks outforthehunt for all the BCPs and the fun I've had over the last couple weeks getting most of the ones in the Edmonton area. 2017-05-01T20:00:00 Found it GeoGuider BCP114 Stony Plain Posted N 53° 31.950 W 114° 00.097 GPSr N 53° 31.950 W 114° 00.097 Email and numbers sent.

I took a photo that shows the end of the sidewalk pointing toward the cap. TFTBC. 2017-04-05T20:00:00 Found it indianajoan&marcus BCP114-Stony Plain Marcus found a hole in the mud and we dug until we could see the cap.

Again due to extreme mud, long grass and not bringing the best context shot. 2016-09-10T20:00:00 Found it WillowZilla BCP114 - Stony Plain I had real trouble with this one... there was a couple places that looked like they would hold a cap, so I dug and probed and tested and failed... I finally pulled out the compass and did a sweep and got MAJOR movement away from N. This cap was in 'Arnold Schwarzenegger' in predator mode, right in front of my face yet cleverly disguised by mud. Cant believe i couldnt see it. It took me a while with the screwdriver to clean the mud out of all the grooves and then i got some good photos :) 2014-08-13T20:00:00 Found it peaceguy BCP114 Stony Plain This one was a mess.

It looked like a party going on at the cap with orange survey tape fluttering in the wind, paint stakes and one honking big professional GPS mounted on a tripod. Something makes me think that this guy's GPS was significantly more accurate than ours. 2011-05-07T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP114 - Stony Plain Posted Coords: N53 31.950 W114 00.097 My GPSr: N53 31.950 W114 00.098 Posted Elevation: 708 m My Elevation: 703 m Just as I arrived at cap site, a train decided to barrel through, stopping a line of cars to wait for it. Not wanting to play in what I saw was the the mud puddle the cap is now living in, I waited for the train to pass too. After it did, I went about the dirty business of trying to clean the cap off enough for a decent picture. I don't really think I got there, but I did the best I could. Thank for the cap! Anyone interested in this mud cakes I made? 2010-10-13T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP114 Stony Plain Lucky for me this one was well marked, must be due to all the excavating taking place down the centre of the main drag through town! Thanks, The Dawntreaders 2010-09-17T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP114 - Stony Plain It was starting to get dark by the time I arrived at this cap. Plenty of parking right next to the cap location, but also a lot of garbage at GZ. I quick sweep with the metal detector and I was in luck!

After confirming the numbers & continuing with the search the cap was discovered...sort of near the edge of a dirt parking area not too far off the sidewalk but with no obvious reference point or reason for being placed in such a spot. These cap locations never fail to amaze me. TFTCap 2009-10-02T20:00:00 Found it Kbrunog BCP114 -Stony Plain N53° 31.950 W114° 00.097 Found, my first official logging of a Brass Cap. Man this one was too beat up to make out the official number though. I did not find the iron post but I did find the Cap. 2009-07-06T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP114 Stony Plain Posted N53° 31.950 W114° 00.097 GPSrN53° 31.950 W114° 00.098 Had the same experience as vdD on this one. Found an iron stake at GZ in a depression. Cleared it out, took a photo and returned to the car. Checked the past logs to ensure this was what I was to find when I read vdD's log. Went back to GZ and there was the GL cap right next to the iron stake. Glad I checked. Thanks for the cap and I mean cap. 2009-07-06T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP114 Stony Plain It has been years since we were in Stony Plain. Very difficult to read this cap. TFTH. 2009-05-30T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP114 - Stony Plain Elev. 711 metres When I started doing caps last year, about the only information I had along with me about the cap I was looking for was the coordinates and the short hint. A few times I'd get back home, look at the previous logs and say "gee, I wish I'd known that when I was there!" But I never [i]really[/i] missed having the logs along. Even after I'd figured out how to put the logs into PDOP's most excellent brass cap gpx file, I never really used them; until today! And now I'm a convert to DanOCan's camp; these things are [i]really[/i] useful! First I parked on the wrong side of the tracks and walked over. I found a hole and figured that had to be the cap. Since I wasn't expecting to have to dig, I'd left most of the capping kit in the car, so I walked back over and drove up to the cap. When I excavated the hole, I found an iron bar post. Huh? I was expecting a cap? And where's that phone junction box that the hint mentioned? The only box I could see was a loooong way off to the north east. I tried pacing off the distance and direction from that, thinking I might find another excavation in the grass, but I ended up a long, long way away from where my GPSr wanted me to be. Odd! I looked back to the south again and ... ahhh. Another junction box, concealed by a parked truck! I pulled out the PDA and decided I was going to read the logs to see what they had to say. No mention of bad coordinates or missing caps, but oho! Everhollow mentioned the iron pin post and said where she found the cap in relation to that. Back to ground zero and there it was, plain as day. I'd probably been standing on it as I'd inspected the hole... <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blush.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The cap is pretty much flush with ground level. It had been painted blue at some point, but virtually all of it is gone. As you might expect, the cap is fairly battered and some of the digits require a bit of squinting to make out. If you've found the iron pin, look between that and the corner of the sidewalk and you'll find the cap. Thanks for the cap that finally got me to look at the logs! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2009-04-18T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP114 ~ Stoney Plain Day 2 of my Most of Alberta road trip for work. Started in Calgary and Got as far North and West as White Court. Got lots of work done, and a bit of caching along the way as well. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. Got lucky with this one today, with all the tire tracks that where going over the cap location one of the many trucks in the area could have been parked over top of the cap. TFTC , TNLNSL.

The first time it was under a small lake after a summer rain storm and the second time it was under a vehicle. When I saw Geo-Explorer's recent log I decided to stop again on my way home from the big city. It's a pretty beat up cap. 2005-12-28T20:00:00 Found it Klondike Mike BCP114 Stony Plain N53 31.591 W114 00.099 Can't read the number so took a picture.

Was a though find as there was a van parked right on top of it. I finaly found (under the vehicle) it after swiping the ol'yeller everywhere else. I will upload photos a little later. Mr. Speedy 2005-11-12T20:00:00 Found it Viajero Perdido BCP114 - Stony Plain This was a first - a brass cap under a parked vehicle! I wish I had a photo of Mr. Speedy reaching into the rear wheel well with his camera. The numbers may not come out in his photo, but we're certain we found the cap. (Luckily, perhaps, all the vehicles parking on the dirt there over the years pushed the ground level down below that of the cap, so "5 CM BGL" is now more like "3 CM AGL"). (Update: After reading the other logs for this BCP, I'm not so sure. Changing my smiley into something neutral... Oh well, good for a laugh all the same!) (Up-update: After seeing Speedy's pictures, I'm convinced.

Whew, almost had to give up on this on as we thought that it was under a truck that was for sale. Read GPSVIXENS log for this and soon after found a splash of orange, whew! Pics to come. 2005-08-12T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP114 This one was kind of funny. Walking up to the cap, I noticed a truck for sale parked roughly where the GPS was pointing. Jokingly, I said, I bet the truck is parked right on the cap. Sure enough, as we got closer, it looked more and more like that was the case. In fact, my GPS zero'ed out in about the middle of the truck bed. After crawling around on my belly, and searching in vain in the dirt and grass around the truck we were just about ready to give up. Turning away, nicolo noticed some markings on the sidewalk, and there, crystal clear was the cap. 2005-07-18T20:00:00 Didn't find it PDOP's BCP114 Stony Plain Looked for this one in a downpour.

Thanks. 2015-05-23T20:00:00 Found it momzee BCP115 Rocky Mountain House Posted N52° 22.246 W114° 57.664 We were checking out the historic site and the nearby CNRL facility when TiE recalled this cap being here. The post was quickly spotted and the cap found. Thanks for the cap. 2015-05-23T20:00:00 Found it 2Sloths BCP115 Rocky Mountain House Final cap of the day. Really easy to spot, right by a marker post. 2014-08-04T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP115 Rocky Mountain House Our day of caching and capping was winding down and so, it seemed was our luck. We had nearly DNF'd the Nordegg cap but managed to leave with a smilie. Later we had to walk away from the other Rocky Mountain House cap (our first brass cap DNF <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_sad.gif" border="0" align="middle" />). That was immediately followed by a DNF on a cache so we were looking for a little redemption. The sun had set but we knew this should be an easy find. Fortunately it was. We spotted the marker post as we drove up, walked over, scuffed at a depression and revealed the cap. Yes! Perhaps we weren't washed up at this game yet! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> We took care of the details then headed off to find some food before hitting the highway homeward. Yes, we knew there was a fresh new cache close to home but that was an hour away and we had no reason to feel optimistic about a FTF. Correction, we were too hungry to really care! Perhaps we'd feel differently if it was still unlogged once we had something in our bellies. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for this and the other caps along our way today, outforthehunt. We appreciated what they added to our fun! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_approve.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2013-08-15T20:00:00 Found it G & E BCP115 - Rocky Mountain House Found on a camping trip near RMH.

Doesn't get any better than that! The local Tim's was selling "Official Stampeders and Eskimos" donuts and tracking the customer preferences, during our visit the Stamps were leading 21 to 16 - or maybe it was Tim's that was winning:) 2011-05-07T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP115 - Rocky Mountain House Posted Coords: N52 22.246 W114 57.664 My GPSr: N52 22.246 W114 57.664 Posted Elevation: 966 m My Elevation: 963 m This was an easy find: the cap lives in a relatively civilized ditch just outside someone's property. This was the last cap before arriving at my ultimate destination for the day: the site of the original Rocky Mountain House fur trading site. It was a real thrill to roam the grounds (they open in a couple of weeks I think) and imagine the likes of David Thompson staging expeditions across the Rockies through Howse Pass and later north through the Athabascau Pass. 2010-07-20T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP115 Rocky Mountain House Another nice quick one today.

Our first stop in Rocky was this well exposed nicely situated cap. We intended visiting the historic fort but a train was stopped across the access road and looked like it would be there for a while, so we headed up to Crimson Lake PP and went for a 10 km hike around the lake instead (good choice). Thanks for selecting this cap ofth. The numbers are covered by some beautiful Marsh Marigold Flowers seen at Crimson Lake. 2009-06-09T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP115 Rocky Mountain House Elev. 3162 ft.

I don't have a watch down in Calgary, so Ninja fairies was kind enough to forward me the notice. Too much of an evening drive down from Edmonton, so I figured i'd go grab the closest caps to me and log on opening day. I had thing's 2 and 1 with me today so wasnt so conspicuous searching around right next to a little kids ball practice :) hopefully i read the cache page right or I'm going to look foolish logging these here :) 2017-05-13T20:00:00 Found it cailloupot BCP116 Edmonton Out with the kids to find a few caps on this beautiful day.TFTBC! 2017-05-06T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP116 Edmonton Hearing a loud speaker when we exited the vehicle made us wonder if the baseball diamond would be in use and if that would be a problem. However, before the baseball diamond came into view we realized the activity was at the BMX track and we were relieved. We made a quick find, dug the cap out better and gathered the necessary information before walking on for BCP168. Thanks for the cap, ofth. 2017-05-06T20:00:00 Found it Gimli*/GeoJoce BCP116 Edmonton My second cap find of the day and another one that just took me too long to find. The park was very busy today. So busy that I had to park on one of the nearby side streets AND I could not go for the other cap close by. There was just no way to be stealthy in the middle of the field with soccer players nearby. :) I did eventually find this one with the help of some context pics. A nice spot and a nice walk from my parking spot.

The snow cover and the GPS didn't help allow it to be a quick find. Waited while a couple early morning muggles walking there dog in the dark went by then tried to sweep the bit of snow with my foot in the area I was zeroing in on. After a little while of this I started worrying that someone would walk up a wonder what this seemly insane person was doing in the dark clearing a patch with a flashlight. Luckily nobody came by but almost gave up until I looked up some context pictures from previous finds. Based on that found the BCP just north of the area I had cleaned. Or at least I found the divot where the BCP was. The BCP was covered with a layer of ice so I couldn't read the numbers on it. 2016-08-30T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP116 Edmonton This was the second cap of the day for Mrs BVPete and I today. We enjoyed our short walk to the cap, which once again was quickly found using context photos posted by various other cappers. There was one ball game going on a distant diamond and just a few dog walkers out and about. We acquired the data and we (along with Jack the dog) headed over past the Velodrome for the next cap. Thanks for posting this cap ofth. 2016-08-26T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP116 Edmonton, 675m Another cap in the grass that quickly appeared. I took a photo, but if the dandelion is gone, it won't do you much good. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2016-04-19T20:00:00 Found it mikefromcanmore BCP116 Edmonton. Out for a walk in the Mill Ravine Park. No baseball game on today so all was quiet. 2016-04-03T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv I found BCP116 Edmonton. I was up in Edmonton for a bowling tournament and decided to come up early and do a little caching first. I was still a little shocked that we qualified for the tournament because this is our first year bowling and we happened to just keep doing well and qualifying for more and more tournaments. That is until we came to this one and realized that we were a little out of our league. The bowlers here were really good, not just once a week, more interested in the beer bowlers like we are. Oh well we still had a great time and at least we didn't finish in last place. I parked close and made the short walk over. There was a crew getting the BMX track ready so I'm guessing there was a race later. I found the divot quickly and then exposed the cap. As I was cleaning off the cap I got a call making sure I was up and ready for the tournament. You bet just need a little caching done first. Thanks for another great cap.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, so to speak. Thanks for the cap! 2012-05-12T20:00:00 Didn't find it The Wilde Ones BCP116 Edmonton N53° 30.385 W113° 27.867 Since we were already at BCP168, we decided to try this one too. Same result. Last log was almost 2 years ago. Recent pathway construction and resodding left us with nothing to find. Did our best to follow the description to retrace it's location, but came up empty. Will have to watch this one too. 2010-11-05T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP116 Edmonton A not to long stroll over to this cap from the previous one I had had just recored and then it was a nice return hike to where I had parked my vehicle, some half kilometer distance away.

Cap painted orange & pretty battered up, the numbers still legible for the most part. TFTCap 2009-04-25T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP116 - Edmonton Elev. 667 metres A nice easy cap found in the twilight. The adjacent ball diamond was deserted; whew! The previous excavation was still quite visible and all the cap needed was a bit of clearing and cleaning. It's in reasonable shape, but a couple of the numbers are down to educated guesswork. Thanks for the cap. 2008-06-29T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP116 Edmonton Our last brass cap of the weekend. A great park that I would like to explore a bit further.

This was one of two that I found on the bike ride home from work today. I tried two others too but DNF'd: DNF: BCP119 Edmonton 51 Ave - I didn't realize I was looking for just a stem! (Well, I don't do needles in haystacks either.) I think this one was covered up with some fresh dirt landscaping (how dare they!) DNF: BCP172 Queen Elizabeth Pool - Tried this the other day at night, and tried again today by daylight which became night. The stake is gone, and the stove is long gone. I moved a huge amount of leaves with my hands, to no avail. (I should move so many leaves on my own lawn!) If anybody else wants to try this one, I've left a nicely raked patch of lawn for you! 2005-10-01T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP116-Edmonton Wow 2 caps so close together, nice treat!!

Always fun finding them. This one was close to one of our geocaches that we needed to re-hide, so it worked out well. Thanks for the continued fun! 2004-04-11T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze S. Edmonton Did you know I was going to be in Edmonton. What a serendipitous (sp?) happening. Had time to try on more cache for the day: and a great day it was. Found a survey marker ( I thought), took the required photograph and was about to leave. Sure didn’t seem to be like similar one’s I’ve located previously. Something just didn’t ring true though. Decided to poke and prod around a bit more in some other depressions and, sure enough, heard the distinctive “ching” of something underground. I was able to do some careful surgery of the surrounding sod to unearth the cap. Did the best I could to replace the divot.

TFTCap OFTH! 2008-10-11T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP117: Canmore After leaving the rest of the cap hunting gang and heading home solo I saw this one appear on the map...how have I missed it on my previous trips through town? As I got closer, I remembered -- there doesn't seem to be anywhere to park within a kilometer of the cap. So, I did what all good cappers do -- I parked on the side of the road, threw on the four-way flashers and made my way up the hill to grab a pic or two. 2008-08-11T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP117 - Canmore Alt. 1391 metres Made the short hike over from the nearby earthcache. The only thing that particular arrangement has going for it is that parking is not an issue. Short hike: yes. Steep hike, oh yes. Lots of loose scree: you'd better believe it! Down, down, down, down. Try not to do all the down in one fell swoop. Up, up, up, up, (a bit of down thrown in from time to time as the wind tried to blow me off the hill) up, up, up, am I there yet? No? Up, up, up, ah there it is! Oh, you have to rain on me now? Gee thanks. The cap is in reasonable shape. There's a bit of wear and tear on the date, but everything is still quite readable. Down, down, down, down. Repeat trying not to do all the down in one fell swoop. Emphasis on "fell". As in don't slip and fall. Easier to say than do on this scree. Where are my hiking boots? Oh right, in the trunk. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blush.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> And, and now up, up, up, up, up, up. I did mention that the only thing parking by the earthcache had going for it was the parking, right? <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Sit and recover in the car. Watch the wind shred candy cotton clouds on jagged toothed mountains. A pretty sight now that I'm not trying to walk up and down scree slopes in that wind. Thanks for the cap. It was definitely more of a workout than I expected! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2008-07-19T20:00:00 Found it Nika05 BCP117 - Canmore 2008-07-01T20:00:00 Found it rubiconrunner BCP 117 - Canmore It had just started to rain on the hike up here but by the time we were leaving it was pouring.

TFTBC! 2008-06-18T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP117 - Canmore N51 05.706 W115 20.522 GPSr: N51 05.708 W115 20.521 Canmore is a town in Alberta, Canada, located in the Bow Valley with a permanent population of 11,442 (2005 census) and a non-permanent population is about 3,790. It is located just east of the world-famous Banff National Park, about 110 kilometres (70 mi) west of Calgary and immediately north of Kananaskis Country. The town lies in the Bow Valley, named so for the Bow River that passes through it. Its mountain setting is noted for The Three Sisters. Canmore's climate is relatively mild compared to most regions of Canada, with the coldest day in January averaging only -8 °C (18 °F), with very low humidity that makes it feel considerably warmer than the thermometer indicates. Summers are short and cool, and winters are long but usually sunny and dry. The area boasts, on average, 330 days of sunshine annually, with the short wet season occurring through mid-May to early June. The rest of the summer is considered semi-arid. Mountains located adjacent to and visible from the townsite are Grotto Mountain (2,706 m / 8,878 ft), Mount Lady Macdonald (2,606 m / 8,550 ft), Mount Lawrence Grassi (2,685 m / 8,809 ft) and, most famously, the Three Sisters (2,936 m, 2,769 m, 2,694 m or 9,633 ft, 9,084 ft, 8,839 ft). Canmore was officially named in 1884 by Canadian Pacific Railway employee Donald A. Smith. In 1886, Queen Victoria granted a coal mining charter to the town, and the No. 1 mine was opened in 1887. The coal mining industry in Canmore boomed well into the 20th century. In 1965, Canmore was incorporated as a town. By the 1970s, the market for coal was diminished, and in 1979 Canmore Mines Ltd. ceased operations. As a result of safety and reclaimation policies instigated by the province of Alberta, all but a few mining structures were demolished in the following year; only the lamp house and a few mine entrances remain today. Canmore's economic future seemed dismal until the announcement in the early 1980s that Calgary, Alberta would be hosting the 1988 Winter Olympics, and that Canmore would play host to the Nordic events. This resulted in an increase in tourism, and Canmore began to develop into the recreational tourist destination it is today. The Canmore Hotel sits on the main street as it has for over 100 years. The building has changed very little in this time making it one of the most distinguishable landmarks in Canmore. The cap is in good condition and lies on a bench south of the TransCanada Highway. It offers nice views of the townsite and the Three Sisters. A very nice spot outforthehunt! 2008-06-03T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP117 – Canmore N51° 05.706’ W115° 20.522’ I made my way up from just east of the cemetery on this very rainy Tuesday.

This one was the only one that required any real work. I parked down by the Sheraton Four-Points and the cap was about 250m as the crow flies. I approached this one from the south and missed entirely the trail on the east. Not a biggie though, because the trail was muddy and a bit slippery. A bit of a climb but definitely worth the view.

Have to come back in the summer...hopefully a lot of the white stuff will be gone by then. Weird, this was the hardest cap to get to today, yet the only one we found. 2004-12-12T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP117-Canmore Only cap find of the day on the Banff trip!! I have a few DNF caps today but instead of logging them I will just mention that I had some! Bad thing about a caching trek is the number of logs you have to do. Too tired! The cap hunting was severly limited by snow and ice. WIll have to try the caps in the spring/summer I geuss. Always great to nab another cap though!! Thanks!! 2004-09-24T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP117 Canmore - Silver tip. My companions log says it all except she neglects to mention the result of parking in the non parking area was we dragged some of the grass along, I suspect passing cars on the way home must have be laughing at our trailing grass. 2004-09-24T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP117 - Canmore It had been a long day - leaving Nakusp in the morning, and heading back home after a week's vacation in the West Kootenays. Hit Canmore about supper time. Decided to dine there. Afterwards, read the clue for this cap, and decided it was probably an easy find - I mean, it refers to the intersection of Palliser Trail and Silvertip Trail - that must make it in a residential section, right?!? Not!!! The description also said that we should follow an existing bike trail - that would be the paved thing that we see adjacent to the street, right?!?! Not!!! See that hill? See that incredibly steep rough gravelly (scree-y) path that only an insane biker (or a teenager) would ride down? It's up there! And we're going to climb it on a full stomach? You betcha!! Cuz we're champion brass cap finders! And that's what we do. Cap was easy to find, hard to get to, and harder to get back to the car. Not that there's any convenient parking place nearby at all... But it was fun, as usual. TFTC OFTH 2004-04-25T20:00:00 Found it j2d2 [b]BCP117 – Canmore – SilverTip[/b] Short steep hike up to a fantastic viewpoint with amazing views of the corridor.

D'oh! Weather-wise, today was probably a better day anyways though I still found the BC covered with a thin layer of wet dirt from last night's rain. The cap is in great shape otherwise. After cleaning it off the best I could, I was able to get the necessary info for my visit. TFTBC. 2017-04-22T20:00:00 Found it behmSquad BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) #26 of 46 caps found on the day. I spent the early morning finding caps at all points from Calgary to Red Deer. I returned to Calgary in the afternoon to clear out much of north Calgary including a good hike across nose hill. TFTC 2017-04-17T20:00:00 Found it TheTowerOfSong BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) I had looked for this cap in 2011 with my old iPhone and ended up missing it! Today I was out with Dad and in case of emergency, I also brought along another capping TOTT - my metal detector. That tool was unnecessary as my Garmin brought me right to the cap. Yes, it is in a deep hole but it was a much easier find than I thought it would be. As I was smearing mud and dirt off the cap, a dog thought he would help out - who WOULDN'T want to dig for a cap on a day like today?! Thanks pup! Got the good and will send them off to the CO immediately! Thanks for another great cap and an avenged DNF. 2017-04-13T20:00:00 Found it Zoogirl1 BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) Was up at Nose Hill for a Donerstag event and was fortuitous enough to park beside k5cents, who, after we started chatting about them, offered to show me what a BCP looks like. Good to get this one under my belt before the changes to the cache occur. Thanks for keeping this well loved cache alive, OFTH! 2017-04-09T20:00:00 Found it hunthikers BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) A geowalk up on to NHP again today with the objective of the last 3 brass caps within the park area and maybe at attempt at a puzzle find. We parked on S parking of 14th St NW and walked up onto the edge and headed N with the geokids picking up the caps as we made a loop. This was the first stop of the outing. The geoson found a divot right away just to the E of the trail, but no cap was apparent. After about 10 mins of looking around we resorted to pacing out from the marker objects (rock 17m NW, edge 10m E) and they point to that same divot. The compass wasn't too helpful, so we resorted to probing deeper into the divot and after removing a few more cm of topsoil, found the cap (down about 20cm from ground level).

The lightly colored rock mentioned in the hint has a bolt similar to the one we found at the previous cache, but we were still 15 m or so from GZ, so we persevered and after some diligent observation, we tracked this one down. Answers sent! We thought it was interesting to look at 14th St from here. It looks like it went straight up to the hill at one point, but that it was re-routed to the east when the city grew. We live in the neighbourhood south of Nose Hill and when we moved in, the original neighbour across the alley came over to greet us. His children would go up the street and up the hill to play, this before John Laurie was there. Thanks for taking us to a most interesting spot! 2016-02-29T20:00:00 Found it kristaandgeoff BCP120 - Calgary (Nose Hill 3) N 51 06.662 W 114 05.883 Found this one just before attending the Leap Day event. As loki and I approached GZ of the event, we went the 80m to grab this one. Thanks for the cap! 2016-02-29T20:00:00 Found it loki226 BCP 120. TFTC 2016-02-29T20:00:00 Found it GeoMonkey_AB BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) After the Leap Day event today I needed one more cache to make 11 caches on the day - just incase I want to do Canadian Rockies 11 caches a day winter challenge. This cap was only about 80m way and with the wind and snow that seemed to be coming it seemed like the best bet to get off the hill quickly. I made my way over and found the cache uncovered. Thanks for another fun cap! 2015-11-08T20:00:00 Found it geoCurious2 BCP120 - Calgary (Nose Hill 3) Surprised to find this one several centimeters below grade. The wind was blowing cold at the top of Nose Hill this afternoon. Grandson SpeedyExplorer of ExplorerFamily4 was with us today for the find. Being small, young, and full of energy he was at the top of the hill before we had made it half way! 2015-10-14T20:00:00 Found it GPSJean Still confused why I would log 2 different caps at the same cache page but I see others have done so... I will too. My second cap ever found was BCP 120 Nose Hill 3. I saw it, Thanks again to Kinderken, October 11, 2015 after meeting for an International Earthcache event. We had to clear away some dirt to get a good look at this one but it was well worth the experience on a very fun day of caching with Timdog, Cachers4ever, Kinderken and Sam. 2015-10-11T20:00:00 Found it 2Sloths BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) N51° 06.451 W114° 05.677 Grabbed right before we went to the flash mob event today. Never have really been to Nose Hill before it was fun to explore the park. Thanks for the cap! 2015-10-11T20:00:00 Found it Hedgehog's spoon BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) found while up at the flash mob on nose hill. This makes my fourth brass cap find i think. And i think all of them have been because i was nearby with geocachers who pointed them out. Darwould had a photo. 2015-10-11T20:00:00 Found it rustywa 11:30 AM [B]BCP120 - Calgary (Node Hill 3)[/b] After the earth cache event we went out to find this one, with a lot of other people. I guess that helped since this time it was found quickly. That avenges the previous 3 visits! Thanks for the cap, picture follows. 2015-10-11T20:00:00 Found it Jimigigilo Gumbyphv and I found BCP 120 in Calgary prior to an event. After doing some digging we were able to see the cap.

We got up to this location a little before the event started so we decided to look for this cap. We found the divot and after digging a little dirt out we noticed the cap. I used my trekking pole to break up the dirt around the cap and then we removed it to reveal a very nice and very readable cap. Awesome views from here. Thanks for another great brass cap.

It was a fun hunt nonetheless and thanks to the perseverance of some fellow Cachers, we left having been successful. Thanks for another fun hunt. I have emailed the required information to the CO. 2015-03-20T20:00:00 Found it BirddogBrien BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) Found before the Vernal Equinox event. JanlarC had checked out the spot, but hadn't gone deep enough. I rechecked it and found the cap. She emailed our information to you. Thanks for the BC virtual cache. 2015-03-20T20:00:00 Found it JanlarC BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) #3349. A tricky find just before the Vernal Equinox event. I had the location, but didn't go deep enough. BirddogBrien went the right depth for the find. Thanks for the brass cap virtual cache. 2015-01-25T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP120 - Calgary (Nose Hill 3) Out for a nice stroll at Nose hill and decided to get a couple of caps and a few caches while we were there. Although there was little snow, there was still ice and a lot of mud. This cap required some work to get through the ice. TFTH 2014-08-30T20:00:00 Found it andjohn BCP120 Not sure I would of found this without Crasher10's eagle eyes.

There is no guard post anymore, but the hole is pretty obvious. It's about 3 feet from the path. The cap is 6 inches below ground level. I had to remove a few stones and some dirt, then wiped the cap. Thanks again. 2014-08-07T20:00:00 Found it Citizen_22 BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) N51° 06.451 W114° 05.677 Biking in Nose hill park this evening and was able to find this cap.

What a admirably large preserve to have in the city. I couldn't resist finding a couple of caches on the way up to this one. When I arrived near ground zero, the divot the cap lives in was obvious, but I had to dig out quite a few rocks and a bunch of earth to get a view of the cap. It's a bit difficult to see in my photo, but it's there. Thanks for the cap! 2013-06-06T20:00:00 Found it Thonor1 BCP 120 - Calgary (Nose Hill 3) N51° 06.451 W114° 05.677 2013-06-06T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP 120 - Calgary (Nose Hill 3) N51° 06.451 W114° 05.677 A quick cap find - great views from up here! 2012-09-15T20:00:00 Found it Nike Goddess of Winged Victory BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) My coordinates N51 06.452 W114 05.679 Great cap for me to find.

There were many people about going about their buisness and a few offers of assistance. The GPSr was placed at GZ and we were searching from there and a helpful soul wondered if that was what we were looking for. Until Next Time. Thanks for the Hunt, OFTH! 2011-11-26T20:00:00 Didn't find it TheTowerOfSong BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) N51° 06.451 W114° 05.677 Looked for this one, but did not have a pokey stick to try to find it in the trampled grass and in the numerous holes in the area.

All the rain we have been experiencing certainly agrees with the prairie grasses and wildflowers, it's more verdant than I can ever recall. 2011-06-14T20:00:00 Found it Kaerran BCP120 - Calgary (Nose Hill 3) N51° 06.451 W114° 05.677 Nice view from here.

If I record the numbers before taking my coordinate reading, that seems to give it enough time to settle down and get realy quite accurate. Not sure if I found this on the 5th or 6th of July, but will put the 5th because that is when I left the house. This was actualy my first cache on Nose Hill. Kind of supprises me that after over 125 finds, and living in North Calgary, I haven't even looked for a cache on Nose Hill yet. Hiking up here at night is interesting. Good thing I had Google Maps Mobile going to show me the way. The view up there is great at night.

TFTBC!!!! 2009-05-15T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) The hike up to this cap was just what my son & I needed this afternoon, in fact a few hundred feet more elevation gain would have been welcome. The cap was discovered after the briefest of searches upon pulling the covering rocks out of the hole, it was found to be in great shape. TFTCap 2009-04-28T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) Posted N51° 06.451 W114° 05.677 GPSr N51° 06.452 W114° 05.678 As I got closer to the cap it was apparent that it would be at the absolutley highest point and it was. The cap was covered with loose rock and grass, but was in great shape. Nice sunset starting from the hill. Now if I can just get over to BCP074 before dark.

Great view from here. 2008-06-28T20:00:00 Found it Everhollow BCP120 - Calgary (Nose Hill 3) N51° 06.451 W114° 05.677 Now I see why I didn’t find it the last time I was up here! Thank you for the Nose Hill cap. 2008-04-17T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP120 Calgary (Nose Hill 3) I can see where this one would be a real bear to find with snow or ice on the ground. Tonight however, neither was a problem. 2008-04-14T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP120 - Calgary Nose Hill #3 I am very glad I was able to locate a slight depression where a previous cacher had dug a very deep hole to the cap. I don't think I would have found it, even with my metal detector (which was in the car's trunk). It sure was nice to see all the crocus flowers on the hill. Thanks for the very enjoyable hike in the park ofth. 2007-11-23T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP120 -- Calgary (Nose Hill 3) 5cm BGL? Not likely. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Big thanks to those previous cappers who uncovered this one and then used the pile of rocks to keep it exposed. Took just a little digging in the obvious hole to uncover some brass. 2007-08-19T20:00:00 Found it Red90 BCP120 Calgary Nose Hill 3 N51 06.451 W114 05.677 Finally got back to this one with digging tools and struck brass right away under the dirt. Coordinates were dead on for me despite one previous log saying they were not. 2007-07-29T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri BCP120 - Calgary (Nose Hill 3) Another quick and hot find. TFTH. This one is cruel; the coordinates are off. -Neko & Hiiri <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2007-05-22T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP120 ~ Calgary (nose Hill 3) I was out cycling around the Hill today and refused to leave before getting at least one of the Caps up here. 2007-03-31T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP120 - Calgary (Nose Hill 3) Made a number of tries for this one over the last few years, but I've always come up empty handed. Today however was my day. I knew from reading various logs that this one had been found (quite a number of times now). So it shouldn't be too difficult. Paced off my distance from the large rock, and then walked in a rough arc looking for the cap. Found what at first I thought were a pair of gopher holes. On closer inspection, one turned out to be the cap (the other was presumably a missed attempt at the cap...). Put a rock in the hole to hopefully keep it open for the next cacher. Thanks for the cap, and thanks to those who uncovered this one. 2007-03-29T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP120 Calgary Nose Hill 3 N51 06.451 W114 05.677 Had to excavate a couple inches of clay to read the numbers off this one today.

Terrible night for Younger Foster Bro on Nose Hill today, of the 5 caches/caps attempted, one was a find. Couldn't locate either. One had a good spot that looked like a cap should be there, but a different chunk of metal distracted the compass. Sigh. Younger Foster Bro 2006-07-16T20:00:00 Didn't find it Viajero Perdido BCP120 Calgary Nose Hill 3 I poked deeply into the dirt in both holes with my cache-finding pole, but only found more dirt. Now that I've read the logs, I see I should've brought a shovel! 2005-10-12T20:00:00 Found it Dog Knows BCP120 Calgary Nosehill 3 N 50° 17.413 W 114° 31.468 An easy find under the rocks.

Quite a ride on the old Geocycle. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_tongue.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2005-07-27T20:00:00 Found it ScouterHerb & MrsB BCP120 N51 06.083, W114 06.160 Found with 911turbos (daughter & son-in-law) from Port Moody, BC. 2005-07-27T20:00:00 Found it 911turbos BCP120 - Nose Hill III Looked in the wrong hole at first, then noticed the other hole with the rock. Lots of bugs protecting it. 2005-06-25T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP120 - Nose Hill Thank you to the last cachers who found this cap, as without the rocks over the cap it would have been covered in dirt. 2005-06-21T20:00:00 Found it Smrt_geer BCP120 Calgary - Nose Hill III Ok, now it's time for me to return the favour. I dug this one up today and put a few rocks in the hole to mark it. Should be ready for the next finder... Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo? 2005-06-20T20:00:00 Didn't find it Smrt_geer BCP120 Calgary - Nose Hill III Looks like the rain has washed in the hole where I "think" it's located. I'll have to bring one of them fancy diggin tools with me next time. Rocks don't work so well. 2005-05-28T20:00:00 Didn't find it The4B's BCP120 - Calgary Nose Hill (3) You'd think standing in the middle of the bald prairie, not a bush or tree for miles and grass only 1" tall, you'd be able to find a brass cap. Even with the hints, no go. We didn't try that long and then went off to do some other caches in the area. TFTC. 2005-05-23T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP120 Nosehill, Calgary Took a little searching to find this cap. 2005-05-09T20:00:00 Found it GPSlug BCP120 - Calgary (Nose Hill 3) First hole: broken marker post Second hole: nice readable cap 2005-04-10T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP120 Nose Hill Park. About 6 inches below the surface under a rock. 2005-04-03T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP120 Nose Hill 3 Such a nice quiet morning up here. This one proved to be a little elusive but persistance pays off! Thanks 2005-04-02T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP120 - Nose Hill Man, it sure was a lot easier this time: The temperature was about 30C warmer, and I dug in the right hole. Actually, "dug" isn't the right word, as I just had to lift a couple rocks. Hard to believe I spent about 30 minutes digging a mere 30cm away. Sigh. 2004-11-16T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP120 Calgary NoseHill N51º 06.446 W114º 05.684 Elevation: 1225 m. This can’t be Nose Hill! I must have dropped into a parallel universe. There is NO wind here today, what a treat. It’s kind of embarrassing to realize that I didn’t pursue this other location the first time around especially after the hard work of previous cachers to locate the cap. The compass gave no indication of movement on the previous visit so I dismissed it. TFYABP. 2004-11-13T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP120 - Calgary Nose Hill Pretty easy find. It is important to thank J2D2 and CYMBC for their efforts in digging it out - I was there trying to find it before they did their work, and the ground was so compacted that it was pretty impossible. But with their hard labour, it is now easy for the rest of us to find it. TFTC OFTH 2004-11-10T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP120 - Nosehill Thanks to Cap'n Cache and Lt. Geo for making things easy to find. I looked at the pic ( Cymbc's or j2d2's, don't remember ) and noticed the big rock nearby. Look around and saw two fresh piles of dirt, Eureka! Undug the cap, noted the numbers and recovered. 2004-11-10T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP120 - Calgary (Nose Hill) Ahh, there you are!! Excavating this was fairly easy thanks to previous cachers. It's amazing how much the ground has risen since this one was placed. Thanks for the hunt! 2004-10-10T20:00:00 Found it balloonatic BC120 Second cap of the day. Finally got around to looking for some of these. Great day out on Nose Hill today. i think I may have gotten an October sunburn? TFTBC 2004-10-01T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP120- NoseHill Found this one pretty easily only thanks to Cymbc and J2D2!! A big thanks to both for making this one findable for everyone else!! I know I wouldnt have found this one on my own!! Great day to be on Nosehill, first or 3 caps for the day. Thanks as always to OFTH!! 2004-09-29T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP120 J2D2's log tells the story of finding it tonight at long last. This was my fourth attempt to find this elusive cap. I was close last time, compass in the hole made all the difference this time. I was expecting an Alberta brass cap but it's Government of Canada topographic survey cap. 2004-09-29T20:00:00 Found it j2d2 BCP120 - Calgary Nose Hill I met cymbc up on Nose Hill with my new Brass Cap Detector determined to find this elusive cap. Cymbc had excavated half of Nose Hill on his last attempt, and the BCD was beeping all around his excavation. Finally, he used the compass in the hole and it pointed to the cap. Some more digging revealed the Topographical Survey cap. We put a rock in the hole before refilling, it will be a lot easier for the next capper to find and cymbc will sleep a lot easier tonight for sure. 656.008 2005-05-30T02:00:00-06:00 BCP121 Lloydminster by outforthehunt, Benchmark (1/1) http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP121.html Lloydminster Geocache Geocache|Benchmark Lloydminster outforthehunt outforthehunt Benchmark Virtual 1 1 Canada Alberta <a href='http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP121.html'TARGET='resource window'>Past Finds for BCP121</a> <a href='https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=17395&LogType=2'TARGET='resource window'>Log Your Find</a> 10 CM BGL IN PAVED BIKE PATH 10CM BGL MANHOLE & COVER IN PAVED BIKE PATH Elevation 656.008 m Horz Datum NAD83 Latitude 53 16 14.25276 dms Longitude 110 01 03.44859 dms 2017-04-27T20:00:00 Found it GeoGuider BCP121 Lloydminster Posted: N 53° 16.238 W 110° 01.057 My GPSr: N 53° 16.237 W 110° 01.059 Email and numbers sent.

Dave had brought along a tool to pop off the lid so we could get the photo and numbers. We always carry a clipboard to jot down notes, and its amazing how many people assume we are on 'official business' because of that one little prop. At least one person walked past and nary a question. TFTCap! 2014-08-24T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP121 Lloydminster - The manhole cover took a little bit of searching to find as there was a fine layer of sand over the pathway that concealed it.

Thanks outforthehunt 2014-07-14T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP 121 Lloydminster Our goal this afternoon was to find this BCP. It was very hot out and initially we followed a nicely shaded path to the cap. The cap itself was in the sunshine and near a crosswalk. Several vehicles stopped wondering if we were going to cross the road... We waved them on and continued our search. After getting the dirt off the cover we attempted to get it off. Well...we definitely could have used a crowbar instead of the screwdriver we had brought along. It wouldn't budge for us. The CO has kindly let us log this even though we never did get the cover off. Thankyou Outforthehunt for the walk and another BCP smiley. 2014-07-10T20:00:00 Found it k5¢ents BCP121 Loydminister My first visit to this city of two provinces.

Surprisingly, considering the cap was found by Nicolo in September, well, lets's just say you couldn't possibly get any more dirt under that manhole cover without trying....I must have looked like a dog digging in the dirt baling the hole out, eventually getting down to the prize bone.

First time here for me. Drove into the nearby neighborhood and headed for ground zero. Saw the manhole, popped the lid, kicked the dirt and saw some brass, nice! 2010-09-05T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP121 Lloydminster Posted: N53° 16.238 W110° 01.057 GPSr: N53° 16.237 W110° 01.058 I can't believe I've lived here so long and never been to Lloydminster before... especially after having worked at a major heavy oil company. It was quite bizarre to see SK cars in homes on one side of Meridian Ave and AB cars on the other. Neither SH or I had found this cap before at the farthest eastern portion of our trip. After a short walk, a quick pry of a heavy cover and a good cleaning, we had our cap shot in hand. Time to head west. Thanks for the cap! 2010-09-05T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP121 - Lloydminster Finding the cap today was no problem at all, as the cap cover simply can't be missed. This is definitely a more difficult cap to do in the winter with the hard packed ice and snow associated with a location so close to the street. Simply a fine day in Lloydminster - TFTH and fun! 2010-07-27T20:00:00 Found it plmy BCP121 Lloydminster 2010-07-10T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP121 - Lloydminster Elev. 658 metres This was my last stop of an impromptu caching run today. Lots of driving, a handful of caps; a good day. There's no parking along 36th Street, so plan on making your way into the subdivision to the north or south and walking a bit to the cap. Ignore the round hole about the size of a mini manhole that's dead centre in the path. There's one on the north side of the road, and another on the south. I suspect they're the remnants of one of those "poles in the centre of the path". The manhole cover over the cap is on the east edge of the path, just before the concrete ramp at the road. It's in a low spot and looks like it tends to get buried in dirt and sand quite frequently. I only spotted it because the finger hole hadn't quite been filled in yet. You'll want some sort of tool to get the lid off; with all that sand and dirt clogging up the rim, it's a tight fit. The cap would be in very good shape except for a single large tool mark. Thanks for the brass cap. Now, a five hour drive home! 2010-05-24T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP121 Lloydminster Posted: N53° 16.238 W110° 01.057 GPSr: N53° 16.238 W110° 01.057 (+/- 3.7m) I had no trouble finding the manhole cover, as it was in the bike path and my GZ matched up perfectly with the posted coordinates. It's on the south side of the road in the NE corner of the asphalt path about 6 inches south of the cement ramp and six inches west of the grass. Getting the cover off was another matter. It wouldn't budge. Then I noticed a couple stems of grass growing from the dirt on the cover. This struck me as a bit odd, and when I poked it with my chisel, I discovered the clump of dirt was filling a thumb hole in the manhole cover. I used the chisel to pry the cover off and managed to expose the brass cap. Victory! 2010-04-23T20:00:00 Didn't find it DanOCan BCP121: Lloydminster I didn't hold out much hope for this one considering it hasn't been found since 2006. I found the bike path and there was a round hole in the middle of it that would be about the size of a brass cap manhole cover, but the cover was no where to be seen and there is no way the hole 10cm BGL as the description says. The hole was full of water (it was windy, cold and a little snowy today in Lloyd) but I was able to kick away at it with my shoe and confirm the hole isn't very deep. This one might have been destroyed, but I'll wait until some of the really serious brass cappers take a crack at it first. (This is assuming I was in the right spot on the south side of the road -- there was a similar looking hole in the bike path on the north side of the road, but the GPSr was definitely showing the cap on the south side. Didn't check the north side at all.) 2006-08-11T20:00:00 Found it Mr. Speedy BCP121 - Lloydminister One final Brass Cap before leaving the province. Had to do one more! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> That is also the last cache we did in Alberta. After lunchtime, went out for one more brass cap before leaving this province for good... Or is it for good? Who knows. The manhole cover was shut with all the dirt, but we cleaned it out good and took a picture of it. Thanks for another brass cap and a great game, outforthehunt.

I had heard through the grapevine that Table Mountain down in the Castle area was snow-free, and given we'd never hiked it before it sounded like a good target for a day hike! It sure felt like a loooong 2 hour drive from south Calgary down to the parking area (we even stayed over at my parent's place to make the drive more manageable!). It feels weird to drive that far and only end up on the front ranges! But we finally made it to the parking area at about 11:00 and started the hike. We prepped up with summer hikers because our trip beta said there wasn't much snow. Well, turns out there's still LOTS of snow!! We hit quite a bit on the trail up to the main gully. And once we reached the main gully there was so much snow that it actually made travel quite easy! We simply hiked straight up the middle of the gully thanks to all the hard-packed snow. A few unexpected post-holes made things interesting! Eventually we found a trail marker heading up to the left and decided to follow the trail up to the ridgetop. The trail soon led into a huge mass of snow about 150 meters below the ridge. Ugh. We opted instead to head straight up the scree to the ridge. Yikes, was that slope ever steep and loose! It was quite a wake-up call for us as it's been several months since we've hiked up steep scree piles! We slogged upward and eventually re-gained the trail. A very cool old dead tree provided a neat stopping spot for a quick lunch break. Further up the trail we were met with more snow on a steep slope. I kick-stepped some footholds into the snow and we progressed upward slowly until finally the snow gave out. A minute or two later and we were atop the ridge - whoo hoo! Not too far away is that super cool viewpoint (featured on the brass cap page) I've been ogling for quite some time. Let me tell you - it's even cooler in real life than it is in the photos! I set up GeoJamie22 on the point and I raced back and took a couple dozen photos. Ah, so cool! The wind started to pick up a little so I waved her over. The ridgewalk over to the summit was very straight forward from this point. There were some massive cornices that were easily avoided and we actually didn't meet any snow for about a kilometer or so. But we did eventually have to cross through a small snow-filled forest. The snow was supportive so it was simple. From there it was another 5 minutes or so to the summit - about 3 hours from the car. The cap was a quick find. Whoo hoo! A couple quick photos and we were off. The descent was a ton of fun. After finding TiE's cache on the way down, I spotted a nice patch of snow that I figured would make a great glissade. After carefully descending some steep scree, I positioned myself on the snow and WHOOSH down I went! I probably descended about 100 vertical meters in about 30 seconds! GeoJamie22 followed with a giant grin on her face! From there a couple more short bum-slides and we were back onto the trail home. It sure felt like spring this afternoon. But I've gotta say, there's still TONS of snow out there! I got back to the car and my poor summer hikers were soaked! The long drive home was made better by some good tunes on the radio and a stop for Longview beef jerky (the buffalo jerky is my new fave!). Off the top of my head the stats for this hike were somewhere in the neighbourhood of 12 km return, 900 m gain total which took about 4 and a quarter hours. A great day out - this cap was the highlight of the day from a geocaching perspective. Thanks for posting this one! 2016-08-19T20:00:00 Found it 4 the Fun of It BCP123 Table Mountain Had a great day to hike Table Mountain (not too hot, a nice light breeze that didn't turn into a strong wind). From the plateau, it was about 3.7km round-trip to visit the summit. Breathtaking views! 2015-03-31T20:00:00 Found it Ringrat BCP123 - Table Mountain A beautiful morning to start this hike but it was windy on the ridgeline and trying to snow when I arrived there. It was not too bad for all of the caching up on the ridge, but as I started my descent from the cap the weather gods decided that blowing graupel in my face at 60 km/h would be great. The cap itself was easily located and in excellent condition. 2014-08-10T20:00:00 Found it NancyLTG Found BCP123 on Table Mountain today with Maelich.

What a great hike! 2012-06-16T20:00:00 Write note Takin it Easy BCP123 Table Mountain The highlight of this year's year end camp at Camp Impeesa was hiking up Table Mountain (my second trip up the mountain). We started out with 7 cubs, 2 siblings and 9 adults on a windy morning which proved to be very gusty up top. In the end, I made it to the top with 2 determined cubs (one was littlest TiE... atta boy) and the other Evan (a first time mountain hiker... Wow!). Soon after we were joined by Mrs. TiE (her second visit as well) along with two other determined cubs (Michael and Ethan). The rest didn't make it all the way but put in a great effort and were provided with great views regardless of where they turned back. This was not the day to be venturing too close the edge for the perfect shot as I lost my footing a couple of times while trying to capture shots a ways back. The boys and I were on a mission to check out the cap and then plant a new 1st Priddis Cubs' Cache on the SE finger (soon to be published). All in all a great outing in an area that I liked so much I went up a second time and all thanks to the cap that originally brought me up there. Thanks OFTH! 2009-09-13T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP123 Table Mountain Posted N49° 21.752 W114° 15.544 GPSr N49° 21.752 W114° 15.545 What a memorable milestone cap for us today that marked our 200th brass cap find! The weather was perfect, there was not another person on the mountain today but us and Mrs. TiE accepted my challenge and came along. It was just a spectacular day to be out on the trails. The views all along the trail once you break out of the forest are super. BVPete was quite right in his comment about breaking out of your Zen like trance. That edge comes up at you pretty fast when you reach the table top. Once up top, the winds were very gentle and it was still quite warm. except for a very strong cold wind that kicked up at the Table Mountain geocache and was gone by the time we had signed the log. Typical for this area! The alpine area makes for a nice 2 km stroll to the cap from the upper cache. The cap site was as promised... 1 m from a sheer drop. The views were panoramic. It was fun to see Crowsnest Mountain off in the distance knowing I had been up there 2 weeks ago. Looks like I may have been looking over at Andronicus and he back at me as he did that climb today. Mrs. TiE did a great job today. I let her set the pace, as promised, and she had us up to the cap in 3 hours including stops for caching, photos and lunch. The trip down was about 1.5 hours. She was quite proud of herself and has this, Prairie Mountain and Moose Mountain as her accomplishments this year. I couldn't have had a better partner today. OFTH... thanks for publishing caps in such great places. We have had a blast finding them... especially the ones like these. 2009-08-29T20:00:00 Found it BearGPS BCP 123 N 49 21.752 W 114 15.544 Sure wouldn't want to take a photo from the North!! What a cliff edge. Beautiful August day for a climb!! 2009-08-29T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP123: Table Mountain This cap has been on my wish list ever since the first tme I saw the pictures of the cliff faces featured so prominently on the Brass Cap page. It was a good solid climb to get here, the GPSr showed a trip to the cap of 5.5km with slightly more than 800m of total elevation gain. BearGPS and I elected to not follow the route laid out on the Calgary -- oops, I mean Southern Alberta Trail Maps for the trip up as neither of them looked particularily promising. Instead we opted to follow the well marked path around the back and then up the side of the canyon wall. It was a good slog, but nothing as difficult as where the trail maps wants to take us,. Simply one of the best caps I have ever done. The hike had a little of everything: gentle forest walk, steep climbs over rocks, alpine meadows, a herd of mountain sheep and a coujple of other caches as well. Our round trip time was about 5.5 hours -- 3.5 hours up (with caching and lunch break) and just two hous down. A great late summer day for a mountain climb! Might just be the most scenic cap I have done yet, 2009-07-23T20:00:00 Found it Shigman BCP123 - Table Mountain What a fantastic hike up to this cap. bvpete and I were out for a great day of caching and hiking down south today with this cap being our main objective. I found it a difficult slog up to this cap but it was more than worth the effort. What an absoulutely beautiful location. Once we had gained the ridge the views were awe inspiring as were the wildflowers in the woods along the ridge. All in all a very good day out. Thanks for posting this cap OFTH! 2009-07-23T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP123 – Table Mountain N49° 21.753’ W114° 15.545’ My son Shigman and I set out from Cochrane about 6:30 AM and travelled south to Beaver Mines RA to climb Table Mountain. I knew that it was a special place due to ofth’s cache page photos and several logs written by other cachers. However, there is nothing like firsthand experience to fully appreciate the spectacular nature of this mountain top. We started our hike at about 9:30 AM and followed the well marked trail (as stated by van der Decken) to the summit ridge. At times this climb became very steep, but Shigman set a pace his old man could handle while the scenery unfolding around us took our minds of the work. Man, when you first break out over the ridge top you better quickly come out of your Zen like climbing trance or you will be taking the fast way down, maybe a big stop sign would be in order! After we had taken the cliff photos and enjoyed the awesome views, we turned east and continued along the ascending ridge top to the summit of the mountain. What a beautiful walk, especially the section where we were walking through a Larch forest, resplendent with Mountain Arnicas, Fleaband Daises and Mountain Chickweed. I thought I had expired, due to all that hard work, and was in what I want heaven to be! Shigman had gone on ahead and was almost at the mountain top while I was experiencing “Heaven” and I had to hurry right along to catch up. We found the cap and were glad that the wind was very light, it could be intimidating trying to get the cap photos while the normal gales, that are common around these parts, attempted to blow you over that cliff only a meter away. We then enjoyed our well deserved lunch before retracing our path back down the mountain. Just after starting down we were treated to a bunch of Rocky Mountain Sheep in their natural environment , much better than on the highway. We had passed an older (older even than me) couple on the way up over by the cliffs at the west end of the summit ridge. We discovered, on our return journey, that he was 81 and she was 78. How about that! Thank you very much for posting this cap outforthehunt, the journey here is one of the top hikes we have experienced and I am sure we will be back. I want more of that heavenly feeling! The cap numbers are hidden by a Mountain Arnica.

And it made us work for it! I left Calgary around 6:30am to meet up with dronnord in Pincher Creek. With the drive down taking over 2 hours and a preliminary cap out of the way, it was almost 10am by the time we hit the trail head. The parking lot was busy, and it was obvious that we were going to have company at times on our trek today. There's no doubt about it; it's quite the climb to get to this cap. After about 30 minutes climbing in aspen forest, we broke out into the open and started to get our first real views of what lay ahead. Up hill climbing. More up hill climbing. And still more... well, you get the idea!, I'm sure.The trail had been well marked by someone far more ambitious than myself, and there's little danger of loosing it even on bare rock. More than once one of us said "You've got to be kidding!", only to spot a trail marker soon after leading us up a less steep slope. Once you leave the stream, the real uphill slogging begins. It's not as bad as Baldy, but it's no less high a climb -- it just takes longer to get there. There are ample opportunities for experiencing views that take your breath away, as well as chances to get close to the edge and look straight down at a) where you've been or b) where you really, really don't want to go! (The edge views are strictly optional, but if you don't have a fear of heights, I highly recommend them.) There's some interesting geology to be seen on the way up. I wasn't expecting igneous rock in the mountains, and so it took me longer than it should have to identify the large quantities of basalt that line the trail in spots. There's one simply stunning waterfall over basalt bedrock that's quite something. And scattered along the ridge between the lesser summit and the cap are many pieces of oolitic limestone that are quite interesting to see. And water rippled sand and mudstones are present in many different spots along the hike. After finally reaching the lesser summit, it's a relatively easy trek across alpine meadows. The hills are gentle, but after the hike up, they seem worse than they are. The trail may look like it disappears in spots, but keeping moving forward and you'll pick it up around the next corrner. After a surprisingly final stroll through an alpine forest, you're greeted with the final ascent up an alpine hillside that today was covered in wildflowers in bloom. Though it was the hottest day of the year so far (30C) and the wind could only be described as breezy with the occasional gusty period, I actually thought I might end up making use of my sweater as we got closer to the top. I didn't, but the thought was there; even with today's relatively gentle winds, it was much cooler at the summit than we'd expected. The stovepipe that the cap is embedded in was easily visible as we made our final approach. As a surveyor, dronnord had some cutting comments about whoever had done the stamping. I took the opportunity to learn a few things about the numbers on the cap and was glad I did; I knew there had to be a system behind the numbers, but was surprised to discover that it was much simpler than I thought. The cap itself is in fine shape, and it's not all that close to the edge. I might have told a different story had it been windier at the summit today, but in a gentle breeze it's no problem to approach it. The views down to the scree slope on the north side of the mountain are pretty darned amazing. That's a very vertical drop off!

After gathering the requisite photos and after a short break for food, it was back on down the mountain. As I wasn't quite sure which scree slope was safe and which ended in a head wall, we elected to return the way we came. We certainly didn't break any land speed records, but we weren't out to. My knees survived the ascent and descent quite well; I'm totally sold on two trekking poles. outforthehunt, thanks for the mountain cap in a beautiful spot. It's definitely not a drive-up cap, and it was worth every single footstep on the way up and back. 2009-07-18T20:00:00 Found it dronnord BCP123 Table Mountain N 49 21.753 W 114 15.546 2234m. Wow...I breath evenly at 600m...Guess what was the hardest part of this Trek? About 30 celsius today.Just enough water to get me through thanks to VanDer Dekken.I will enclose only a few pictures but I took 95 so I will not send them all in...What a fabulous walk I was near sheer exhaustion a couple of times but my hardy companion allowed a few rest stops for the Old Guy That Rules. 2008-08-19T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP123 Table Mountain I had been to Table Mountain two years ago hoping to get the brass cap but had to abort the plan due to a rare event for this area, RAIN. Today we returned to complete are quest. We had just completed Carbondale lookout so we were warmed up for the hike. SH set a blistering pace for the first section and I was thankful that there was a cache he needed to find so I could get a break. We were soon at the top of the mountain and began our long gentle traverse to the brass cap. Why do they put these caps so close to the edge? Great views from the cap location. After a quick lunch we head back down the scree to the vehicle. A great hike, TFTH. 2008-08-19T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP123 - Table Mountain Our second stop of the day was a hike to the cap on Table Mountain. The weather for the hike was perfect - clear skies and relatively cooler temperatures. The views at the top were outstanding despite the smokey conditions in the area. Table Mountain is a very unique location with a really different look from other peaks in the Rockies. Our round trip track log showed a distance of just over 11 kilometres. The trip took 3 hours of moving time along with 45 minutes of stopped time for cache hunts, pictures and lunch at the top. TFTH and the pictures are on the way. 2005-05-30T20:00:00 Write note reastick CAR51: The first two pictures on the page are at BCP123 (Table Mountain). The third picture is at BCP124 (Raspberry Ridge). Both are great objectives. 2004-06-19T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP123 - Table Mountain The approach to this one is really easy--if you're starting from the Table Mountain Cache! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Just a nice easy walk over along a spectacular ridge. Great views of the windmills, and the mountains. The brass cap is well situated on the peak. Don't try to get a shot of it with the mountains in the background. That first step is a long one. We must have sat at the summit enjoying the view for a good 45 minutes or so. It was too nice a day to move on, but we did have some other caches to find before heading back north. Instead of retracing our steps, we scree skied down the gulley. I was a little concerned that we might run into a headwall on the way down, but no problems. 2004-06-19T20:00:00 Found it j2d2 BCP123 - Table Mountain What a fantastic hike... after replacing the Table Mountain cache GC6EB3, it was nice rolling stroll on the "table" of Table Mountain. It sure is an geologically interesting mountain, all sorts of different types and colours of rocks. Too bad I don't know anything about geology. We couldn't have picked a better day, absolutely perfect with no wind and clear skies. I think we all got fairly well fried by the sun. The cap was right on the edge of the cliff, sure would have been tough if the wind was howling. We saw a sheep up there as well, I do believe he was looking for the cap as well. We used the Reastick© Brand scree-jumping method of going down - tons-o-fun. Highly recommended cap, there was only a small smattering of swearing directed at OFTH this time.

You might not want to walk around this one on a windy day (I would assume windy to be the normal up here). We had just a slight breeze. It's only just over 4km from the start of the trail, but it's also 650 meters up. We had a fantastic day on Table Mountain.

Thanks.) 2019-10-12T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv I [FOUND] BCP125 Calgary (DND) We came down to Calgary to visit my daughter for the afternoon. Mrs. Gumby and our daughter decided that they wanted to do a little shopping which is my cue to do my own thing, I'm not a shopping fan. I decided to come here and walk around and find some caches. After parking here I started walking and spotted this cap. TFTBC 😁 2017-07-21T20:00:00 Found it nosweat6060 BCP125 Calgary (DND) [FOUND] I set up a little goal this morning of searching for 4 brass caps and 4 geocaches along the NW shore of the Glenmore reservoir. It was ideal weather, not too hot with a light breeze. Lots of activity on the water: sailboats, windsurfers, kayaks, canoes, racing hulls - and the picnickers were beginning to arrive - did I mention cyclists? Great to see. And at least one geocacher. Photos to come when I have access to my software. Thanks to ofth for getting this started, and to vdD for maintaining it! 2017-05-06T20:00:00 Found it sapien BCP125 Calgary (DND) N 50° 59.645 W 114° 08.581 Why can't all the brass caps be this easy? :-) It looks like GZ is in the middle of some sort of construction right now. Hopefully the cap isn't/wasn't affected by it. I guess I must have looked official enough that a couple of muggles asked me if I knew what was going on with the construction. Eek! I told them I did not know and they seemed satisfied with my answer and left me to my "official business" there. ;-) TFTBC. 2017-05-06T20:00:00 Found it geoCurious2 BCP125 - Calgary (DND) Our last cap of 4 in the group on the north shore of the Glenmore Reservoir. 2017-05-04T20:00:00 Found it Truly2 BCP125 Calgary DND Out for a few more caps this afternoon. This is a different one. It looks like parks have recently removed some bushes or trees. 2017-05-03T20:00:00 Found it Cachin8r BCP125 Calgary (DND) Eighth of 12 today, #865. This was one of those "alright, we'll do one more" moments because we had to go soon. After hitting up the other three caps currently in North Glenmore Park, there was no way we were just going to drive by this one. This was an interesting cap, both in its location and format of the survey cap itself. My heart sunk on approach when I noticed the ground was cleared and raked; fortunately this cap wasn't going anywhere! Thanks for a more interesting brass cap! -Cachin<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_8ball.gif" border="0" align="middle" />r 2017-04-29T20:00:00 Found it One Bad Ant BCP125 DND We had to dodge race runners, but found the cap easily.

Another quick find before last light this evening. Cap info sent to CO. Thanks for the caps! 2017-04-15T20:00:00 Found it behmSquad BCP125 Calgary (DND) With the pending GC changes, I set out to grab some caps with a new sense of urgency.

Thanks for the cap. 2016-12-28T20:00:00 Found it hunthikers BCP 125 Calgary (DND) Out for an afternoon geowalk with Foothills Scrambler and the geokids at N Glenmore park to enjoy some fresh air after a busy couple of days. It was sure windy when we got out the car but we managed to a good walk and a few caches but not so good on the brass caps in the area which were snowed in other than this one which was easier though being relatively new to brass caps I wasn't 100% sure was the right object.... TFTC ! 2016-05-26T20:00:00 Found it Kottbullar BCP125 Calgary ( DND ) I was in the area for a different cache and was pleasantly surprised to discover this brass cap in the vicinity.

No issues locating it! Answers sent to the C.O. Thanks for another Cap!! 2015-09-21T20:00:00 Found it M&BFranklin BCP 125 Calgary DND I never really understood brass cap caches, before but when I saw the one in Fish Creek pop up, I decided to look into them a little more to see what they were about. didn't seem to difficult. checked the cap map, saw there were four in fairly close proximity to me, so decided to head out to North Glenmore Park. BCP 125 was actually the fourth brass cap I attempted ( could not find BCP 213 for the life of me, and passerby's were starting to ask questions as to why I was digging in the long grass :-P ) the DND cache was quick and easy since it was more of a monument. which they had all been this easy, actually (ok maybe not that would take some of the fun out of it). tfth! 2015-06-05T20:00:00 Found it 2Sloths BCP125 Calgary (DND) N50° 59.645 W114° 08.580 Grabbed this cap during a bike ride around Glenmore reservoir.

Thanks for the cap. 2015-05-29T20:00:00 Found it Iron Phoenix BCP125 - Calgary (DND) I know I've "found" this one before, but looks like I forgot to log it!

We would see it all several times today, each from a slightly different angle, all fascinating. We can only say it looks like a whole lot of playground to Sharks!! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Mr Shark couldn't see the cap so he stepped onto a higher object for a better look around. We had to poke him with hiking poles to move so he (and we) could see the cap. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Nothing to do here except take photos and appreciate the views! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for the well chosen cap, outforthehunt! 2015-05-19T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP125 Calgary (DND) We were on a wonderful geocaching trip with the Black Sharks in North Glenmore Park.

Mr. Ge0Patr0l suggested we grab one last cache to give us a free Sunday. We quickly determined that this cap would be our best bet. We wandered towards GZ with flashlights in hand and Mr. Ge0Patr0l soon found the cap. We took our pictures and coordinates and were heading back to the truck before the cops from North Glenmore Park made their way over to us. TFTH!

We finished up and headed home when Mr Ge0Patr0l had a great idea, why not pickup a cache after midnight to get one done for the day. Didn't take long to spot with the flashlights but we did worry a bit the police were going to come as they were down the park a ways. No issues though.

From earlier pictures it seemed that this one would be on a pedestal as well. There still was quite a bit of snow in the area but I spotted a bit of the pedestal sticking out of the snow and quickly we had uncovered the cap. We took the needed pictures and numbers and moved on to the other caps in the park. Unfortunately we had to DNF those as they were BGL.

We were about five feet away. 2010-04-03T20:00:00 Found it Mom'sTheWord BCP125 Calgary (DND) N50° 59.645 W114° 08.580 Enjoyed our hike in the Weaselhead today. This area is blocked off, but cap is visible outside the fence. TFTC 2009-12-28T20:00:00 Found it j_peg BCP125 - Calgary (DND). Cap #26, find #507. Found the concrete block under this DND survey marker quickly, but it's surrounded by a five foot fence. Seems that the area is part of a weed control trial. So, instead of hopping over the fence, dusting the snow off of the marker and taking a picture, I elected not to disturb the area and took a picture of the monument/block with my GPSr hanging on the fence in the foreground. I hope that will suffice. Thanks for the brass! 2009-11-17T20:00:00 Found it Andronicus BCP125 Calgary-DND N50 59.645 W114 08.580 6m Accuracy GPSr: GlobalSat BT821 Super easy find, but it is currently in a fenced off area.

Thanks for the cap! 2016-08-02T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP127 Lethbridge Before leaving town and the gastronomical free-for-all we had enjoyed (over indulged groan), we were up for one more kick at the plate, so to speak. We met one of Lethbridge's locals at a cool little restaurant for lunch. Feeling satisfied, not stuffed, we headed out of town well prepared for more caching. Of course we couldn't pass up this scenic cap along the way! No digging needed here but Mrs Shark had to shift an obstacle larger and heavier than herself to find this cap--Mr Shark was standing on it and his "oops" was not convincing! The cap has a nice verdigris patina on it and is almost unmarred. The views of the trestle, river and bridge make this a very nice cap to visit. We were a little dismayed that there are no caps along our route until we reach Calgary. On the bright side, it's great that there is lots of room for future caps! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for being our tour guide to three nice spots in Lethbridge, outforthehunt.

The highway, which is mostly two lanes, was officially incorporated in 1932, mainly following a mid-19th century gold rush trail originally traced out by an engineer named Edgar Dewdney. It takes its name from the Crowsnest Pass, the route the highway takes when crossing the Continental Divide between B.C. and Alberta. The highway is designated as Highway 3 for its entire length. The cap is placed in close proximity to a plaque commemorating the completion of the Crowsnest Highway. The cap also has an exceptional view of the Lethbridge High Level Bridge. Posted before and after shots as a hailstorm engulfed me moments after arriving at the cap site.

This one was just off the road in a little parking lot so as I was driving by, around 8:50 PM I decided "Why not". An easy find ( even with the layer of snow ) with my headlights right in the area. 2004-10-27T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP127 Lethbridge river’s edge Last and final cap of the day. I like what you’ve done in the judicious location of the caps in Lethbridge. They make most of the caches here ‘two fors’.

Thanks. 2014-07-11T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP 128 Blackfalds We were out in Blackfalds this morning to find a cache and decided to stop for this one on our way home. We found a great place to park just off HWY 597 by the corner of 2A. It looked like it might have been a service road at one time. We walked the 100m from there to the survey stick and found an unusual BCP. It was the first of this kind for us. It was a bit tricky to get the top off and once we did we were confronted by another hole with a BCP at the bottom. It brought back memories of another cap we had done recently in Penhold with the Black Sharks...LOL...although not quite as deep. Thanks for the fun this morning and the smiley.

Mr Shark was loading the new cache into the GPSrs...or so Mrs Shark thought. When she turned around, though, the cap map was on the screen. "Oh look, there's a cap along the way!" So we stopped here first. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> This is our first cap of this type, but thanks to previous logs we were well prepared. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The guide post makes it obvious from the road and the large metal surface makes for a quick easy find even in tall grass. Getting the cover off took a moment of care to ensure safe fingers. Clearing the grime off the cover so we could see the numbers took another. The surface is scuffed and gouged, but the numbers are readable. Soon enough we were back on the road and off for a walk. Thanks for the new cap style (to us) and a quick diversion! 2013-06-24T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP128 Blackfalds We were in the area grabbing 100 caches on a Power Trail for The Cub, but my goal was 5 nearby brass caps. The rush hour traffic coming from the Joffre plant made our approach from the west quite difficult, but we waited it out and eventually parked beside the cap with the flashers on. We have seen a few of these lately, not as cool as brass. Thanks for the Cap. Thanks for the hunt.

As a result of the ten minute commute in either direction, Blackfalds is a "Community of Commuters." At present, over sixty-five per cent of the working population travel to Red Deer for employment. The remainder work in Blackfalds; the nearby petrochemical plants, or the Blindman Industrial Park. The Municipal Development Plan calls for Blackfalds to maintain a small town atmosphere while expanding the industrial and residential base and improving the quality of life for citizens: affordable housing, a quiet place to live, new recreational facilities, plus ample business opportunities and close proximity to major transportation routes. Blackfalds is a community of young families. Currently, eighty-five per cent of the population consists of people under the age of 40 years. In 1995, the town was known as the "Birth Capital of Alberta." Thirty-five per cent of the population is children. Some of these young families belong to the Blackfalds Soapbox Derby Association. Soapbox racing began in Blackfalds in 1997 with the Tress kids wanting something to do in the summer. The used all kinds of parts from pallets, bicycle wheels, shopping carts and were pushed across a finish line in front of town hall. Since then, Soapbox racing has evolved in Blackfalds. In 1998 the hill was introduced as well as a guideline for safe racing. The Derby is now held in conjunction with Blackfalds Days, so the kids can show off their cars in the parade. 1998 was the only year a “wiggle” start was used as drivers at a stand still had to wiggle their cars to gain momentum until gravity took over. In 1999 a starting ramp from scaffolding was erected but it required four hours to set up. That summer, the association built its own ramps with drop gates to start the races, which require only 20 minutes to set up and take down. In September of 1999 BFSBDA held the “Last Great Race of the Century” and a family dance at the arena. In 2000 the “Open Class” was put in place for cars with different wheels and body materials to give all racers an equal opportunity. We didn't spot any soapbox derby cars during our drive through Blackfalds, but we did find an interesting "cap". Photo has already been sent.

TFTC OFTH 2005-04-27T20:00:00 Found it Bush Creatures N52 22.202 W113 47.706 Well marked. No safe pull over at the cap. Park about a 150 m south on the east side of the secondary. You will need something stronger than my favorite pen to get into it. Whoops, snap! [This entry was edited by Bush Creatures on Wednesday, April 27, 2005 at 7:48:38 PM.] 2005-04-03T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP128 ( Blackfalds ) N52° 22.202 W113° 47.707 Found at 11:50 Fifth of six caps for the day ( with a coupla locationless thrown in ). This one was odd, off in a ditch in a man-hole cover. As XRN95 mentions in his log, the survey sign took a hit, probably from a farmer's vehicle as it went through the gate. I wasn't sure if the cap was under the man-hole cover until I put my compass over it - BANG, down it went! I found a pry-bar nearby and took the cover off. What's that strange roundish, creepy-looking thing in the middle ... I think that I'm sterile now. 2005-03-05T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP128-Blackfalds The benchmark post looks like it took a hit at some point. Last cap of the day, a great run in Red Deer! Thanks! 2005-03-05T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP128 Blackfalds I'd been here before and there was way too much ice around the stake. Now that we had the detector, a piece of cake.

Again quite a surprise as we had not done any research before this hastily set up trip with ManjaLou. As at the previous marker, we scanned the area for a marker post as we drove up, saw the super collossal cap and decided to leave all our tools in the vehicle--no need to dig this out or brush it off! It was great to get out into the country. We noticed a lot of pussywillows and catkins on the trees and geese and ducks in the sloughs. A horse and two gophers watched the proceedings as we dashed across the ditch to have a look at this marker and take photos. It likely looked pretty odd to any human onlookers, too, but hey, who cares. We're harmless! Thanks, outforthehunt, for showing us this special survey marker and for all the work you continue to put into this special cache! 2017-04-05T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP 129 Androssan We continued on down Hwy 16 till we reached the weigh scales where we were surprised to find another of the big white round caps.

It was a beautiful summer day - even though it was Nov 8th <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> and we enjoyed our longish drive very much. This was the first of 8 and they don't come any easier to find. We parked about 10 m away and I soon had my photos of this important survey base station.

TFTColumn. 2014-08-26T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP129 Androssan 8:20pm A large RV was parked close to the cap site and the "No Camping" sign and I'm sure the owner was dismayed to see us hop out of the car with 'the clipboard'. Headed over to get the digits before the light failed and were quickly on our way. As we were leaving we could see the RV owner coming outside to start up his generator. As for the cap - love these pedestal ones, easy find in the fading light, thanks! 2014-04-29T20:00:00 Found it k5¢ents BCP129 - Androssan Wow, that's the largest cap find I have made to date.

What I mean is there was easy parking, and then just a short saunter to the cap which looked like a white mini upright replica of the whale probe thingy in Star Trek IV (in my defence, I had to look that up). <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for the cap! 2010-11-12T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP129 Ardrossan Another cap that was not too too difficult to spot from a distance. The wind howling through this area today certainly had a bit of an edge to it as the sun started to get close to the horizon. Wrote down the particulars in order to log this cache and got out of here before the Peace Officers took heed that I was nearby. The compound to the north had 5 or 6 vehicles [parked inside the fence just waiting for someone to come along and take them out for the evening patrol.

No problem spotting this one, which is handy because the ditch between the parking spot and the "cap" was full of water so I had to resort to a bit of a distant shot -- not an issue for this one though! 2009-11-29T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP129 Ardrossan Posted N53° 34.129 W113° 02.805 GPSr N53° 34.130 W113° 02.806 Conveniently located behind the weigh station.

This was the second basenet cap I found today. A couple of horses in a nearby field came trotting over to the fence as I drove up and after I took the cap's picture I went over for a visit.

The find was very quick, especially since this one is on a pedestal a few inches above the ground. I took pics of the other nearby cap along the fenceline as well, just to make sure I was gathering all the info I needed while on site. It was a moody day weather-wise, with showers on and off throughout the day, but I think that helped to add some drama to the context shot.

As soon as YFB gets off his lazy ass and sends OFB the pictures they'll be uploaded. Foster Bros 2010-08-14T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP131: Waterton Park The great thing about having a serious brass capper (and previous finder of this cap) with me on this road trip was he was able to tell me which of these two very close caps was the correct one. I snapped photos of both, mainly because the "wrong" cap is quite interesting. Nice views from here -- enough of a view that we could see it looked like we would hit rain on our trip to the border. 2010-08-05T20:00:00 Found it nt210 BCP131 Waterton N49 07.932 W113 51.193 1345 metres 2010-07-27T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP131 Waterton Park We were in the park for a couple of days.

This was a quick & easy cap, park the car, walk up the small roadside hill & grab the goods, but wait the fact there were two caps in such close proximity to one another caused me a wee bit of confusion, so I made sure by grabbing photos of both.

Thanks for the cap! 2009-05-23T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP131 - Waterton Park Elev. 1345 metres Though the sun was getting very close to the western horizon, I pressed on from Pincher Creek to see if I could snag this cap before returning home. The two caps further south in the park would definitely have to wait for another day, but I thought this one (and the two over by Cardston) might be possible before the sun set. This one couldn't have been easier; park, short walk, cap visible and clean. The cap's surface is a bit rough, but I think that's just the way is was manufactured, and not weathering or damage. A sand casting perhaps? In any case, the views from this cap (and on the drive down) are [i]wonderful[/i] and well worth the trip. And since I have another two caps in the park still to get, I have a reason to make a return trip! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for the cap that was well worth the drive; I expect the other two will be even more spectacular. 2008-10-09T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP131 Waterton Park - N49° 07.933’ W113° 51.192’ (my GPSr).

My Elevation: 993 m( This cap was actually my first attempt of the day, and I was able to find a tell-tale divot in the ground covered up with leaves on the[b]other[/b] side of a fence. To make things more complicated, the area on the other side of the fence was fenced off too with a couple of workers doing their thing. I was quite sure I'd found the right place but was also sure it would be tough to get to with so much activity around. I resolved to leave this one for the end of the day. On my way out of town at the end of the day, sure enough the workers were gone but I found the[b]entire[/b] area around the cap seemed fenced off all the way to the ball diamond. What to do? After scanning the area I saw the answer: the square hole cut into the back of the ball diamond fence would allow me to get to the cap. It was a like a cap puzzle! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Do I get extra difficulty points for this? <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for the cap! 2013-07-06T20:00:00 Found it Foster Bros BCP132 - Hinton Recreation Center I was in the area waiting for a tire to be fixed and am always up for another quick cap find.

In fact, it was the finish line (?) of a triathlon in progress and was a bustling hub of activity. I bailed on this one, thinking I'd return at the end of the day.

The playing fields were unoccupied and the bike area nearby only had two riders in it. Last fall's find meant that the cap was still a fairly easy find. The hole was full of dead leaves, but it was still pretty obviously a hole. After cleaning them out and removing just a bit of dirt, the cap was ready for its picture. The cap is a bit battered as you might expect for a buried urban cap, but all the digits are still visible. Before leaving, I added a bit of flagging on the nearby fence post; with any luck it'll still be there even if the hole gets filled in.

A vehicle parked in the nearby field approach made us wonder if we might meet fellow cachers here, but it was two ladies who were bottle picking. They had left enough room so we parked beside their vehicle. One had geocached for a year with a family member and was curious about brass caps. She asked if we'd found it and Mrs Shark pointed it out to her. Good thing the area wasn't snow covered or it might have been difficult for her to pick out as we were back to our vehicles by then! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> It was great to see our second of this type and a surprise as we had not had a chance to do our usual research and look at pictures!

We had never seen anything like this before and no digging or any other antics were required to expose them. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> We have always enjoyed the places the BCPs take us too and the variety of types we have found.

TFTC OFTH 2010-11-28T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP133 Sherwood Park Posted N53 33.670 W113 11.835 My GPSr N53 33.672 W113 11.837 Believe it or don't, this was my second trip to this one. During my first visit, yesterday, I was befuddled. Being kind of new at this, I was under the impression that there was supposed to be a "cap" somewhere so, ignoring the obvious, I moved some snow to start finding a cap. I guess I was determined to make this is a challenge. Nothing. I resigned myself to returning again when the snow had gone. Back home, I did my homework by looking up past logs and realized I'd found all that there was to be found in the first place ("For all you kids out there, note the incorrect order of the tasks - doing things in the correct order would have saved a trip!" - um, thanks Mr. Cherry). This visit was much more pleasant because I was sure what I was looking for and I knew what I was looking for wasn't going anywhere! Thanks for the cap! 2010-11-12T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP133 Sherwood Park This one may have been easy to spot but I almost missed it on account I was enjoying the country drive just a little too much.

I partially bent my lifting tool and was probably lucky to not crush a finger. Like a past finder, I stuck my phone in and got a picture(ish) of the cap. For this one I will call that good, thanks! 2017-06-02T20:00:00 Found it mikefromcanmore BCP 134 Lundbreck (FOUND). Headed out to Waterton for some early season hiking in the mountains. Made a quick stop here. Took a bit to get the heavy cover off and then were surprised to discover the unusual cap underneath. The dear head laying near GZ only added to the challenge. 2017-04-23T20:00:00 Found it Ringrat BCP134 Lundbreck One final stop for the night while on my way back towards home. I parked in a weird place and then wandered over. Getting the cover off took a minute or too and then I had to find some light. I poked and stirred before deciding that I must be looking at the right thing. This is probably my last BCP before the logging change, unfortunately! I'll have to get used to the writing notes technique. Thanks! 2017-04-04T20:00:00 Found it nosweat6060 BCP134 Lundbreck I was worried as I approached the town that the Cap area would be covered with fresh snow but it had melted where I needed it and I had no difficulty removing the manhole cover. I was able to take a photo (with the flash on).

This time it gave presented me with a long scenic route off the highway and south of Lundbrook until it took me, back to the highway. Sheesh. Oh, well, I got see ALL of Lundbrook this way. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Once close I parked safe, made my way over through the ditch and used a broken lathe that was lying nearby to pry open the cover to reveal the cap inside (which you can't see in the photo). Because of the extreme dynamic range of light in photo, I've lightened the dark hole and darkened the face of my GPSr so you can see both. It's a haphazard job of doing both, but gets the job done.

Good thing this wasn't frozen shut. 2013-06-18T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP134 Lundbreck So, after almost losing a finger nail yesterday in Lethbridge trying to get at this kind of cap, I discovered that using two screw drivers simultaneously works very well. I couldn't even see to the bottom of the hole but the flash on the camera exposed what was there. Thanks for the hunt. Thanks for the cap.

This one was easy enough to spot with the ground post in full view. tfth 2010-06-30T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP134 Lundbreck N 49 35.296 W 114 09.710 The hamlet of Lundreck is not located on Highway 3, the heavily traveled Crowsnest Highway. It‘s also not on the widely used scenic Highway 22, the designated “Cowboy Trail”. Since it is off the beaten track, travelers are less likely to stop into the community. However, the natural marvels that encircle Lundbreck attract a modest amount of tourists and travelers into the hamlet. Lundbreck’s main advantage is that it lies between some of the most magnificent geographical features of southern Alberta. To the east lie the Livingstone Mountain Range, the Crowsnest River, Oldman River, Castle River and to the east -- Lundbreck Falls. Lundbreck is surrounded by an abundant amount of provincial parks, historical sites, recreational areas and camping grounds. The most popular sites include Lundbreck Provincial Park & Recreational Area, Frank Slide Provincial Historic Site, Leitch Collieries Provincial Historic Site, Castle Falls Forestry Provincial Recreation Area, and Maycroft Provincial Park. As such, the area is a prominent fishing, hiking, hunting, and camping destination. Lundbreck’s main street is a carbon copy of the typical rural Alberta community. The most interesting spot was a historic two-story outhouse that was left standing after the Windsor Hotel burned in 1963. Local residents saw it as an embarrassing eyesore and not as a historical point of interest. As a result, the landmark now resides in Calgary’s Heritage Park and stands behind the Wainright Hotel. Lundbreck was founded in 1903 by Peter Lund and John Breckenridge, who began digging low grade coal from a site that is now Lundbreck’s sports grounds. The name Lundbreck was derived from combining the beginnings of both individuals’ last names and became official in 1906 with the naming of the Post Office. From 1903 onward, the coal industry expanded. Lundbreck evolved to meet the needs of the expanding economy with the addition of a local business core and community involvement. 1906 brought the Windsor Hotel, followed by a pharmacy (1907), church (1908), and school (1910). The Lund and Breckenridge Coal Company closed in 1912 after struggling through the 1911 coal strike. It is to the credit of Lundbreck’s founding pioneers that the settlement didn’t collapse after the mines left. Local ranchers and the flourmill built by the Cowley Doukhobor commune helped stabilize Lundbreck. Not much is left of the founding coal industry. Today the hamlet’s main industry is manufacturing with the South West Concrete plant acting as Lundbreck’s economic cornerstone, Ron McCulloch Sand & Gravel, and Glen Gravel & Transit Mix. The secondary industry is business and community services with the majority of main street businesses fitting into this category. Our visit to Lundbreck was short and sweet - just long enough to find the listed brass cap! After gathering the necessary information to log the not too distant Lundbreck Falls Earthcache, we headed west. Thanks to Mrs. GeoKs' lack of attention, we were heading the wrong way, so as soon as practicable, we turned around and headed back towards Lundbreck, where we discovered the cap's hiding spot without difficulty. Email has been sent with required photograph. Thanks for the cap! 2010-06-15T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP134 Lundbreck This was the last cap/cache of the day and one of the easiest.

Mrs BVPete and I were camping at Waterton over the Thanksgiving weekend (plus a few extra days) and decided to take a day trip to the Frank Slide.

We almost missed this one but I just happeded to be looking at my GPSr, spotted it, and did a hard left turn. A 30 meter or so walk and the cap was mine! 2005-08-28T20:00:00 Found it Bush Creatures BCP134 Lundbreck N49 35.295 W 114 09.710 2005-08-07T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP134 N49 35.296 W114 09.710 We found it on a tour of the Crowsnest. We'll send the numbers via e-mail. 2005-05-21T20:00:00 Found it Smrt_geer BCP134 Lundbreck No problems finding this one. Had the trusty tire iron to take off the manhole cover. Found a lot of oily mud, and a survey pin. I elected to not go digging in the mud, trusting the cap was there. Pic is attached. Thanks! 2005-01-31T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP134 Lundbreck This one kinda had us puzzled until someone showed up and said this was it. Apparently the cap had been moved slightly when a cable was being buried here. Not to worry though, the coords are still bang on. Thanks 2005-01-31T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP134-Lundbreck First cap of the day, although not your typical cap. Cap was zero'd out!! Alternating between 0 and 1M. As Ting and I were inspecting the cap, a gentleman pulled up, got out of his truck and asked if we were looking for the bench mark. He said he hadnt seen it in a long time, we showed it too him and he said "yeah thats it". Thanks!! 2004-09-17T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP134 - Lundbreck Sometimes, it's hard to win at this cache game. My geobuddy had found the cap a few weeks ago. But when I got there, I got the right spot, but neither of us could open the little manhole - I betcha someone noticed the previous finders, and decided to weld the sucker shut or something (grin). Sigh! 2004-06-19T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP134 - Lundbreck Our first stop on a grand tour of southern Alberta. A fairly early start to the day, but somehow I suspect we'll need all the daylight we can get today. 2004-06-19T20:00:00 Found it j2d2 BCP134 - Lundbreck We were planning on doing a southern Alberta tour, and amazingly, this cap showed up a couple of days ago. What a coincidence! Well, it isn't exactly a cap but a HPN pin. Nice quick stop, great start to the day....

Took a few minutes of searching but eventually my brother in law made the find a stride or two in from the gravel edge of the parking lot. {FOUND} 2017-04-04T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv I found BCP135 Herbert Lake. We were visiting our daughter in Vancouver and were driving back to Red Deer when I mentioned that I wanted make a slight detour for this cap. I knew I would be dealing with snow but I didn't think it would be as much as I did. We parked at the barricades about 60m. from the cap, Mrs. Gumby figured I was nuts to think about finding this one. There was a well beaten path that went from parking to the lake. I decided to take a chance and really had to watch my step because you could see where people had fell down through the snow. I made it along the path and luckily it passed about 5m from the cap site. When I got there I tested each step and carefully got off the path (although I did fall through once). I did a couple swipes with my metal detector and got a positive sound. There was a small tree there that I could only see the top and I stabbed my trekking pole through the snow so I knew about how far down the cap was. I started to dig and this was the time that Mrs. Gumby saw that it was safe so she came down the path. She was laughing at me digging through the snow in my shorts and running shoes. She also laughed at how small my shovel was, I took my better one out just before we left for Vancouver. I was persistent though, I dug some and then checked and when I got the positive sound, I kept digging. After a short time I had dug through the almost waist deep snow to hit the ground, cleaned the snow from where I was getting the readings and it revealed the really nice cap. Mrs. Gumby snapped a couple of pics of me then headed back to the car. When I got back she said how impressed she was that I was able to find it. Thanks for a great cap, it was fun to dig this one up and we had a lot of laughs.

It's at the top of the island's rise about 2.5 metres north of the gravel and about 3 metres east of the southern most evergreen. Cap is in good shape.

A great weekend it was for us. My son won the gold medal at the provincial track and field championships in the 3000m and we managed to grab 46 caps along the way along with some caches. This one was in a nice quiet spot just before the highway joins up with the TCH. A nice photo spot at the lake. Thanks for the cap. 2008-11-01T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP135 Herbert Lake N51° 27.701’ W116° 13.460’ Mrs BVPete and I were on a little trip up the Banff-Jasper Hwy today and stopped to find this brass cap. This is a cap in a spectacular setting which is hard to beat, except perhaps by the next one up the road! I believe Herbert Lake is famous for reflection photos. I have posted one I took a few years ago as the sun was in the wrong place for good photos at the time we were there today. Thanks for picking this cap to publish ofth, a beautiful place indeed. 2008-10-08T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP135 - Herbert Lake Alt. 1630 metres This cap is a bit odd. It is closest to the posted coordinates and its location matches the hint information. However, the numbers have been double stamped with different numbers (making some of the digits hard to read), and the BM designation has been ground off. Other than that it's in very good shape. I came prepared with the whole cap searching kit; compass, trowel, screwdriver, etc., but it wasn't needed as the cap is slightly above ground level and not obscured by vegetation at this time of year. or is it... [b]N 51° 27.713 W 116° 13.453[/b] Alt. 1631 metres This cap is about 24 metres away from the first. It is cemented in a boulder or outcropping of bedrock that rises above ground level. Its BM designation is intact and the cap is in excellent shape. The next day... I checked the database this morning and the first cap is indeed the one listed. The second one doesn't show up in the listing at all. Since neither cap was stamped with Alberta Survey Control, I wouldn't have been entirely surprised if neither one had shown up in my search. Maybe they took over an old Geodetic Survey marker? In any case, thanks for the cap(s) and the mystery!

Temple (11,626 ft). It is one of the most beautiful and photographed areas in the Banff National Park. The Lake takes its name from Henry Howard Molyneux Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon (24 June 1831 - 29 June 1890), was an English politician and a leading member of the Conservative Party. He was the brother of Auberon Herbert and father of Aubrey Herbert. Herbert became the Earl of Carnarvon on the death of his father Henry, in 1849. After taking his degree at Oxford, he began to play a prominent role in the House of Lords. In 1858, he was Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, and in 1866 secretary of state. In 1867 he introduced the British North America Act, which conferred self-government on Canada. Later that year, he resigned over Benjamin Disraeli's Reform Bill, along with Lord Cranborne and Jonathan Peel. Resuming office in 1874, he endeavoured to confer self-government on South Africa as he had on Canada, but the times were not ripe. He addressed the concept of Imperialism in Africa many times while holding the title. In 1878 he resigned in opposition to Lord Beaconsfield's policy on the Eastern Question; but on his party's return to power in 1885 he became Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. His short period of office, memorable for a conflict on a question of personal veracity between himself and Charles Stewart Parnell as to his negotiations with the latter in respect of Home Rule, was terminated by another premature resignation. He never returned to office. Carnarvon was regarded as a highly cultured man. He was high steward of Oxford University, and president of the Society of Antiquaries. He was a prominent freemason, having been initiated in the 'Westminster and Keystone Lodge', and with his permission a number of subsequently founded lodges bore his name in their titles. The cap is a Canadian geodetic marker which is in good condition and stands above surrounding grade.

Seems like this one is hell bent of being covered. I got to the marker post and looked for a sign of where the cap might be. I knew it was fairly close to the post so I decided to dig. I could tell that some ground was much softer than the rest..hmm..I kept diggin in the soft stuff and then dink, dink. The cap was probably 8-10 inches under the ground. I had a feeling that the cap would fill in again so I grabbed a wooden stake, placed it directly over the cap and filled the hole in to hold the stake. It should be an easy find with a bit of digging. Thanks, this one was fun!! 2005-08-27T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP135 - Herbert Lake N51 27.700 W116 13.457 A tricky find with a vehicle parked practically on top of the cap.

TFTBC!!!! Ok, this was our second attempt at this one. The first time we came, we were under prepared! Today, with heavy equipment in hand, we made the find....about 60cm below ground level.....digging required! 2015-07-24T20:00:00 Didn't find it JnJ H BCP136 East Coulee Well, I knew that it was going to be a bit of a long shot to get this cap, but since I was in the area, picking up the other nearby caps and Earthcaches, I decided to have a go. On walking to the Brass Cap site I had OFTH’s advice running in my head, a good cap hunting kit should contain... Well, I didn’t have any of the recommended items. I did come prepared with what I thought that I would need, but my kit didn’t look much like his suggestion. I have no metal detector and my compass doesn’t spin when the cap is buried 14 inches. I came armed with all the posted context shots to work out, hopefully, where to dig, a gallon of water since the last couple visitors commented on how hard the ground was, digging implements, a hammer and a tire iron. On the tire iron, sometimes I find it easier to slide a thin metal object deep into the dirt to save me digging further down. I have found something like this (usually a long metal letter opener) to be really effective in locating caps that are buried. At GZ I found a small hole more or less exactly where the context photos indicate the cap to be the ground was pretty wet from recent rain and the hole was full of water. I found the plastic cup mentioned for bailing (it was mostly buried too!) and so after unearthing it, I used it to bail out the hole. I then proceeded to widen and deepen the hole significantly. The ground started to get harder as I went further down and so I ended up using most of my gallon of water to make the digging easier. I tried the tire iron to check for a cap anywhere within about 6 inches of my hole, also without success. It turns out that a good cap hunting kit probably should also contain a nice dictionary of expletives too. No joy for me today. I might have another go if/when I am in the area again. It was still a fun hunt. Good luck to the next person to try this one. I’m sure with a metal detector and lots of water to soften up the ground, it shouldn’t be too bad. 2015-06-08T20:00:00 Didn't find it Coolcat21 BCP136 – East Coulee I knew full well that I may be in for a battle when I parked and made my way over to this one. And in true form, the cap offered the challenge I expected. There was no evidence whatsoever of there being a hole when I arrived, so I knew the cap would be down 14 or so inches I'd seen in vdD's context photo. I searched around with the metal detector and the only only got one indicator beep: the cap must be there. Now's comes the bad news. I'd read vdD's log about using a spade to get to the cap and I'd made a mental note to throw one in the car before I left on my trip, but I didn't actually DO it. So after a few gouging attempts in the baked hard soil with my hand-held garden trowel, I was getting nowhere slowly, so I decided not to spend what would have been the rest of the day in this spot. Cap: 1 CC21: 0 today. But I may just be back to pounce on this one again. 2015-05-07T20:00:00 Didn't find it ChristopherRobin1431 This cache was BCP136. We found a survey stake but could not find the cap. We think the ground may have been washed over top of it and therefore burying it. Maybe if we had a metal detector we could locate it, however this attempt was a DNF. We planned our trip to Drumheller to get the BAD Legacy Trail, and surrounding caches late last year. We would give ourselves four days to get as many of the caches along the trail as we could. We started May 7th and came back the 10th. The weather was hot with hardly any rain (except for one shower that gave an amazing and vibrant double rainbow), and the scenery was breathtaking. We saw all kinds of wildlife, including a moose! Back in March at the CARW2015 event we won a trackable, and we ended up picking a dinosaur one, knowing it would be perfect for the trip, and for being our first TB to be set free to travel the world! Buddy the Brachiosaurus (TB6HXA6) wants to visit dinosaur museums all over the world, so we started him off by taking him to the Royal Tyrrell Museum. We hope he continues his travels :) This trip made us drive almost 900 kilometers and spend $100 in gas, but it was well worth it in the end. We got 186 caches!! Thank you to all the cache owners for the awesome caches! :) 2012-04-10T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP136 East Coulee.

Someone had dug it out previously, maybe during the Three Hills Mega, but it had partially filled back in again with mud and water.

Nice day regardless. tfth 2011-05-21T20:00:00 Found it plmy BCP136 East Coulee 2010-10-30T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP136 East Coulee Posted: N51° 19.905 W112° 28.337 It was after dark, but I had no problem finding the guard post with the bright white bailing cup on top (thank goodness). Scooped out the water and muck, brushed off the cap with my jacket sleeve, noted the numbers, and snapped a picture. Didn't have time to record my own coordinates as we were on our way to the Atlas Coal Mine's Haunted Halloween event. Thanks for the cap! 2010-10-15T20:00:00 Found it rat root BCP 136 East coulee Great area for a cap. 2010-09-24T20:00:00 Found it narloth BCP136 - East Coulee We found the survey post easy enough, but no depression or obvious location of the cap was evident. The bailing bucket left on the survey post indicated that some digging would be in order. Reading previous logs we knew to dig about 12 inches down and thanks to the hint we knew approximately where to dig. After some serious digging and probing with the screwdriver we heard a thunk and aha the cap was revealed. I suspect with the next rain all our hard work of digging will be covered up with mud and the next cacher will have to go through the process all over again. TFTBC!! 2010-09-24T20:00:00 Found it Losmir BCP136 - East Coulee Location: N51 19.905 W112 28.339 Elevation: 679m Getting to the general area of the cap is easy enough, but getting at the cap is another matter. I can confirm that this cap gets completely covered on a regular basis. Narloth and I found the survey post easy enough... but that was where easy ended. There was no depression at all and only the faintest high point where the last cacher must have piled the sandy soil. We started the usual probing for the cap by making a grid in the suspected area - nothing. Following the cap hint, we started to dig (luckily we brought a trowel) in the suspected area of the cap. We got down about eight inches before starting to question our location. Luckily some previous logs mentioned that the cap is about 12" below ground level, so we continued digging. We knew that we were in the right area because the soil was fairly easy to dig through. A quick probe with the screwdriver confirmed that we were in the right spot. The cap was surprisingly beat up for a cap that is covered most of the time. I must say that that was the most digging we have ever had to do to find a cap and the find was quite satisfying. If you are the next cacher looking for this cap, it is located in line between the survey marker and the structure on the southern hilltop. We found that the distance from the survey marker in the hint is pretty accurate. TFTBC!! 2010-09-06T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP136 - EastCoulee Does this one get covered everytime it rains? I had to dig it out again! Thank goodness for the marker. TFTH 2010-06-08T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP136 East Coulee I had to dig through a lot of mud to get to this one.

I had nothing to bail it out with. I called over to Mrs. TiE and she came up empty. Darn! thne I looked at the marker post and there was a bailer sitting right on the post. Thanks you... thank you... That really came in handy and was greatly appreciated. I bailed out the water then the wet clay. I dug down a little deeper and there was the shiny cap. That's almost as much work as I had to do on the Pearce Estate cap in the winter (well not quite). Well that caps our caps on this badlands caching expedition. Thanks OFTH! 2009-06-25T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP136 East Coulee N51° 19.905’ W112° 28.335’ Van der Decken and I proceeded south to East Coulee after finding the elusive BCP302 in order that I could make my second attempt to find this cache. I, of course knew where it was but a foot of solid ice had defeated me on my previous try. This time the hole was completely full of wet, sloppy muck, even though everything else around here was bone dry (why are bones dry anyway?). However, some previous cacher had left a perfect summer digging / baling tool in the hole so, I made quick work of exposing and cleaning the cap. Bless you previous cacher! Van der Decken had spotted some interesting old foundation at the foot of the nearby steep slope, so we went to investigate. As we walked he kept warning me about Prickly Pear Cactus, you know – watch out, don’t step there, if you don’t kneel there you will never walk again – that sort of thing. I must need a lot watching as I still managed to suffer some minor impalements in my attempt to get a cactus photo. I am lucky he was there or I might have become permanently captured by the pointy, prickly-pears spears and learned exactly where the term “bone dry” comes from. Thanks van der Decken! Thanks for posted this cap ofth, I enjoyed the search and managed to keep my white T-shirt clean – not bad. A Prickly-pear Cactus flower hides the numbers in the cap shot. 2009-05-13T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP136 East Coulee At some point you have to pay for the easier caps with one like this which takes much more effort to uncover. It wasn't hard to figure out where the cap was by any means with the marker pole visible from a good distance away, but the hole with the cap in was overflowing with muddy water. After bailing the water out, it was time to bail the muddy clay out of the hole, eventually getting down to the cap which needed a good clean up & then on to the pics. That was fun.

We bailed with our feet and then finally UK Can reached down into the silt. Ugh. Not sure of my coordinates as I only took a context shot and failed on the closeup. EDIT: I lied -- looked a couple pictures further in on the memory card from my camera and found a shot that shows my coordinates. 2008-10-13T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP136 East Coulee This cap is down about 40 cm. I had to excavate 30 cm of sand and ice water with my hand to be able to read the cap. This one will be hard to get in a month. TFTC. 2008-07-13T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP136 - East Coulee Alt. 688 metres I ended up digging down 14 inches to uncover this one. This is the first cap that I had to break out the shovel to find. I wonder if it was at ground level when it was originally placed? Thanks for the cap! 2006-09-22T20:00:00 Found it hurley_108 BCP136: East Coulee Had to run back to the car for the shovel, but found it in the end. Might not have if previous finders' efforts hadn't left a depression in the surface for water to collect in. 2006-08-18T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP136 East Coulee Second time lucky. We attempted this cap early in the year and the hole was filled with ice. Well today the hole was filled with mud. Much easier after slopping out the muck. 2006-07-21T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP136 East Coulee.

Today all the brass caps in the valley were covered in ice. This one must of had a 20 cm. of ice, for we chipped away a least 19 cm.

Geo BCP136 - East Coulee I arrived at this one hoping for an easy find. I got to the spot, looked, and suddenly remembered nicolo's log from a week or so ago. Uh-oh. Completely full of water again. I did my best to bail the water out using a ziplock bag (I think I left the baggie at the cap. Ooops.) and finally managed to expose the cap. It took a while to get the numbers off of it, but I managed eventually. Thanks for the cap! 2005-06-11T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP136 ( East Coulee) N51° 19.905 W112° 28.337 The last time that ibycus, XRN95 and I were here we DNF'd and now I know why, that sucker is down low! balloonatic was kind enough to leave the cap exposed and there was even a wooden stake in it. Unfortunately, Mother Nature wasn't so nice as the hole was completely covered with water!!! I was able to feel the cap with the wooden stake but didn't think that that was enough for OFTH. I had my garden spade with me so bailed out as much water as I could, still couldn't see the cap. Then I dug lower and wider, hoping to get the water level to drop so the cap could be exposed, that worked. However, the cap was so muddy that all you can see is a brown cap ... THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH! 2005-04-29T20:00:00 Found it balloonatic BCP136 East Coulee Was in East Coulee doing Sage Advice and nailed this one. Six inches of mud later I found the cap. 2004-11-07T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP136 East Coulee N51º 19.897 W112º 28.349 Elevation:667m It was great to get back out to my old stompin’ grounds. We didn’t often come this far east, it was the town dump back in the mid 1900’s. Sure is all nice and clean and pristine now. Cap was about 6 inches below grade, I almost gave up on it but the Silva kept saying deeper, deeper. There was a fair amount of discrepancy between the posted coordinates and what the GPSr was reading at the cap.

Just had to cross the border to get a cache in NWT while I was here. 4 of 4 for the day. TFTH 2012-07-12T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP137 Steen River We enjoyed the drive up here mainly because the highway remained open and that despite the fact the wild fires were certainly still burning in the area as we had witnessed plenty of dense smoke and several fires burning just off the highway in the trees. This made for something of a surreal drive, but a very memorable one to be sure. This is one of the older caps in the database but seems to be gaining in popularity as time wears on. Will anyone else take on the norhtern adventuree...time will tell, but for my money it's well worth the effort of getting here. Oh yeah, the cap was an easy find once you do get up this way. TFTCap ofth 2012-07-12T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP137 - Steen River When I first heard of the Steen River cap I thought of a location far closer to the actual hamlet site and not the boundary between Alberta and the Territories along Highway 35. So as our short northern adventure approached I realized where the actual cap was located - simply a great spot! We made quick work of the cap find and another nearby cache, before doing the picture thing with the tourist signs on the east side of Highway 35 - TFTH and fun on the border! 2012-07-10T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP137 Steen River Posted: N59° 59.979 W116° 59.020 GPSr: N59° 59.978 W116° 59.023 Another border experience for the TiEs. On our way up Hwy 35 we ran into a barricade where the guard at the barricade told us that he was told to stop cars from going through but the last man down from the north told him it was clear so he told us to drive through. What we didn’t know was that there were a few more wildfires burning along the Upper Hay River that had actually closed Hwy 35 the previous day stranding motorists north of the fire before opening in the morning. It turned out that Hwy 35 was ordered closed again and we had been let through anyways. It was a very quiet drive all the way to Steen River. We did pass by the active fire that was a couple of hundred metres from the highway with helicopters aerially bombing the fire. We then hit another barricade where the man said we were good to go through. He didn’t say he was preventing traffic from going the other way. Other than that, we arrived at the border elated to finally cross the 60th parallel. We took several photos and then walked back to the cap south of the border. The cap was sunk in a concrete pad full of a layer of muck and water. After a thorough cleaning, I spied the cap and grabbed the money shot. We continued north taking in the great waterfalls along the Hay River (a must stop at Alexandria and Louise Falls). From there we went to Hay River and found the most northerly cache before heading back to High Level. We started noticing more and more smoke in the air. We arrived back at the second barricade to a line of traffic. The highway was closed. We were told it could be anywhere from 0 to 36 hours before we could be let through. There was no viable alternative but to wait in the 35C heat on a smoke filled highway with the windows closed to keep out the flies and mosquitos. The first update said the fire had jumped the highway so things were looking worse. A few hours later the update was that the fire had jumped the highway in a second place so things were looking more worse. After 7 hours, they decided to let us all through with a pilot car leading the way. It was a long smoky drive where we could see active fires burning in spots on both sides of the road. Very surreal! Those firefighters sure earn their pay. We made it back to High Level just after midnight ready for another cap adventure. Thanks for cap OFTH! 2011-08-09T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP137 Steen River Posted: N59 59.979 W116 59.020 GPSr: N59 59.978 W116 59.023 I emptied most of the foul-smelling water from the hole, then sopped up the remaining water with a paper towel.

This morning with the rehearsals going on below us, we could appreciate the excellent vantage point. As for the cap, a gopher is currently using it as a fancy brass door step. 2011-06-29T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP138 Calgary Scotsmans Hill - There was music coming up from the Stampede Grounds this morning, probably rehearsal for the big event.

TFTCap 2008-08-05T20:00:00 Found it DocMagoo BCP138 - Drumheller Wish we could have got to the bottom of this one, but had to be satisfied that the coords were pretty much bang on and a compass sweep could have indicated the manhole or the brass cap. Geo_Jakers and I CITO'ed out as much of the garbage as possible from inside the mini manhole housing the cap, but there was a thick layer of primordial sludge and who knows what else covering the cap. The manhole was found in a planter and was quite deep. We stopped clearing out the mess for fear of sharp objects or needles. Logging this cap with the permission of the cache page owner.

Just as grandpa nicolo was going to take a picture, the battery to his camera stopped working. He was really mad and started saying some things that I didn't understand. What does $#@&*^!! mean, does anyone know? He went to a store and bought some more batteries, saying the same words that I didn't understand and saying "those batteries were expensive." I wonder what the problem was. 2006-06-26T20:00:00 Found it Foster Bros BCP138 - Scotsman Hill Took some searching as the coords were more off than usual for Brass Caps. Older Bro stepped out onto the street and found the paint markings on the curb, Peter then walked right up to it. The neighbors must have been confused, 3 young guys pull up in a Jeep, get out, take a picture of the ground, then leave!

If anyone else hasn't found it yet, now would be a good time. Its got a big orange circle painted right around it and some new paint on the nearby sidewalk too. 2005-09-26T20:00:00 Found it raw spirit BCP138 Near the low level Bridge In edmonton.

Knowing where I had to go, drove the geobuggy to Scotsman’s Hill and then pulled out the AccuNav. I had to navigate through 8 different windows on the GPS to enter the coordinates and then two more to set a ‘goto’. Holding the GPS to the front windshield and using something called the ‘plot screen’, I carefully navigated along the road to within 40 meters of the cap and then parked the car. Once again, orienting the GPS to the north, the plot screen showed the way to go. There went the beep, and there was the indentation in the ground. This may at one time have been quite a colorful cap. Verdict on the Eagle AccuNav Sport: it’ll get you there, and pretty close too, but I sure miss the ‘arrow’ and the maps, and it certainly doesn’t fit into the shirt pocket – time to put it on the shelf. It was an interesting exercise though. Thanks for the cache and the hunt. 2004-10-29T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP138, Calgary (Scotsmans Hill) N 51° 02.035 W 114° 02.894 An easy drive-to cap 2004-10-27T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt.

This was "find" #7. 2017-05-16T20:00:00 Found it hunthikers BCP139 Calgary (Richmond Road) I was out of the house early this morning to see if I could grab this cap before the muggles got out and about in this busy location. There was 1 person at the bus stop ignoring me but I tried my best to look like i was on official business. Last time I was here it was busy and the cover was frozen in place. Today it was quiet and easy to open. TFTC. 2017-04-29T20:00:00 Found it behmSquad BCP139 Calgary (Richmond Road) I had time for just this one cap today. I had no problem finding the Survey Monument manhole or getting it open. The find beneath it was a bit unexpected but clearly what others have found and logged. I have but one day left to make this a record cap month. Thanks for the cap. 2017-04-29T20:00:00 Found it pickledherrings BCP139 Calgary (Richmond Road) N 51° 01.343 W 114° 08.512 2017-04-25T20:00:00 Found it Citizen_22 BCP139 Calgary (Richmond Road) Out this evening to find a few caps before last light.

Thanks for setting up the caps! 2017-04-23T20:00:00 Found it One Bad Ant BCP139 Richmond Road With the multiple finds becoming extinct, I suppose I should keep an eye out for brass caps. I will forever think of this one while I get gas at my favourite station across the way. Thanks OFTH. 2017-04-22T20:00:00 Found it NurseB33 BCP139 Calgary - Richmond Road I woke up rather early, so I decided to head out in search of some more brass caps. However, I ended up getting distracted by all the caches in the area that I hadn't found yet, so I only wound up finding two Caps <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_shock.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> and this was one of them. Information has been sent to the C.O. Thanks so much, OFTH, for all the fun and for adding a smiley to my map <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2017-04-17T20:00:00 Found it sapien BCP139 Calgary (Richmond Road) N 51° 01.344 W 114° 08.512 For reasons that will become apparent for future finders, I had some concerns about logging this BC but after discussing it with OFTH, I am reassured that this is a find. Thank you, OFTH. I was worried GZ would be muggle central on a Monday at lunch time but it appears that there was no school today and the only muggles around other than those driving past were a group playing pickleball. I don't understand the rules but it was interesting to watch while I collected the info needed for this BC. TFTBC. 2016-06-06T20:00:00 Found it Iron Phoenix BCP 139 - Calgary (Richmond Road) I've walked and driven by this cap so many times I couldn't begin to count. I don't live that far from it, so since my GPSr is now working again, I figured it might be time to get this off my map!! It is under a little manhole, but I managed to lift it up without too much difficulty. (Logging a bit late... it's been in my GSAK list to Publish Logs for too long, but the found date is correct.)

Thanks! 2013-08-31T20:00:00 Found it Ge0Patr0l BCP 139 - Calgary (Richmond Road) Quick cap find thanks to a clue from uh-oh who had found the cap previously. They had explained where it was and how to find it one afternoon while caching in the area. We were working on a UBD that day so we didn't stop for the cap and I kept it on my radar for another day. Thanks for the cap! 1837 - 31/08/2013 9:32:52 PM 2013-08-27T20:00:00 Found it Pirate Grrlz BCP 139 - Richmond Road Ahoy! With the Grand-Pirates in town the Captain and First Mate took Gizmo the GeoPup for a walk. And what better place than one with an unfound brass cap nearby? There is a lot of construction going on at the school, even at 7pm, they must be rushing to get it done before the kids come back. So we had to park and take the long way around. We were able to find a crack in the fence to squeeze through and the location of this cap became very evident. Luckily no muggles or buses came by while we were examining and recording the information. A quick find. Thanks. N51 01.341 W114 08.513 Elevation 1143m 2013-08-05T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv I found BCP139 Calgary (Richmond Road) while spending the day caching around Calgary with Jimigigilo. We had to stop caching for a little bit so he could take in his bottles and cans in and I noticed this brass cap was nearby so I used the opportunity to come and grab it. After I had the manhole cover off and was taking my pics a muggle walked by with her dog. She looked at me kind of interestingly and then looked in the manhole. I was surprised but she didn't ask what it was and just kept walking.

I just tried to tune out the surroundings, even the pedestrian who was on his way to ground zero. I took a couple of shots of the pin, but in my haste to finish the work before he arrived, I see now I didn't get a context shot. Oh well, it was a bit of a relief to have that one finished and be out of that very busy spot. Thanks for the cap! 2013-07-19T20:00:00 Found it uh-oh BCP139 - Calgary (Richmond Road) We weren't 100% sure if we could do this one but decided to take a look.

Email with pics sent T4TBCP TeamDJM (4613) Lethbridge Alberta 2013-06-17T20:00:00 Found it rustywa [b]BCP139 - Calgary (Richmond Road)[/b] 10:07 PM This is the third time I'm at this cap. The first time the lid was frozen shut and not even my rebar could open it. The second time I didn't have my rebar but I thought it would be doable with just my hands. Wrong! This time I returned with a tire iron and now I could actually lift the lid (with just my hands). I expected to see a cap but I saw a rod. Took pictures to prove my visit. Thanks for the cap! 2013-05-18T20:00:00 Found it Accura BCP139 Calgary Richmond Road N51 01.343 W114 08.512 The coordinates for this cap were perfect, but they could have been out by a whole lot and there would have been no problem finding the location. The tricky part was looking inconspicuous while accessing the actual cap in the very heavy long weekend traffic. It's easy to do if you try to make yourself look like you have every reason to be there. Besides no one was paying me any attention..... I think. TFTBC. 2013-05-17T20:00:00 Found it GeoMonkey_AB BCP139 Calgary Richmond Road With traffic speeding by I tried to look as official as I could - like I was suppose to be messing around with a manhole in the sidewalk. I'm not sure I was convincing but no one stopped to ask what I was up too. I was not expecting a manhole cover as heavy as this one was - thankfully I was able to leverage it out without any extra tools. The cap itself is not brass but yellow plastic - also surprised me. I really need to start reading the descriptions before hand. Thanks for another brass cap! 2013-04-02T20:00:00 Found it Jimigigilo BCP 139 some muggles drove by as I made the find TFTC 2013-01-26T20:00:00 Didn't find it rustywa 5:37 PM [b]BCP139 - Calgary (Richmond Road)[/b] From previous logs it was clear where this one would be. Another manhole cache! We found some parking at the Safeway and walked over to the manhole with our "manhole cover opener rebar". The people at the bus stop were looking a bit strange when we inserted the rebar and tried to open the manhole. Unfortunately for us all we could do is to bend the rebar. The cover never moved and thus never opened. I guess I'll have to come back some other day to see the cap. 2012-10-06T20:00:00 Found it MKFmly BCP139 Calgary (Richmond Road) Posted Coordinates: N51° 01.343 W114° 08.512 My Phone Coordinates: N51° 01.345 W114° 08.511 We were down to Calgary for Thanksgiving and a 50th Wedding Anniversary. Today we were free for the whole day before organizing more festivities and we took the opportunity to go on a caching and capping run to assist with our Alberta Alphanumeric Cache Challenge, Alberta Alphanumeric Hider Challenge, and our Jasmer Challenge. We started fairly early out at the Glenmore reservoir on the north side. Migrating to the west end with the weather going from windy and colder to sunny and warm. We had an appointment in Discovery Ridge so we planned a couple of Caps on the way. This was one of them and we had to drive around the block twice to find a decent parking spot. Another quick find.

Actually, the bus stop was clear and I had a break in pedestrian traffic so I pulled off the manhole and snapped a photo. Almost missed the yellow collar around the pin with the required numbers as it was buried in the muck. Cleaned it off, retook the photos and off I went. Thanks for the cap.

This one was our fourth of the evening, found at around 10:00 PM. I hope we actually found this one, otherwise I'll have to change this to a note, as the marker wasn't really a brass cap, but rather what looked like a manhole cover. Picture to follow.

In the end, a total waste of oxygen, because there was a gate quite close! Oh, well. This was one of those caps that required a bit of muscle, but we had worked out at the fitness center before starting an afternoon of caching, so our bodies were able to perform the appropriate exertion!

It wasn't too much trouble locating this brass cap once I figured out which side of the road to be on.

On the first attempt, GZ was moving around and with the snow it wasn't clear to me where I should focus my attention. It was too cold for too long a stay. Today, I had some more knowledge and knew roughly where I need to be based on a context picture. It was still -20C with some breeze and once at GZ I was disappointed to see a thin hard packed layer of snow on the ground. I chipped at it with the edge of a boot but no joy. I gave up and turned to walk back W and there it was... :) The streak lives on! 2016-09-01T20:00:00 Found it Safari Cachers BCP140 - Calgary (14 Street NW) Another grab on the way into work....

I just found the info buried under a pile of stuff which I sorted today after moving my office upstairs. The cap was very hard to read, but I did take a picture which I am sending to OFTH as proof I was there. I have a few more which I didn't log, but I am having a tough time fining the corresponding photos, so I will log them as I identify the photos.

Wings were done around 10:30 or so and we figured we might as well drive around until after midnight to get a cache for Sunday. Not wanting security or the cops called on us, we opted for a brass cap in a public space and this one worked out perfectly. The information has been scraped up and away, so it's hard to know what to do... We took lots of context pictures and even though it's dark, you can mostly tell that we were truly on scene. TFTH!

As could be expected the Tomtom had issues directing us to a good location so we were driving around a bit until we parked at the sears parking lot. A short walk over and we spotted the cap. No numbers visible though so I'll just upload the picture. Thanks for the cap! 2013-01-07T20:00:00 Found it gardengorilla BCP140 Calgary (14th St. NW) After having looked for three caps already, I was getting a little frustrated. I was pretty sure this one would be out in the open, still I had read the logs and when I had walked back and forth 3 times I thought for sure it was under ice. But a fourth pass and I made the find about 10m from GZ. These little guys are tricky for me! The cap is even more damaged since the last picture posted. I wonder if a snow blower may have something to do with that? 2012-11-26T20:00:00 Found it Nike Goddess of Winged Victory BCP140 Calgary (14 St NW) N 51 03.859 W 114 05.673 Things I discovered on this find: That the south sidewalk is icy and the north is bare. That I should have brought my gloves. That hands can melt snow on a brass cap. That using your thumb to clean off the final bits is not a good idea. That this brass cap is rough and damaged and has sharp shards of metal. That you really feel no pain when your thumb is frozen. That thumbs really don't bleed much when frozen. That eventually thumbs thaw. That my thumb has a very nice slice in it! No need to blur the photo....there's nothing to blur!!

I was looking at my GPS for too long at way too far out when I caught what I thought could be a cap 5 feet behind me. Went back and found I actually had walked right over the Brass Cap. This makes 5 different caches for me in a single day. I now can log the Calgary bingo challenge. 2012-01-26T20:00:00 Found it TeamDJM BCP140 Calgary (14 St NW) My GPSr reads N51 03.860 W114 05.674 Numbers? - What numbers????

[Re-log after account split; previously logged as Terratin] 2011-12-15T20:00:00 Found it terratin BCP140 Calgary (14 St NW) Third brass cap we found, thanks! 2011-09-22T20:00:00 Found it BrassPirate BCP140: Found at N51 03.860 W114 05.675 2011-07-09T20:00:00 Found it CBMocha BCP140 - Calgary 14 st. NW I was happy that this one was up and not down. The cap looks like it has been snow plowed. 2011-06-26T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP140 Calgary (14St NW) 51 03.859 114 05.674 Wonder how many times we have walked over this one on our way to the Jubilee to watch some Broadway show that the younger half of team Count Smiley 'had' to see:) 2011-06-12T20:00:00 Found it GeoMonkey_AB 8:36pm BCP140 - Calgary 14 ST NW This is my first brass cap. It is less than 1km from the house so I figured I would check it out tonight. The cap is in rough shape - the numbers are scrapped off and there is a large gash in it - no doubt from snow removal in the winter. 2010-10-24T20:00:00 Found it green ducks BCP140 Calgary (14 St NW) I could park close by since it is Sunday! 2010-09-21T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP140 - Calgary (14 St NW) I was in the area getting a chip in the windshield fixed, so I stopped on by and grabbed his cap. TFTH 2010-09-20T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP140 (14St NW), Cap is in rough shape. I could only make out a few numbers. 2010-08-21T20:00:00 Found it narloth BCP140 - Calgary (14 St NW) Found with Losmir. Cap has taken some major abuse - numbers were impossible to read. TFTBC!! 2010-08-21T20:00:00 Found it Losmir BCP140 - Calgary (14 St NW) Elevation 1088m GPS Accuracy 4m This one is a little tricksy since it is off 14 Ave, above 14 St. It's easy to find when you're at the right elevation!! Cap is totally abused, scraped by snow removal equipment I figure. And it's take one heck of a solid hit somewhere along the way. TFTBC!! 2010-08-19T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP 140 Calgary (14St NW) Elevation 1106 M This sad cap has seen better days. Thanks for the cap. Thanks for the hunt. Bearberry and The Cub 2010-05-09T20:00:00 Found it daedulus BCP140 Calgary 14st NW Busy area tonight as a lot of people were heading over to the Jubilee centre. Concert? Quickly spotted the cap and made my way home.

Lots of Muggles, but who cares, they can't steal a brass cap! 2009-07-16T20:00:00 Found it voyager9 BCP140 - Calgary. As Geoguider54 indicated we found this one before going to out Pizza and Beer event tonight. 2009-07-16T20:00:00 Found it Trefoil/Voyager BCP140 - Calgary 14th street Done on the way to Pizza and Beer. Quiet at this time of the day. 2009-06-15T20:00:00 Found it cougarman70 BCP140 (Calgary 14 Str NW) A quick find on the ride in this AM. TFTH 2009-05-01T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP140 CAlgary 14 St NW This was is really hard to read, but easy to find. TFTBC!!!! 2009-01-12T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP140 Calgary (14 St NW) Posted: N51° 03.859 W114° 05.673 GPSr N51° 03.861 W114° 05.674 I was starting to think finding this cap was not going to happen today. An over zealous lot attendant in the North Hill Shopping Centre was adamant that we couldn't park in the empty corner of the lot. I assured him we were stopping for only a minute and we were not Sait students. In the end, Mrs. TiE drove around the lot while I attemped the find. When I got to ground zero, the entre sidewalk was caked in packed snow. With a 5 m accuracy, that made for a lot of snow to chisel with only my shoe heel (unprepared as usual). As dispair set in, I noticed a pink flagging on the railing. Could that be a cap marker. I carved a line across the sidewalk from the flagging and there it was. Thank you to whoever marked the cap and thanks for the cap! 2008-09-30T20:00:00 Found it Tethys C BCP140 Calgary (14 St NW) Biked up the 14th Street hill and I'll blame the sweat in my eyes for the amount of time it took to actually find the cap.<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blush.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I stopped my bike right at ground zero and got off. Looked left and right along sidewalk. Hmmmmm!! Where is it? Walking back to my bike, I see the cap about 6 inches from my front bike tire!!<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> A quick picture and back on my trusty steed with two more caps under my belt. Thanks again. 2008-08-21T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP140 Calgary (14th St. NW) N51° 03.859’ W114° 05.675’ (my GPSr). I didn’t even need the GPSr for this one. I am sure passing people wondered what I was doing kneeling down on the bridge. However, no one asked if I needed help either.

TFTH 2007-11-16T20:00:00 Found it j_peg BCP140 - Calgary (14 St NW). Find #176, Cap #5. This one is still there, but has seen better days. Looks like it was hit by a snowplow blade. TFTB! 2007-09-22T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP140 -- Calgary (14 St NW) Was working our way from the Riley Park cap over to Crescent Road cap when the GPSr routed us close to this one. Quickly pulled into the parking lot at Northland Mall and hoofed it over to the bridge. Super quick find. Cap has been pretty much worn down from the amount of foot traffic. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/DanOCan/0922071501.jpg EDIT: I guess it helps if I actually mention that cap I found, eh? 2007-08-19T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP140 Calgary14StNW N51 03.859 W114 05.673 We ended the day yesterday just 8 "finds" shy of 700, so decided this morning to go out for a couple of hours to try to reach that milestone. The 14 Ave bridge over 14 St NW was our first stop. There was no traffic around at 9 o'clock on a Sunday morning, so Mr. GeoK was able to drop us off right on the bridge. The GeoKids and I hopped out, walked about 20 meters down the sidewalk and then the youngest GeoKid was doing a little victory dance! E-mail will be on the way shortly. 2007-03-18T20:00:00 Found it mysterya BCP140 - 14 St. Found on route to my 200th cache with Neko and Hiiri.

Some one should tell them that brass caps are meant for fun not work. 2005-11-06T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP140 - Calgary 14th St. NW Parked in front of the big "don't park here unless you're shopping" sign. 2005-10-01T20:00:00 Found it Stig Figger BCP140 - Calgary (14 St NW) Ah.

It's tough to find a good spot for a larger cache in the fall! 2004-10-24T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP140 Found at around 5:45 this afternoon. Had to scrape some snow out of the way to see this one.

TFTcap! 2017-05-06T20:00:00 Found it sapien BCP142 Calgary (Irrigation Canal) N 50° 58.312 W 113° 54.730 I was in the area to grab another cache that I needed for my Fizzy and date hidden challenges so of course, I also grabbed this cap as well. I was worried the cap might be on private property but that turned out to be non-issue. Whew! I found one lonely vehicle at GZ but non one was around so I was able to grab the information for the cap without any hassle.

Another two caps down. Thanks for the cap. 2017-04-23T20:00:00 Found it NurseB33 BCP142 Calgary (Irrigation Canal) It was a chilly and dreary Sunday morning but the GeoNiece had her first baseball practice scheduled for 10am and we were both looking forward to it! I was about 5 minutes from picking her up when I was notified that practice was cancelled. CANCELLED? What? Yes, apparently the rain the NIGHT BEFORE had made the ground wet (ummmm, duh), and therefore children apparently cannot play outdoors when it's wet outside <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_shock.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. I'm sure we all have stories of "when I was a kid I walked 10miles to school in -40* temperatures ....." but seriously, when I was a kid we played baseball in almost ANY condition... snow, rain, wind, etc. The only thing to cancel out a game was lightening. Okay, rant over and now let's get down to business.... Since my plans were cancelled and I was already dressed for the weather and in the car, I decided to search for some caches (and caps). This one was an easy find, although it's in pretty rough condition. Information has been sent to the C.O. Thanks so much, OFTH, for another Brass Cap!! 2016-08-11T20:00:00 Found it uboff BCP142 Irrigation Canal 2016-08-02T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP142 Calgary As we traveled west into Calgary clouds that had been gathering size and darkness during the past few hours of the afternoon were now face to face with only a narrow band of blue sky left between them. The sun and we were both travelling straight down that strip of blue but not for much longer. It was an interesting spectacle. There were two vehicles near the cap when we arrived; the driver of the one across the road rode off on his bicycle. The occupants of the one by the cap were well beyond the gate and the large, prominently posted No Trespassing sign walking their dogs along the canal. The gate is no longer blue, but a bright yellow. The marker post and divot were easily spotted but it looked like we would need a trowel to uncover the cap. Fortunately, before that got under way the side of the hole was brushed against and a bit of orange appeared. A bit more dirt was wiped away to reveal a severely damaged cap. Chucks are even missing from the outer edges. A lot of the orange paint has worn off but it is still very difficult to make out most of the letters or numbers on site. Once we viewed the picture on the computer, though, most of the digits are readable. The cloud gap had closed, the sun gone for the day but we were still dry and there was still one more cache to find. Caching on! Thanks for this and the rest of today's caps, outforthehunt! 2015-07-04T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP142 Calgary (Irrigation Canal) Posted: N50° 58.311' W113° 54.730' My GPSr: N50° 58.31[b]3[/b]' W113° 54.730' I thought the Nuvi was taking me the extremely long way around to get to this one, but in the end, it turns out it was right. This painted cap was an easy find. Thanks for the cap! 2015-06-02T20:00:00 Found it Ge0Patr0l BCP142 - Calgary (Irrigation Canal) Mr Ge0Patr0l was in the area picking up some caches after visiting with a nearby client and he wandered over to pickup the brass cap. It looks like some surveyors were also looking at the cap recently as there was flagging on it and the cap has been spray painted orange making the numbers difficult to read. Find # 3048 - 6/2/2015 4:21:19 AM 2015-05-13T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP142 - Calgary (Irrigation Canal) Posted: N50 58.311 W113 54.730 MyGPSr: N50 58.314 W113 54.733 It was easy to spot this cap, which is painted orange and 2 feet in front of a flagged metal guard post. It is in a hole about 3 inches below ground level. The cap was clean, but the orange paint made it hard to read most of the numbers. Thanks for another brass cap. 2014-05-11T20:00:00 Found it danboss BCP142 Calgary (Irrigation Canal) N50° 58.311 W113° 54.723 Quick find - cap is in excellent shape.

This is our closest unfound cap which was easy for Accura, but not so for me. I was staring at it and still couldn't see it until she put her fingers right close to it. Doh! TFTBC. 2013-08-26T20:00:00 Found it Accura BCP142 Calgary Irrigation Canal The cap was easy to find for me, but yayajojo had to stare long and hard for some reason before she could spot it. Unfortunately, the cap is very banged up and the numbers are difficult to read. TFTBC. 2013-04-12T20:00:00 Found it GeoMonkey_AB BCP 142 - Calgary Irrigation Canal I was out with rustywa for our usual Thursday night run when he suddenly stopped the truck. I had no cache dialed in so I asked him what we were stopping for and he indicated there was a brass cap to find. The find was quick but the cap is very worn and the numbers were hard to make out. 2013-04-12T20:00:00 Found it rustywa [b]BCP142 - Calgary (Irrigation Canal)[/b] We were on our way home when we saw a big structure being moved in the distance. Roads were blocked while the truck with the barn made its way east. Time for a cap! THe cap was easily found and accessible but it is difficult to get a lot of readable numbers from it.

AS I started to remove the snow, I saw a bunch of ice and was worried as I did not have any tool with me today. Fortunately, no tools were required. TFTH! 2011-08-10T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP142 Calgary (Irrigation Canal). I was surprised at how busy this road was. Looking at the map I had figured it to be a country road but the edge of the city is just about out to the cap. Lots of water flowing in the canal, the farmers must be happy.

Thanks for the cap! 2008-06-14T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP142 Calgary (Irrigation Canal) N50 58.311 W113 54.730 GPSr: N50 58.312 W113 54.730 This canal is fed by the Bow River and Calgary's storm sewer system. It connects to Western Irrigation District (WID) System. This water delivery system is comprised of 1,200 kilometers of canals east of Calgary. It has been owned since 1944 by approximately 400 farmers and has annual water revenues of $2.2 million. WID currently employs 30 people. The purpose of the system is to: (1) deliver water to 400 farmers, acreage owners and various industrial customers, (2) provide storm water removal for Calgary, Strathmore and Chestermere and (3) provide municipal water supply for towns of Strathmore, Rockyford, Gleichen, Cluny and Standard. The system was originally built in the early 1900's as part of the Canadian Pacific Railway's initiative to attract settlers to Alberta. It was taken over by a group of farmers in 1944 to prevent the C.P.R. from closing the canals and abandoning the system. It played an important role in settling areas east of Calgary by providing water, training and land to farmers in the early 1900's. C.P.R. operated a world famous demonstration farm on the present site of the Western Irrigation System head office. The cap is well marked and in good condition. The cap also offers a nice view of Calgary and the Rockies (see pic). TFTC outforthehunt!

Finding it wasn't a problem: it's surrounded by marker stakes. It was a quick snap, snap and then I continued on down the road through Robb to Edson and Edmonton. Thanks for the cap! 2012-08-11T20:00:00 Found it Foster Bros BCP143 - Coalspur I have driven by this cap many, many times over the past 4 years working the the Coal Valley region and finally convinced my boss to stop and let me find it today. We are actually finishing a day of work at Mercoal, and last week we were busy excavating the Dairy Barn at Coalspur. It's very disappointing to see that the mine will be going through what is left of Coalspur and Yellowhead Tower, and even more disappointing that the county decided to remove the old townsite buildings from Coalspur to discourage squatting. Thanks for another cap, OFTH! Older Foster Bro 2011-10-07T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP143 Coalspur 4:00pm The drive along the forestry trunk road was quite the adventure today. With the steady rain we must have picked up at least ten pounds of gumbo in the wheels. The fall colours were beautiful and we had the great pleasure of watching a moose trot across the road at a leisurely pace (I did notice a couple of wild turkeys in the bush shooing it along - Happy Thanksgiving!). We were able to park within 50m of the cap and made the quick walk over through the tall grass to the well flagged cap. 2011-10-07T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP143 Coalspur We took the scenic and very windy Forestry Trunk Road up from Nordegg to Coalspur. Despite the rain the road was in okay shape until we hit the mud on the north end. We ended up packing out several tons of mud in our under carriage but we got the cap ... and that made it worthwhile. The hum of the coal mine just up the hill was a reminder of the major industry in this area.

TFTH 2009-08-15T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP143 - Coalspur Elev. 1188 metres I headed out of Calgary to escape today's cold and wet weather, and I was at least partially successful. It was much warmer up towards Hinton, and it wasn't contiuously raining. I guess today's weather up here would fall into the category of scattered showers, but there was nothing scattered about the rain that coming down around this cap though! Highway 47 is paved all the way from highway 16 right up til less than a kilometre away from this cap. I'd originally planned to go after BCP370 first, but either the turn off that the GPSr wanted me to take doesn't exist or I simply missed it. So I carried on to the campground entrance and went after this one first. It's a pretty easy one. Simply park by the picnic shelter, and walk across the road to the piece of flagged lath that marks the cap's location. I didn't see the downed GP anywhere; I guess it's gone the way of all things when there are people around popping off guns (more on that in my log for BCP370). The cap has seen better days. Though the digits are still legible, the cap's surface is marred by both tool marks and bash marks (as in bashed with a large, heavy, blunt object). Thanks for the cap! 2009-07-27T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP143 Coalspur Spotted the marker pole from the vehicle when pulling up to the area making this a pretty quick find today. TFTCap 2009-04-25T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP 143 - Coalspur South I decided a little adventure was needed this afternoon, so a trip down the Forestry Trunk from Hinton to Nordegg was in order. Well the first 50 kilometres or so south is a piece of cake on Class A highway to the mines. After the mine site the road quickly narrows, becomes soft and muddy, and wash-board like as well. A few kilometres later I discovered that the road also passes through the snow belt - in fact I now know where all the snow that was being called for in the mountain parks fell - right here. The next 30 - 40 kilometres was basically on single track road, as there was 8 - 10 inches of snow and the road shoulders were really soft. Fortunately I didn't run into anyone else until hitting the Hwy. 40 / 47 junction. I quickly found the cap site, but the cap was covered in at least 3 - 4 inches of ice. Out came the shovel and half an hour later the cap was uncovered. The GP is now snapped off near the base and only a few inches long, but the cap is in pretty good shape. Wow, what a white knuckle ride on the Forestry Trunk - TFTH and real adventure! 2008-11-10T20:00:00 Found it CoalBranchKid [b][i]BCP143 Coalspur[/i] N53° 10.458 W117° 00.511[/b] Comin' back from settin' a couple of caches at Mountain Park and Cardinal Divide. 2006-07-07T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP143-Coalspur Nice little area this one is located in!

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. Thanks for the cap! 2011-10-07T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP144 Luscar 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. 2011-10-07T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP144 Luscar 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! 2011-09-09T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP144 Luscar After the tractor and mower chewed up the marker lathe and spread it out, it was a bit difficult to find. The metal detector made the find!

The wood lath and cover rock were found thrown aside. I replaced them, took the required photos and we moved on after discussing a past visit in the snow to this cap by SH. It was much easier for me today in a dry field. Thanks for the cap! 2010-09-23T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP144 Luscar Nice quiet drive out to this one. It had just a bit of snow on it. Just enough to help with the cleaning of the cap. TFTBC!!!! 2009-10-19T20:00:00 Found it plmy BCP144 TFTH 2009-10-04T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP144 - Luscar We were headed home from the Palisades Centre and decided a little adventure south on the Forestry Trunk from Hinton was in order. About ten kilometres south of Hinton the white stuff was starting to accumulate in the ditch, and by the time we got to the cap site two feet of the mixture was waiting in the ditch. Fortunately Striders Ride and VDD had set up a marker with flagging to indicate GZ, and a rock was placed dead over the cap. So after wading out into the ditch with the shovel in hand, the cap find was quick and easy - thanks guys! There were hunters everywhere on the Forestry Trunk this morning and fortunately for a number of deer and elk, they were on a relatively inaccessible ridge about two kilometres west - check out the picture. Great spot, lots of the white stuff, and unfortunately no snowshoes to check out Cardinal Divide - oh well, we'll have to wait for spring. TFTH and fun, the pictures are on the way! 2009-08-15T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP144 - Luscar Elev. 1498 metres After completing the two caps at Coalspur I was faced with the option of retracing my steps north along #47, taking #16 west to #40 then following #40 south (about 172 kilometres along paved roads) or taking the direct route along the unpaved section of #40 (about 47 kilometres). Given all the horror stories I've read about the unpaved part of Highway 40, you'd be forgiven if you thought I decided to take the round about route. Nope! I turned south out of the Coalspur campground then made the righthand turn onto highway 40. And I'm glad I did! C'mon folks, there's nothing wrong with that road! The scenery is beautiful, the views can be stunning, and the road is no worse than any random unpaved country road you might run across. And did I mention the scenery? And the views? <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The coal mine at Cadomin is also an interesting sight (but I'm glad I came by on the weekend). The road turned from gravel back into pavement against around Luscar, and shortly thereafter I came across the roadside cap. I spotted Strider's Ride flagged lath marker from the road, and the rock marking the cap made that part just as easy. The cap appears, well, worn is the best word I can think of. There are only a few tool marks on its surface, and the surface isn't pitted; it just looks worn and old. I replaced the rock over the cap before I left, so even if the lath is removed again, the lone rock in the area should help you track down the cap. A couple of young deer were taking an interest in what I was up to, but I guess they were camera-shy because as soon as I reached for the camera they bounded away into the trees. Oh well! Thanks for the roadside cap, outforthehunt. 2009-07-27T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP144 Luscar After debating whether or not to take this road as part of the return route home, I threw caution to the wind & headed out on for what was an scenic & interesting stretch of road passing by the Gregg River mining operations which are extensive. The cap was a bit of a challenge located in a grassy, vegetative area with no markers of any kind in sight, however after looking around a bit I discovered some lathe on the ground & that meant it had to be close...sure enough after a bit more hunting there it was. Thanks for yet another interesting cap location! 2009-04-25T20:00:00 Didn't find it Sleepy_hollow BCP144 - Luscar I quickly found GZ and surveyed the cap site. With 4 inches of snow covering the area, I decided it would be a good idea to pull out the metal detector. After several scans of the area, I ended up getting an indication of some metal under the snow cover. Using a shovel I moved quite a bit of snow to find a good spot for some further exploration. I ended up finding a 10 - 12 inch nail, two broken pieces of lathe, and a good bit of flagging, but no cap. It appears that quite a bit of recent road construction has taken place in the vicinity, that might explain the broken survey markers. I suspect the cap is under cover somewhere, but in a position that will require some warmer weather to allow a find. TFTH and exercise! 2006-07-07T20:00:00 Found it Klondike Mike Luscar Wpt: BCP144 N53° 07.324 W117° 28.594 Quick find on my way back north, tfth 2005-07-02T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP144 ( Luscar ) N53° 07.324 W117° 28.594 Found at 8:28 AM One of 16 caps found with the caching team of Daddy RedRouge, Smrt_geer and myself.

We thought we'd take the adventurous way home. The road was not too bad, until we got to this cap!! Thanks! 2005-07-02T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP144 - Luscar First cap of the day with Nicolo and Smrtgeer. 2005-05-26T20:00:00 Found it PDOP's BCP144 Luscar N53° 07.324 W117° 28.594 I first tried for this one last summer but the grass was waist high and I couldn't find any sign of the cap or the G.P. mentioned in the hint. I returned about a month ago and kicked around in the now matted down grass for about an hour before giving up. The nearby highway had been widened a few years ago and I figured the cap had been buried or destroyed. I thought the only way to find this one was going to be with a metal detector which I didn't have. Rocky 1 was able to borrow a detector and we returned to the site today prepared for search and perhaps some excavation to expose the cap. I used my 76C to navigate to navigate to the coordinates and was standing waiting for it to get a WAAS lock to refine the position further when I noticed the barest of depressions in the matted vegetation. A little kick with my toe and there was the cap along with a couple of wooden survey stakes. Total elapsed time from getting out of the the truck to exposing the cap was maybe 45 seconds. I almost felt bad telling Rocky 1 that I'd found it after he had gone to the trouble of borrowing the metal detector. Sometimes it's more luck than skill.<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blush.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2005-05-26T20:00:00 Found it Rocky 1 BCP144 N53 07.324 W 117 28.594 Luscar AB Easy find with Sienna the poodle. 818.554 2004-10-08T02:00:00-06:00 BCP145 Hanna by outforthehunt, Benchmark (1.5/1.5) http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP145.html Hanna Geocache Geocache|Benchmark Hanna outforthehunt outforthehunt Benchmark Virtual 1.5 1.5 Canada Alberta <a href='http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP145.html'TARGET='resource window'>Past Finds for BCP145</a> <a href='https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=17395&LogType=2'TARGET='resource window'>Log Your Find</a> 14M E OF NE COR BASE OF STATUE NEAR CANADA GOOSE STATUE IN CARAGANA HEDGE. 14M E OF NE COR OF BASE OF STATUE. 1M N OF MP.

We had a vehicle full as Mr. & Mrs. Ladybug and I headed to Veteran to attend a memorial service for our Aunt. We had a couple of elderly aunts (80/90 years old) with us so that kind of cramped our geocaching style. They were good sports and didn't mind stopping a few times along the way. We had a bit of rain on the way out so did most of our caching then which was a good thing as it rained most of way back home. Happy that we are able to continue finding BCs albeit no smiley but that's OK. Thanks for keeping this site alive.

I was going to Moose Jaw for the weekend and decided to come this way so I could pick up a few brass caps. This was my first stop after leaving Red Deer so it was nice to stretch my legs and grab this cap. Once I realized the cap wasn't in the bigger hole, I found the cap right beside it. Another cool spot for a brass cap.

First there was that big goose and then there was that "Doll Palace and Tea Room" with the lovely grandmother type person weeding the flower bed. Fortunately Dave managed to stumble upon the cap before I totally lost my focus. After we had the photo and the requisite numbers we decided to go into the tea room and buy some cookies for the road. Well, turned out there wasn't any cookies to be had - and as for the dolls - not a single one in sight. I'm very confused by this and will obsess about cookies for the rest of the trip.

This one was tricky to do by flashlight as the cap was nowhere near the GP. We again utilized vdD's context shot to narrow down the search and eventually made the find. Glad an RCMP didn't spot two adults walking around the big goose with a flashlight or we would have had some explaining to do. It was a great day of capping. We ended up taking the 700km way home from Edmonton to Calgary via Irma and had 15 great cap hunts along the way with many more caches found as well. The best part is we discovered many new caching areas that we had not been to before and now plan to revisit. Not a bad way to spend a day.

Great to have these easy finds here with most of them readable as well. Heading back into the city I had a bit more time for a few more before calling it a day. Thanks again OFTH! 2017-05-04T20:00:00 Found it indianajoan&marcus BCP146-St. Albert Grabbed the St. Albert caps with the help of deepwoodsdogs.

Thankfully it wasn't and me and the pooch had a quick walk and a quick photo opportunity. {*FOUND*} 2017-02-23T20:00:00 Found it mrt96 Found: BCP146 - St. Albert After a long morning of finding caches, and slicing fingers open on glass, CR1431 decided to stop by this cap to grab. It was an elusive one as there was quite a bit of snow cover that we had to remove. As we 'surveyed' the area, we spotted a stake in the ground and a suspicious patch of ice that we knew contained the elusive brass. I darted to the cache-mobile and grabbed my Geo-shovel and we started to pick away at the ice. We took turns until the brass touched the sky and then we took our pictures for evidence. This was my very first virtual cache find, as well as my very first brass cap! I'm very excited to try and find more and more of these caps throughout Alberta! Thanks for the virtual!:) 2017-02-23T20:00:00 Found it ChristopherRobin1431 BCP146 - St. Albert. Mrt96 and I were out for a couple caches while the other half of my team was at home doing work stuff. we went for this brass cap with no device in hand, having previously looked at it on satellite view. There was only a small covering of snow on the ground which we were able to scrape away with our feet. After a couple minutes, we looked and found an obvious spot for it. Scraping away the snow revealed an extra layer of ice, likely covering the brass cap. T ran back to his car and grabbed is trusty shovel, so we started chipping away at the ice. Eventually after a few minutes of 'shoveling' we uncovered the cap, but we were not able to see any type of engravings on it. Attached is a picture of the cap as well as a satellite view of our location, as well as the shovel used to dig it out. Also sending another picture to the CO to confirm our findings. Thanks so much for all of the effort you put into this Virtual! This is the 17th Brass Cap CR has found, and find #1671 overall :) 2016-08-26T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP146 St. Albert, 671m I wandered around a little and then spotted this well worn cap.

Today was another day that Mrs. Gumby and her mom wanted to do some visiting so it meant that I had a few hours to grab some caches. I decided to head up north of St. Albert but decided to stop caching up there earlier so I could grab the caps in St. Albert on the way back to the hospital. This was my first cap of the day. I'm sure I got a few looks from people trying to pull onto the main road but I was able to spot the cap quickly. Thanks for another cap in a great location.

In the hunt for our 7 souvenirs of August we thought another brass cap would do the trick.

Tonight was the night for New Direction, he found most of the night caps. 2005-03-04T20:00:00 Found it PDOP's BCP 146 St Albert Another item to add to my list of cap hunting equipment is a bailer. Found this cap under a few centimetres of water (why are these things always in holes?). I could feel it just fine but the muddy water stopped me from seeing any numbers. A short search of my car turned up a plastic cap from a spray can so I returned to the brass submariner and began bailing... and bailing.. and bailing. As quickly as I exposed the cap when I'd stop to grab my camera the hole would flood again. My eyes aren't what they used to be and there was no way I was kneeling down to read the numbers so I kept bailing. I'm sure people stopping at this intersection were amused. Finally I changed tactics and held the camera in one hand while bailing with the other and managed to get a few photos of the semisubmerged cap before it disappeared into the deep fro good. Ah the joys of cap hunting during a winter thaw. I guess it was only slightly better than chipping down through ice. 946.0 2004-09-17T02:00:00-06:00 BCP147 Fort MacLeod by outforthehunt, Benchmark (1/1) http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP147.html Fort MacLeod Geocache Geocache|Benchmark Fort MacLeod outforthehunt outforthehunt Benchmark Virtual 1 1 Canada Alberta <a href='http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP147.html'TARGET='resource window'>Past Finds for BCP147</a> <a href='https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=17395&LogType=2'TARGET='resource window'>Log Your Find</a> AL DISC CONC.

N49*43.631 W113*24.483 Elev:949m I picked this cap up on my way home to Lethbridge after a good camping in the Crowsnest Pass. First of all I parked on the side of the building so I would not be in the way just in case. I do not know what I was thinking but I just assumed it is at the corner of the building and was looking for it there for a while. So of course I could not find it there and checked the GPS and the cache page and figured out where it is. After this it was an easy find. While I am there doing my things, one of the doors opened up and a lady came out and asked me if everything is ok. I told her yes and just checking up an the marker and she sad ok and left with the ambulance. I think they know allready we caphunters stop by there time to time. The cap got some damage on it but not too bad at all. I think they scraped it in the winter when cleaning snow off of the driveway. Thanx for an other interesting cap ofth.

The roads were still in poor shape from the blizzard last night but definitely improving. There weren’t any firefighters around so it was a quick find without having to explain what I was doing to anyone. I have not come across this type of measurement station before and I must say it seems a strange place to have this type of station. Now, back to our chilly campsite in Waterton to await the arrival of the rest of the family for the long weekend celebrations! Thanks for posting this cap ofth, an interesting cap in an interesting spot. The cap markings are covered by Ripley, in his new coat. 2009-08-22T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP147 Fort MacLeod N49° 43.632 W113° 24.436 No one out at the fire station this evening making for a quick find.

TFTH 2008-06-05T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP147 - Fort McLeod N49 43.632 W113 24.436 GPSr: N49 43.631 W113 24.435 Fort Macleod is a town (2006 population: 3,072) in the southwest corner of the province of Alberta and it is named in honour of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Colonel James Macleod. Fort Macleod was recently chosen from 30 communities as the site for the proposed Alberta Police and Peace Officer Training Center, which is expected to cause an economic boom in the region. The town grew on the location of the Fort Macleod North West Mounted Police Barracks, the first outpost of the North West Mounted Police in Western Canada, established in 1874 on an island on the Oldman River, then moved in 1884 to the actual town location. The Museum of the North West Mounted Police is located in Fort Macleod. Heritage Canada started a Main Street Restoration Project in 1982, aiming to preserve the sandstone and brick buildings, some dating back to 1878. The town is located in the Municipal District of Willow Creek, at the intersection of Highway 2 and Highway 3, on the Oldman River. The Peigan and Kainah First Nations reserves are nearby as is Waterton Lakes National Park and the largest wind farm in Canada. Fort McLeod was hometown of Canadian music legend Joni Mitchell and Women's Rights Activist Henrietta Muir Edwards. In addition, the movie Brokeback Mountain was filmed in part in Fort Macleod. This cap is a gravity survey marker and is in the driveway of the fire station so watch yourselves. Thanks for the cap outforthehunt. 2007-10-13T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP147 - Fort Macleod Decided to take a pass on the micros and nanos in Fort Macleod today and instead just grab the cap while passing through.

There is still a little snow on the slide and the mountains and with the creek below it was quite the picture. Thank you for a cap in an unexpected location. 2010-07-15T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP148 - Frank Slide Finally back in Canada after our trip to GeoWoodstock VIII. Decided I wanted one more rest stop before heading the rest of the way home, having left Portland, OR in the morning. I remembered there was a cap at Frank Slide I hadn't done yet so I had Mrs. DanOCan [sort of] look up the coordinates for me while I drove and then she [sort of] entered them into the GPSr for me. Since we had the trailer I didn't want to stop on the road so I parked in the pullout about 500m from the cap, grabbed the dog and started back towards the goal. I failed to clue in about the cap being "east of the 8m cliff" and ended up on the road looking up at the cap location. I continued on down the road another 150m or so before finding a spot that looked to be fairly "dog accessible". I scrambled up the rocks, with a few close calls along the way -- it's not a far drop, but further than I'd care to fall. The dog and I worked our way to the cap, grabbed the numbers (me forgetting my camera in the truck and all!) and then worked our way down, with me picking a descent that the dog was less than impressed with, but a few tugs of the leash and he came sliding down after me in a shower of rocks and dust. Leave it to me to turn a simple cap into an adventure. Thanks for our first cap after getting back in the province! 2010-07-05T20:00:00 Found it Klondike Mike BCP148 Frank Slide I had my wife dropp me off on the road north west of the cap where I walked through the open gate and followed a vehicle track to within 30m of the cap. After grabbing a few pics and numbers I made my way down to where she parked. Nice view of the mountain from this one. tfth 2010-06-30T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP148 Frank Slide N 49 35.949 W 114 24.087 The Frank Slide is a natural landslide feature in the southern Rocky Mountains of Canada, and a significant historical event in western Canada. On April 29, 1903, at 4:10 a.m., 90 million tonnes (30 million cubic metres) of limestone crashed from the east face of Turtle Mountain and covered approximately three square kilometers of the valley floor. The slab of rock that broke free was approximately 650 m high, 900 m wide and 150 m thick. The slide dammed the Crowsnest River and formed a small lake; covered 2km of the Canadian Pacific Railway train tracks; destroyed most of the coal mine's surface infrastructure; and buried seven houses on the outskirts of the sleeping town of Frank, as well as several rural buildings. Frank was home to approximately 600 people in 1903; it is estimated that 90 of the roughly 100 individuals in the path of the slide were killed. The town was evacuated, but people were soon allowed to return and both the mine and the railway were back in operation within a month. The town of Frank continued to grow, until a report on the mountain’s stability resulted in the provincial government ordering the closure of the south part of the town in 1911. Studies and monitoring continue today. We had a few false starts while going after this brass cap. First, we parked in the town of Frank and walked. Once we realized the cap was on the top of the cliff, we figured we would drive up to the interpretive center and access if from there...wrong! So we went back down the hill and Mrs. GeoK hopped out of the cachemobile at what looked like a reasonable access point. While the rest of the GeoKs headed back down to the outskirts of town to park in a safe area, Mrs. GeoK enjoy the walk along the little escarpment where she discovered the "in the clear" survery marker. E-mail with the required photo has already been sent. Thanks for setting up a cap in this historic area. 2010-06-15T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP148 Frank Slide Nice, quick climb up to this one.

On the return trip I managed to find somewhere right down by the highway. Then the question of just how to get up to the cap had to be answered. I'd seen that if I walked several hundred yards up the road that I could avoid rock climbing, but I wanted something closer, and I eventually found it. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> No rock climbing required! The cap was dead easy to find, and it's in great shape. Oh, and there's some good views, and not just of the slide either!

Mrs BVPete and I were camping at Waterton over the Thanksgiving weekend (plus a few extra days) and decided to take a day trip to the Frank Slide. I found this cap after we had spent quite a while exploring the Interpretive Center and area. I parked on the Center’s access road and made the quick scramble to the cliff top to find the cap. There was a very nice view of West Frank from the cap location.

Hmmm. How to get there? Where to park? Cuz there's a fence there! Fortunately, we found a spot just off the road, and near where there was a dirt road through the opening of the fence. So there we trekked, and found the cap without too much difficulty, even though it was getting dark - and starting to rain! Oh, well.

I keep forgetting to add them to my GPSer when downloading caches but I was on the ball this time around. I quickly found where I needed to be but didn't realize there was a brass cap "there" until I investigated further. Information will be sent to the C.O. shortly!

It was a bit of a challenge to remove the sand covering the cap as it is inside a pipe. A small vacuum cleaner would have been handy, but I managed.

I wasn't sure if there actually was a brass cap in the pipe until I started removing sand/dirt. Able to remove enough debris to read and photograph the numbers. Thanks. 2014-08-26T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP149 Lacombe We've been on this trail before looking for a cache. Walkers had just walked by in both directions and we took the opportunity to quickly clean out the hole with the cap before someone else came by. We were glad the nearby school hadn't started yet as we were sure it would be much busier here them. Thanks for another BCP in a beautiful area. 2014-08-02T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP149 Lacombe, well marked on the bike path. Great view of the lake.

As I was getting close to GZ I came across my niece who was running during her lunch hour. Together we looked for it, wiped away the sand and she read the numbers and year to me. TFTBC 2014-06-21T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP149 Lacombe There was no need of a GPS here--I'd noticed the markings shown in log pictures on previous walks on the trails, but those were dates BC (Before Capping) and they had no significance then. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> What was needed was a bit of nerve. There were people on the nearby bench, walkers, kids on bikes, tree climbers, soccer players and dog walkers. It took a walk-by to see that the muggles were going to be non-stop on such a nice Saturday afternoon and remember that stealth is not part of this cache. It's a hard habit to suspend. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Forewarned is forearmed. Previous logs (thanks vdD!) brought the prefect tool to mind. Lacking one of those, a less sophisticated implement was brought and it worked really well to clear a layer of dirt off the cap. However, the numbers remained unreadable. Time to bring in another never-before-employed tool which successfully brought the numbers out. As for the muggles, the group on the bench seemed to pay me little mind and soon returned to the soccer tournament. Most of the others slowed and said hello but none verbalized the questions written all over their faces! I smiled back as if this was what all the cool people were doing these days and then left the cap uncovered so they could come back and see what so *cap*tured my attention if they wished! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> This one turned out to be more fun than expected, thanks! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2013-09-27T20:00:00 Found it TeamDJM BCP149 Lacombe GPSr reads N52 28.437 W11344.091 Couldn't get all the dirt out of the hole so got partial info - Cap looked to be in good shape Email sent T4TBCP TeamDJM (5058) Lethbridge Alberta 2013-06-24T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP149 Lacombe We were in the area grabbing 100 caches on a Power Trail for The Cub, but my goal was 5 nearby brass caps. It took a round about route to find parking close by. As we approached GZ there was something quite obvious that just couldn't be a cap - more like a broken off sign pole. After looking around a while, we returned to the obvious spot and moved a little gravel and detritus and discovered brass. The numbers were still quite visible. Thanks for the Cap. Thanks for the hunt. Bearberry and The Cub. 2012-06-12T20:00:00 Found it RabidRider I found BCP149 Lacombe today after work.

We had a full day of caching planned because we never have time in and around Red Deer to try and hit some of the popular caches. We poped out to Bentley to grab a couple of caps and worked our way back into Red Deer via Highway 2A. An easy find and after a little clearing we had the required numbers and pic. What a nice area to have on the edge of school, luckily for us it was a no school Friday so we enjoyed the quiet and the views of the pond and wildlife. Thanks for the Cap, OFTH! 2011-08-19T20:00:00 Found it rubiconrunner BCP149 - Lacombe A neat way to preserve the brass. This cap is perfect!

A couple of soccer games were in full swing at the front of the building, but in the back it was blissfully quiet. This cap is hard to miss and shouldn't be going anywhere soon. Thanks for the cap. 2010-10-28T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP149 Lacombe Here I thought I was safe from any manner of muggle in that school was in and all the students would be hard at work! Not at all. I was so engrossed in cleaning the cap off that I did not realize a group of young students were pressing down on my location in great numbers. Most them then thought I was completely daft. Why would a grown man be kneeling in the middle of a walkway cleaning out a "hole". A couple of the stragglers stopped to ask what it was I was doing. I mentioned geocaching and a couple of them had done it in the past but they did not know about the Brass Capping aspect of the game. I explained; they told a few stories of their time(s) out and then one proceeded to tell me about a cache hiddin in the corn maze. Always glad to swap stories!

I had read several previous logs, so was ready for its unusual placement. It required quite a bit of work to clean up for its photo, a vacuum cleaner would have helped! Thanks for another cap in a pretty spot ofth. The numbers are hidden by Mrs BVPete and the dogs. 2009-06-13T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP149 - Lacombe Elev. 860 metres I visited this cap last August and came away convinced that it was gone. I found what I thought might be the pipe that the cap used to sit on. It was strongly magnetic, but there was nothing on top. I logged it as a possible find, got the okay, and didn't think anything more about it until I started looking at some of the older logs recently. The cap wasn't [i]on[/i] the pipe, it was [i]in[/i] the pipe. Why I didn't probe the debris in the pipe last summer, I don't know. Anyhow, I returned today and once again I had the area pretty much completely to myself. I discovered the cap beneath a very thin layer of debris. After cleaning the dirt out with a wet cloth, the cap was found to be in surprisingly good shape. The numbers are all clear and distinct and there are no major tool marks on the surface. The cap doesn't appear to be perfectly centred in the hole, and there is some sort of rubbery compound around the edge of the pipe that obscures the lettering around the cap's perimeter. I'm still not sure what the significance of the large metal ring surrounding the cap and pipe is, but it doesn't appear to be a manhole cover! Thanks for the cap (again). 2008-11-07T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP149 Lacombe N52° 28.437 W113° 44.091 The Canadian University College opened near Lacombe in 1909. Canadian University College is a Christian university offering over 20 fully accredited undergraduate degree, diploma and certificate programs. Though the original vision in 1909 was to establish a combined medical and educational institution, the medical centre never came to fruition at Lacombe. Arson destroyed three major buildings in May of 1930, but within the same year two larger ones of sturdier construction replaced them, and the school continued to operate. In 1993 the Chan Shun Science Centre was completed on the grounds of what had once been three large barns -- the old home of CUC's dairy processing plant. The town is also home to the Lacombe Research Centre where the first livestock breed developed in Canada, the Lacombe hog, was produced. The Lacombe Research Centre is one of a network of 19 national agricultural research centres operated by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The Centre conducts research in field crops and livestock production relevant to the central Alberta region. The Centre's main research focuses on the ante- and post-mortem factors that influence red meat: yield, quality, safety and preservation. The Centre also develops integrated, sustainable crop and animal production systems and crop varieties for the short-season environments of the Parkland and northwestern Canada. The Beaverlodge Research Farm and its sub-station Fort Vermilion are part of the Lacombe Research Centre and form the most northern agricultural research establishment in Canada. The Beaverlodge Research Farm specializes in research and development of technology for improved production systems for crops, honey bees and other pollinating insects adapted to environmental conditions in northwestern Canada. Research at the Fort Vermillion site focuses primarily on the adaptation of technologies for this northern agricultural area. This was another interesting stop on our brass cap induced tour of rural Alberta.

It's a couple of inches below the pavement, and if you try to move the dirt away, you can identify at least part of a cap, but some of the covering is more than just dirt, and it's really hard to remove what dirt there is from the hole. I saw one whole number, which is all I can report to OFTH. TFTC. 2005-04-10T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP149 - Lacombe We found this one. I think.

I've seen many other non-related brass caps, but recently we happened to be in Lacombe, noticed the virtual cache nearby and decided to check it out. The most recembling object in the vicinity was quite strange, not sure if it is hiding the cap somewhere under the lid? I'll upload a photo later. When logging the cache, looks like it was moved many times after my last download, or, rahter, more caps were added... Well, after confirming that we found what we found, I can now log it as a find! Reading more about this cache, I also figured out I could also do it much easier, just a few steps from my home! \|/._ [This entry was edited by igel on Monday, October 04, 2004 at 12:05:52 PM.] 2004-09-30T20:00:00 Found it terradoug BCP149 - Lacombe I also found the object that Igel described.

TFTC ofth! 2013-12-29T20:00:00 Write note Sleepy_hollow BCP151 Barrier Lake N51° 02.765 W115° 04.344 I visited the cap site this afternoon and the trail leading to the top is in excellent condition and snow shoes are not required - though micro spikes would be a good idea. The cap itself was sitting out in the open on a bare rock base at it's amazing location for views of the Barrier Lake area. The last 50 - 100 meters to the top are a little tricky - this is where you need the micro spikes and trekking poles. I'll post a couple of pictures of this fine location. 2013-08-18T20:00:00 Found it Thonor1 BCP151 Barrier Lake N51° 02.765 W115° 04.344 Neat hike today!

Thanks! 2012-11-17T20:00:00 Found it Iron Phoenix Okay, so this is my first logging of a Brass Cap. Hopefully I've got it figured out. I've stumbled on a couple without knowing what to do, but after stumbling on this one, I had to find out. BCP151 - Barrier Lake N51° 2.765', W115° 4.344' Guess I should email all this too. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_shock.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> TFTC! 2012-07-01T20:00:00 Found it j_peg BCP151 - Barrier Lake. Cap find #28. Incredibly easy find. Peg and I sat right next to it when we had our dinner break before continuing our loop down through Jewell Pass. Did not have my Oregon with us and weren't absolutely sure that this was the right one, but took a picture just in case. After reviewing the trail maps on the Oregon the following morning, we were pretty sure that we got it. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2010-09-18T20:00:00 Found it Scraphappyj BCP151 My first brass cap found while out caching with DLoubert in the area.

This one was much easier than our previous attmept, since there was nothing covering it and we were practically sitting on it to admire the view before we even started looking. What a view! TFTC. 2010-05-18T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP151 Barrier Lake We found at N51 02.766 W 115 04.344 Reception was great way up here! My notes got me confused, I thought I was looking for a cache and had dropped my pack almost on top of the cap and proceeded to look in all the likely cache hiding spots before I realized the mix-up and spotted the shiny thing. 2010-04-18T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP151 Barrier Lake Posted N51° 02.765 W115° 04.344 GPSr N51° 02.765 W115° 04.344 Mrs. TiE and Littlest TiE and myself hiked up to the Barrier Lookout and then completed the loop down Jewell Pass and back to parking along the lakeshore today. Between all our cache searching, hiding and other planned distractions we ended up hiking over 18km today. A record for both distance and elevation gain (630m) for littlest TiE. A cache was placed to recognize his accomplishment. A fine day on the trails as evidenced by the many hikers and bikers today. The cap itself is in an excellent spot with spectacular views of the lake and surrounding area. We had a chipmunk who seemed to be as interested in the cap as I was today. It was literally in my lap as I photo'd the cap. Very cool! Thanks for the cap OFTH. 2009-11-29T20:00:00 Found it rustywa BCP151 Barrier Lake A friend of mine took me on the barrier lake trail. Like the other caps I did not start out to find this cap, but rather stumbled upon the cap while looking for nearby caches. Since by background is geodetic engineer, I think I'll do many more caps. TFTH! 2009-06-16T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP151 Barrier Lake This is simply a great location for a Brass Cap offering up terrific panoramic views of lake/valley/mountains & as luck would have it the rain stopped suddenly & without warning to be replaced by blue skies...just perfect for the obligatory photo session. Find #3200! Thanks for the cap in such an outstanding location OFTH! 2008-09-07T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP151 - Barrier Lake Alt. 1896 metres A beautiful fall day, a great hike, and a cap at the top. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> All the lettering on the cap is very legible, even though there is some pitting covering the cap. Thanks for the cap and the hike! 2007-08-24T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP151 - Barrier Lake. N51° 02.765’ W115° 04.344’. I took the two dogs for a fast hike up to this brass cap on Barrier Mountain today, an area that I have visited many times in years past. I managed to beat my goal of reaching the cap in 1 hour by 12 seconds. I think you could hear me breathing from 500 meters away, but at least I was breathing! I had left early so I only met 3 people and that was on the way down. A beautiful day to be out in the mountains. Thank you ofth, for selecting this cap for your cache page, a truly grand location. 2007-08-18T20:00:00 Found it kophykupp BCP151 Barrier Lake Nothing special about the first one but the view from this one is spectacular. Very hazy from the forest fires though. 2007-08-18T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP151 - Barrier Lake This cap offers the best views of any of the ones I have done so far. Beautifully perched on the edge with great views of the lake below. Easy find and only a moderate hike to get to this spot. Now this is what capping is all about! 2006-08-06T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP151 Barrier Lake - had to work for this one, but managed to do a couple of caches up near the Barrier Lake fire lookout. Combined with the fantastic views, this hike was definitely worth it. 2006-06-19T20:00:00 Found it Viajero Perdido BCP151 Barrier Lake The name is a misnomer - the cap is actually high on a mountain, and you can see the lake far, far down below. This cap has the best view of any I've been to yet! Simply stunning. I'll do more caps like this if you have 'em in stock. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2005-07-15T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt.

This is Brasscap as when heck of a view 2005-06-14T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP151 Barrier Lookout N51 02.765 W115 04.346 Elev. 1894m lxxxi Well the 2.4 km crow flight from BCP173 turned into a 4.5 km switch-back trek. Thank goodness for the great trail up (well that last 200m wasn’t so great). I certainly got a good aerobic workout for this one. The lookout is no longer there. The old lookout tower that used to be there was originally a guard tower from across the valley in the POW camp during WWII. It was dismantled and place at this location. During the '80's itt was dismantled again and reassembled at the University Experimental Station back across the valley. How's that for a travelling watch tower? The metal structure now at the sight was used as a radio signal reflector to control the Seebee dams. Prior to the metal reflector, they used a wall of logs to achieve the same thing. Great views of K-country to the south and the Valley of the Bow to the west. Thanks again for the brass cap caches.

Nice view from this locale when the fog lifts. 2005-05-07T20:00:00 Found it Smrt_geer BCP151 Barrier Lake Redrouge Sr. and I got a fairly early start today and didn't see one other soul out there until we approached this cap. We pretty much had to ask the guy sitting on it to move so we could get the numbers. Without the clouds, this is a fantastic view!! We were lucky enough to catch the view on the way down. Thanks for the great cap! 2005-04-30T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP151 Back dated log entry as I forgot to log it at the time. Found this one on a great little hike with XRN95, Ting, nicolo, Red90, and CBMocha. 2005-04-30T20:00:00 Found it CBMocha Visited the cap a few times but never logged it...until now!

Even though it was a lot of climbing and I needed lots of rests, the view from the top was worth all the sweat. Great cap find, thanks OFTH. 2005-04-30T20:00:00 Found it Red90 N 51° 02.765 W 115° 04.344 BCP151 Barrier Lake Yep, I was there too. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_approve.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2005-04-30T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP151 Barrier Lake Ahhh... the dreaded climbing-day has come. Actually, it was a fairly pleasant hike up to this cap. The scenery was outstanding, especially when we made it up to the top (with lots of huffing and puffing). The trip was done with Red90, Ibycus + Erwin, XRN95 (a glutton for punishment...2nd time climbing this hill!), Nicolo and CBMocha who met us in the parking lot. A decent outing was had by all, just so long as we don't see a new micro-cache suddenly appear in the next few days... right Nicolo? <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_evil.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> No sense all of us e-mailing the required info to OFTH, so we've delegated this task to Nicolo. Nice Hike! 2005-02-26T20:00:00 Found it j2d2 BCP151 - Barrier Lake Lookout Boy, am I ever out of shape! Fantastic day out in the mountains with little wind. Could have worn shorts. Trail was snow covered and the last push through the rocks was very icy. Always great views of the lake and mountains here. 2004-11-23T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP151- Barrier Lookout Wow talk about an amazing view. Convinced a few friends to do a hike with me. The trail was covered in snow about halfway up the boots for most of the time. It made for some unsure footing in places (mostly above the cap). This would be my favorite cap so far!!!! The hike is worth the view!! Remembered to bring my camera but should have brought one with good batteries! Thanks for this cap!! 2004-11-13T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP151 - Barrier Lookout A fantastic November day to find what may be one of my top-five caps. The cap isn't right at the summit, but it has a very airy feel to it and the views back to the lake and Mount Baldy are sublime. TFTBC! 2004-09-04T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi Barrier Lookout Many thanks to OFTH for providing a cap to find when we planned to hike to the lookout. The hike was pretty pleasant, although the last 100 feet prior to the cap were, shall we say, challenging! But the view from the cap was absolutely worth it. Then we hiked further to the lookout - love that 360 degree view. Came back down, and chased down a couple more caches, and got back to Calgary tired and hungry - and hobbling a bit (arthritic knees keep asking why I make them do this kind of stuff!!). 2004-09-04T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc Barrier Lake We decided to visit another Fire Lookout and asked for a convenient brass cap, this one is at the high point of the Prairie View trail, just 600 Meters for the Barrier Lookout. Excellent day for a 12 km hike in Kananaskis. My question is can any one explain the big bill board like fixture that is up here. It's not obviously visible in any direction from down below and there is nothing written on it. 739.192 2005-04-21T02:00:00-06:00 BCP152 Camrose by outforthehunt, Benchmark (2/1) http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP152.html Camrose Geocache Geocache|Benchmark Camrose outforthehunt outforthehunt Benchmark Virtual 2 1 Canada Alberta <a href='http://brasscap.albertabattlecache.ca/capbreakdown/BCP152.html'TARGET='resource window'>Past Finds for BCP152</a> <a href='https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=17395&LogType=2'TARGET='resource window'>Log Your Find</a> IN COBBLESTONE WALK 33 CM BGL, IN A COBBLESTONE WALK 33 CM BGL, IN A MANHOLE WITH COVER 6.5M SOUTH OF THE C/L OF 49 AVE; 10M WEST OF THE C/L OF 50 ST; 5.85M NE OF THE NE COR OF THE TORONTO DOMINION BANK BLDG; Elevation 739.192 m Horz Datum NAD83 Latitude 53 01 14.23753 dms Longitude 112 49 31.38004 dms 2017-04-30T20:00:00 Found it GeoGuider BCP152 Camrose Posted: N 53° 01.237 W 112° 49.523 My GPSr: N 53° 01.236 W 112° 49.521 Email and numbers sent.

The biggest day for us for cap finds ever. We really do enjoy where the caps take us. No subtlety about finding this cap on a Friday afternoon. And not one person even asked or indicated we might be out of place. Are people really that oblivious, or is it the small town charm that everything is just right. Thanks for the caps. 2017-04-21T20:00:00 Found it Team Pixos Bcp152 Camrose Absolutely no way to be subtle at this one, yet no one gave us a second glance.

We love never knowing what each experience will bring. Thanks for the caps 2017-04-17T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP152 Camrose Mrs BVPete and I went on a very long 875km drive to pick up a few caps. This was the first and it was obviously a quick find in downtown Camrose. I had hoped most of the snow would be gone as the next cap was in the middle of Kensington Park and would be a bit trickier than this one. Thanks for the cap ofth, I don't know why I didn't get this one the last time we passed though Camrose but it is in the bag now. 2017-04-03T20:00:00 Found it JREnarson BCP152 - Camrose Like many others, we were saddened to hear about the news of the coming archival of this excellent Virtual cache. But this also created a fire within to get out and find as many brass caps before the cache is gone for good. This despite the chilly wind that was out today. Found 2 brass caps earlier today over the lunch break. After work, decided to go find a couple more. First on the post-work radar was BCP152 Camrose. Was a bit confused when we first arrived at site when there was no brass cap to be found. But then the water valve cover seemed a bit out of place, and sure enough, it was hiding a brass cap. Due to the darkness down the hole, as well as some scratchings on the cap, we weren't able to read the engravings on the cap. However, given J's work with the City's engineering department, he has access to other information that will prove that he was there (i.e. the ASCM marker number). He will send this info to OFTH this evening. Thanks for bringing us out here, and for maintaining & updating this interesting Virtual cache for so long. It will be surely missed!! 2017-04-02T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP152 Camrose, 741m A music festival has started in Camrose today.

We were able to make a quick find TFTC 2015-06-08T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv Found BCP152 Camrose. I can see how this place could be busy but we were here in the evening so only a few vehicles drove by. Found the manhole cover quickly and lifted it out to check out the cap. Another cool cap in a neat spot. TFTBC <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2015-06-04T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP152 Camrose We got up early this morning to find this cap before it got busy downtown. We spotted the cap down a hole after the cover was removed and quickly snapped our pictures. As a friend said there are surely cameras around here because of the bank. But no one seemed to notice us. Whew...rest easy Black Sharks we didn't get arrested...LOL thanks for the fun Outforthehunt. 2015-05-20T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP152 Camrose We knew this cap was often submerged and if we failed to see it we would call it a DNF. Thus, we came equipped with a large rag and a small bailing container. The first challenge was to remove the cover. The notches on top took some digging to clear enough dirt so we could get a good grip. That done, it was not hard to lift. As at the other Camrose cap, someone came up from behind us: Was there something she could help us with as she used to be with the water department? We explained that there was actually a survey marker there (she was surprised) and we were able to show her. YES, there it sat slightly above a metallic looking puddle of "water"!! She accepted our explanation and didn't question the reason for our interest! Pleasantries were exchanged and everyone went about their business. We needed to wipe off the cap, a bit of a challenge with dirt blowing in on top as fast as we could remove it. The corrosive bath it often finds itself immersed in is doing no favours to its surface. Later, we laughed at our lack of reluctance to tackle this cap. Mid-day on a weekday downtown in front of a bank is not quiet or muggle free. That's a refreshing aspect of this cache--no need for stealth, although it took some time to feel comfortable breaking that habit! We might have thought more about the angle bank security cameras were capturing us from, though! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks, ofth, for the Camrose caps which reminded us how helpful, concerned and trusting people can be, most people really. That's more precious than a majestic panorama or an historical monument!! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2015-01-24T20:00:00 Found it antoncache BCP 152- Barrier Lake Lookout.

Mr. CanoeHead wrestled the heavy lid off the cap and then I proceeded to bale. We drew a few curious onlookers but I think most thought we were crazy and didn't hang around. Due to the considerable water in the hole, we were unable to obtain the digits but did get the photos. 2011-07-15T20:00:00 Found it dronnord BCP 152 Camrose Well I was pretty perplexed at this cap. It is right in front of a bank in the landscaped area and I was unable to pry the Cover off of it.Of course being on my way to the MEGA in my wifes truck I had no tools just suitcases etc. If I am to believe that there is a Brass Cap under a water valve cover then so be it I shot N 53 01.234 W 112 49.522 Elev = 741m 2010-09-25T20:00:00 Found it narloth BCP152 - Camrose We found this cap in downtown Camrose under a very heavy cover. Losmir was volunteered to lift the cover, which was not very easy, given its weight and especially as it was outside a bank and there were plenty of curious muggles around. Cap was under several inches of water, but we had nothing to bail with, so condition of cap is unknown.

Unfortunately, the cap was submerged in about 4 inches of water and we didn't have anything to bail with... (Note to self, add bailing equipment to the cap hunting kit). I did confirm that the cap was in there by prodding with my screwdriver... here's hoping that that will be acceptable for a find. Now, back to the event caches!

Got some interesting looks bailing water out of a hole in sidewalk TFTH 2009-10-26T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP152 Camrose After removing the cover & baling the water out of the hole, it was still difficult to get any useful numbers off this cap today. TFTCap 2009-10-24T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP152 Camrose Posted N53° 01.237 W112° 49.523 GPSr N53° 01.233 W112° 49.519 Well I knew what I was in for on this one. Manhole... busy street corner... potential for water... going to look silly... Got to GZ and spotted the manhole right away. Waited out a few folks standing by the bank and then went for the cover. It came off surprisingly quick using my new prybar (finally bought the right one). Of course the hole was filled with 6+ inches of water. There was a half a pop can floating in the hole that must have been a bailer on a previous visit. Ignoring that, I pulled out a piston squirt gun I brought just for this occasion and was able to draw in all the water on one pull. I cleared the gross muck as best I could and read what numbers I could make out. What a beat up cap for one protected in a manhole. I released the liquid back in the hole to not mess up the sidewalk (sorry to the next cap hunter) and got the heck out of there. Thanks for another urban cap adventure! 2009-06-12T20:00:00 Found it garlic gulpers BCP 152 camrose....wow what a busy spot! Thanks for the cap! 2008-10-10T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP152 - Camrose Alt. 745 metres Stealth was pretty much out of the question with this one, so I just acted like I pulled up mini-manhole covers and peered down into them every day. Oh wait.... never mind. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blush.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I didn't have any trouble getting the cover off, and the cap wasn't submerged (today), but it is in pretty bad shape. Many of the numbers on the cap are no longer legible. I wonder how it got to be in such bad shape, given that it's covered in a hole. I left the improvised baler I found in the hole in case the next person finds the water level higher than I did today. Thanks for the cap. 2008-03-03T20:00:00 Found it forestfyre07 BCP152 ~ Camrose quick last find of the night. wouldnt wanna do this one on a busy day. headed back in a nasty snowstorm, which caused us to spend the night in wetaskiwn instead of heading back to red deer. 2008-02-12T20:00:00 Found it Plan - B BCP152 10:59 Took awhile for me to find time to log this one.

My GPSr was showing 1 meter away so ... 2006-03-05T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP152 - Camrose We found the covered cap on the cobblestone sidewalk in central Camrose.

There's no way they needed two water covers so this must have been the cap. 2005-10-23T20:00:00 Found it Mr. Speedy BCP152 - Camrose Intersting... This one doesn't use a standard survey monument manhole cover. Maybe they ran out of that kind of cover! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Unfortuntaly, this one could not be opened, sealed shut.

Got about 2 klicks into the 7km journey down the "road" and encountered several barriers, that even though we own a jeep, didnt wanna take them and run into something worse later. As luck would have it somewhere where we turned around the jeep we must have royally pissed off some hornets as the literally stalked us the entire 2 klicks back to the highway. Crazy! Found the much more user friendly southern access road and followed it right to the cap. Murphys law saw to it that there was a family camping right at that spot (of all the random camping spots they had to park in that one..lol) We skirted the edge of their camp though and snapped the requisite pic. One of our more inetersting cap stories to date, but it did give us grat opportunity to test our new jeep on some of these back mountain roads :) tftc forestrogue fyre 2009-08-15T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP153 - Moberly Ranger Station Elev. 1327 metres The road north from the main intersection was fairly rough and very narrow, and I'm glad I didn't meet anyone coming the other way. Someone still uses this meadow for something; there were many, many, many tire tracks in the grass. Campers perhaps? In any case, there was no sign that there once was a building here. I spotted the MP right away, and the above ground cap shortly thereafter. It's in very good shape with only a few very minor marks on its surface. As it was nearing sunset on a rainy day, there wasn't much in the way of views, but it was still a pretty and quiet spot. Thanks for the cap in the country. 2009-07-04T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP153 Moberly Ranger Station We ended up in a nice meadow with 2 young bucks and a doe checking us out. 2009-04-25T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP153 - Moberly Ranger Station Well this one was quite the adventure, as there was 4 - 6 inches of snow on the ground, and plenty more in the air during my visit. I followed the main access road to the T-intersection and then a secondary road for about one kilometre. There was plenty of snow, mud and potholes on the road which led me to within 75 metres of the cap site. The shovel again came in handy and the cap was quickly uncovered. Just a very cool spot with the near by creek. I'll have to return in the summer to pick up the higher elevation caps as the old car isn't that great on the narrow, icy, snow covered roads in the area.

It was not supposed to be the last cap but the City recently took out a major road coming into this area so the NUVI was confused to say the least. By the time we realized that "she" had taken us in a big circle we needed to stop and study some maps. We eventually found our way over to this fantastic view of a new community and a great looking Golf Course. After getting the required info and attempting to get into Caps 259 and 681 we decided the supper stop needed to be done. Those two caps are accessible but we would of had to walk a fair ways for sure to get them and at the end of the day we still needed to drive back to High River. So off to Timmy`s (where else?) then The drive back and it was a great day. Cap # 23 to end a great day Thanks to OFTH and VDD and PDOPS.

Probably would have been better in daylight though. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blackeye.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Took a while to find in the dark, but eventually I did spot it! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_shock.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> TFTCap!! 2012-07-05T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx BCP155 Lethbridge Arghh!!: Ack!!

It took a bit of searching, but i finally made the find! TFTH 2011-09-09T20:00:00 Found it Northof49 Had a bit of a hunt for BCP 155 but was easy to find none the less.

It was nicely perched over a very exclusive looking neighbourhood, surrounded by a golf course. I never could understand the attraction of living right in the middle of a golf course, but obviously I am in the minority on this opinion. Thanks again ofth. 2010-10-29T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP155 Lethbridge Another nice short walk that ended with a great view.

Thanks for the cap. 2007-10-12T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP155 - Lethbridge Of course, standing at BCP286 I realized this one was the next closest -- it just happened to be on the other side of the river where I just came from. Oh well, it's only gasoline. City Navigator 2008 NT took me on an interesting route to get here, right through a open field and then into a new subdivision. Once I got to the location it was a quick find. As seemed to be the theme today, a great view from the top of hill.

Unfortunately, he'd been there for a couple of hours and was having problems with his equipment. I graciously offered him the use of my GPS that showed 9 meters out but he declined. His equipment, when working, gives an accuracy of millimeters. Boy, how do we common folk get one of those without breaking the bank?

To west Lethbridge I want for this one. I lived in Lethbridge from 1978 - 1988 and west Lethbridge has grown like gangbusters!

We found the cap quickly due to a very obvious telltale, but we were prepared for a more difficult search! Thanks for another fine cap ofth, to Red90 for showing us the way and Scouterherb for driving us here. 2009-10-03T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP156 - Ghost River Elev. 1546 metres A group of us, led by Red90 had hiked out to check on his Devil's Gap cache on this first snowy day of the season. We'd intended to go up after BCP071 (Devils Gap) afterwards, but the continuing snow, low clouds, and the hour at which we got back to the trail head combined to put the kibosh on that plan. BCP156, however, would not escape BVPete and I -- at least, assuming we could convince our driver, ScouterHerb, to stop for a bit. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> We both headed down to ground zero with nothing more than high hopes, our GPSrs and cameras. From what I remembered of previous logs, this one was in a hole in the ground, with no marker pole left to indicate its position. You might think we'd have needed pokey sticks, compasses and perhaps even a shovel -- there was, after all, several inches of fresh snow on the ground! But no worries; BVPete spotted the small hole that the relatively warm cap had melted through the snow cover, and after the least little bit of brushing the snow off, the cap was revealed in all its glory. The cap is in remarkably good shape, especially when you consider the broken-off and bent-down remnant of the marker pole it sits beside. We saw Takin it Easy's abandoned vehicle, still there, now covered in snow. The snow that had been falling all day had let up, and the low clouds had lifted enough to allow a beautiful view across the valley. Thanks for the cap outforthehunt -- and we'll be back for the Devils Gap cap soon! 2009-09-10T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP156 Ghost River Posted N51° 16.262 W115° 02.878 GPSr N51° 16.265 W115° 02.878 Coming up from the south, the nav system on the Nuvi had us go through Morley and then up a gravel road to the west (as opposed to the Forestry Road 40 route). That road sure became interesting with some water filled spots and areas where a low clearance vehicle would bottom out. We had the geobeast with us so there was no worries and we soon came out on the paved Richards Road which hit 40 just near the turn off to the cap. The road to the cap opened up to some great views. There was very little traffic today and we made a lot of stops for photos. We arrived at the cap site and spotted a vehicle parked right by GZ. We didn't drive this far to turn around, so we approached the area to realize the truck had no plates and appeared abandoned. The area looks like a popular campsite. We found the bent GP in a depression full of rocks and surrounded with what looked like shot gun shell casings? The cap was right next to the rocks and easily cleaned up for the photo. The views from the area were spectacular. There were lots of similar spots that looked like great camp sites with a view. A great drive. Thanks for the cap! 2009-09-09T20:00:00 Write note van der Decken BCP156 - Ghost River As soon as I turned off of #40 onto the optimistically named "road", I knew there was no way my little car was going to handle 9km of that surface. The potholes were big, deep, numerous and hungry. Even trying it at 30 km/hr was no fun. I carefully turned around at the first opportunity and headed home. 2009-07-26T20:00:00 Found it Nika05 BCP 156 Ghost River, Last day camping out here...thanks for the caps found with Garlic Gulpers and Forestfyre07 Pictures with there logs 2009-07-26T20:00:00 Found it garlic gulpers BCP 156 Ghost River, Last day camping out here...thanks for the caps 2009-07-26T20:00:00 Found it forestfyre07 bcp156 ghost river out for a drive this morning with mr gg and nika to get some caches in the area before heading home today. cap was in the middle of a campsite, but luckily no one was there anymore. took some digging with a fork and piece of clay target we found to expose the cap. tftc forestrogue fyre 2008-07-05T20:00:00 Didn't find it DanOCan BCP156: Ghost River No luck with this one. The GPSr zeroed out right by the survey post but I was lacking proper digging tools to further excavate the hole. Some poking with sticks revealed a lot of broken glass but no brass. This appears to be a popular spot with random campers (it's almost in the "road" and someone had driven over the survey post) so it doesn't surprise me it has gotten covered over in the two years since it was last found. Maybe some other time when I have more tools and time. 2006-07-22T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP156 - Ghost River Was heading out to Black Rock, and noticed this one within a stones throw of the road. Pulled over and ran down to the cap. Don't know what the heck took me so long with this cap, it was plain as day, but I spent a good minute poking around the hole for it. Lots of pokey sticks and what not had been left in the hole, and I assumed that it was by other cachers. Was glad to find the cap, as it turned out to be my only find for the day (was way too hot, and we ran out of water, so I had to turn back from the summit.) 2006-05-07T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP156 Ghost River Nice view of the river valley from the cap.

We topped it off with an evening bike ride, a couple of caps and a few other good things! Not cache filled, but not cache-less either. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> We knew this cap had been recently found and we appreciated Manjalou's work to clear it off. It needed no digging and minimal clearing to completely reveal it for pictures. After our bike ride we met some friends at Dairy Queen. This may have cancelled some of the healthy benefits but certainly contributed to having a Good Day. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Chocolate was enjoyed! Chocolate is nearly as good as caching. Or is it the other way around? <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for the caps which were a good part of our day and led, quite directly, to other forms of goodness! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks also to the well wisher, the DQ visit inspirer and the friends who joined us, cachers all! Cachers are such great people! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2014-08-26T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP157 Red Deer We had just finished a delicious BBQ meal when Mr. ManjaLou suggested that we probably had time to find a couple of more BCPs. Dishes were left for later and away we went. It was too beautiful an evening to waste indoors anyway. We noticed a big divot but it needed a fair bit of cleaning up to reveal the cap. Meanwhile we were trying to be quiet and hurrying a little as the little dog in the yard across from the cap was barking occasionally to let us know he was keeping an eye on us. Thankyou Outforthehunt for setting up the BCPs and Vanderdecken for keeping the Stats.

Couldn't find it where the GPS was showing so ended up doing the Chief cache down the hill. On the way back, decided to pull over and have another look.

Yes we were and thankfully we got to give up on digging out garbage. Losmir got a little hurt prying the cover off, but managed to dig through dirt and made the find. Cap is in excellent condition thatnks to its protected location. TFTBC!! 2010-09-24T20:00:00 Found it Losmir BCP158 - Drumheller Location: N51 27.824 W112 42.389 Elevation: 680m Like many others, we initially thought that the cap was within the nearby planter... it was stuffed full of garbage (and particularly disgusting garbage at that). As we walked around the planter, we spotted the aptly labeled "Survey Monument" cover. The cover was wedged in quite well and I had to resort to prying the cover off. As I lifted the cover, somehow it bit me on the knuckle... I guess it didn't want to give up the treasure inside. We had to remove about three inches of fresh dirt from inside before the cap was visible. The uncovered cap turned out to be in excellent shape due to its protected location. We took the required pictures and replaced the cover, leaving satisfied with the find, but somewhat injured.

No one paid any attention at all to the obviously crazy man crouched at the corner taking pictures of a hole. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> TFTC. 2008-05-04T20:00:00 Found it Plan - B BCP158 - Drumheller 15:28 Our only cap find on our 500 finds breaking day.

TFTB. 2006-09-23T20:00:00 Found it hurley_108 BCP158: Drumheller Got an odd look from a kid crossing the street as I kicked the cover shut. =] 2006-09-07T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP158 - Drumheller I'd tried this one once before, and somehow managed to miss it. That concrete block with all the trash stuffed in it looks like such a good candidate for where the cap might be hiding. Still don't know how the three of us missed this one before though. Thanks! 2006-07-16T20:00:00 Found it kokoscoot Someone gave me the coords for the BCP in downtown drumheller (not 302) - I found it today but I don't have the cap #.

I am still chuckling over our first attempt on Friday nite. Here is this determined cacher (DanOCan being the gentleman he is) digging deeeeep in a light post hole, up to his upperarms deep... determined to find that cap! Folks driving by looking and wondering what are these nuts doing with all this garbage out all over??? Then suddenly as if in reverse starts stuffing it all back down the hole! It was too funny...but the funniest part was the DanOCan's and I "DOH" were all standing on top of the darn Brass Cap and we did not see a thing. 2006-07-15T20:00:00 Found it CBfan BCP158 same witnesses and before thanks 2006-07-15T20:00:00 Found it BearGPS Drumheller BCP158 Heard there was one here last night that wasn't found (though I saw the pile of garbage left there last night by an unnamed cacher Dan-O-Can [oops, named then]. Found it handily and bragged loudly only to find that 3jaze had been by in the morning to sweep some dust <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blush.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. My first BCP! 2006-07-15T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP158 - Drumheller Took us two attempts to get this one. The Friday evening we stopped by and I thought the cap was in the bottom of the planter/cairn/thing on the corner of the street. The planter was full of trash -- cigarette butts, plastic cups, everything. I was pulling all this crap out and piling it on top of the concrete...when the mess got too wet and slimy I gave up...hmm, now what to do with all this mess? I had no trash bag so I ended up shoving everything back in the hole. We came back the next afternoon after getting word we were wrong. Sure enough, this time we walked up and saw the cover with the words "Survery Marker" written on it. We popped the lid, wrote down the numbers and bailed -- just as a woman from Reptile World came out to start cleaning trash out of the planter thing! What a coincidence! Forgot to snap a waypoint, but the numbers will be emailed to you soon. 2006-07-15T20:00:00 Found it Cymbc BCP158 - Drumheller 2006-07-15T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP158 - Drumheller An easy find, if you have a strong finger to lift a little manhole!

Accessing the cap itself may be a little more difficult without an official disguise ! Thanks for the cache OFTH.

The Canoehead looks up, sees the 'Repitle House' and becomes a quivering mass of fear ... not very impressive for a super hero! I guess snakes are his 'kryptonite'. [This entry was edited by Mr. CanoeHead on Saturday, December 31, 2005 at 10:00:42 PM.] 2005-12-26T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP158 - Drumheller. We are obviously not as ambitious, or as well equipped as RedRouge, we left the ice in place and took a photo. TFTH. 2005-12-26T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP158 Drumheller We had to chip away a layer of ice over the cover. Had a great day in the Drumheller valley. 2005-10-30T20:00:00 Found it Smrt_geer BCP158 - Drumheller Found in the shadow of the terrible lizard. It was nice and quiet in downtown Drumheller today.

After talking to Nicolo, I realized why it was a no go last time. Cap was too muddy to get a get set of numbers so I have the pic. Thanks OFTH!! 2005-10-02T20:00:00 Found it Mr. Speedy BCP158 - Drumheller One of many cache/cap done during our Calgary/Drumheller cache raid. Even though this one was hiding under a manhole, it was a little difficult to find as the leaves were covering the manhole pretty good. It looks like this one is in a "dual" man hole. A regular-size survey monument manhole and then a mini-manhole inside. The inside manhole has no cover, though. TFTC. Mr. Speedy 2005-09-03T20:00:00 Found it ScouterHerb & MrsB N51 27.824, W112 42.386 BCP 158 Drumheller - Found with Discant. Box it was hiding in was obscurred by grass and weeds, and was full of dirt, but a little digging exposed the Cap. Probably got some strange looks from people in vehicles passing by when the seen the crazy's digging in the dirt by the sidewalk. 2005-08-24T20:00:00 Found it Bush Creatures BCP 158 N51 27.822 W112 42.387 2005-08-15T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP158 - Drumheller N51 27.823 W112 42.386 A quick find tonight on our trip through Drumheller. 2005-08-06T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP158 Drumheller N51 27.826 W112 42.390 Elev:686m. Well this puppy was a long time coming. I just happened to scuff the boots in the right place and the overburden slid off. A good way to start the day into east central Alberta. TFT cap. 2005-07-19T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx BCP158; Drumheller I must have the best job going; enroute to doing a powerline survey in Forestburg, we had to stop in Drumheller while the boss conferred with the Project Manager; I managed to borrow the truck, head downtown and snag this cap. TFTC, OFTH!! 2005-06-18T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP158 - Drumheller Ok, way too much rain in Calgary. We had to get somewhere a bit drier for the day, and pick up a few caches while we were at it. The rain caught up to us in Drumheller, but we managed to find a few before it got too bad. This cap was tough. The little manhole was covered with water and dirt, so I didn't even see that it was there at first. I saw the brick thing with the hole in the middle and thought the cap might be down that hole at first. Unfortunately, the hole was full of disgusting garbage so I wasn't willing to pull it out to look. Then I spied the finger hole for the manhole cover on the ground. Brushed the dirt off, pulled off the cover and voila! A hole full of water. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_sad.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Hmm, now what? Found an old styrofoam cup and used it to scoop out the water. Eventually I managed to expose the cap enough to grab the numbers. Thanks for the cap! 2005-06-11T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP158 ( Drumheller ) N51° 27.823 W112° 42.386 Got it this time! The last time here XNR95, ibycus and I were unable to find it, now I know why. It's a tad below pavement level and is easily covered. I looked for this one for about 45 minutes, then I called a co-worker and got balloonatic's cell and gave him a call - he found this one already. Got some good ideas from him and continued the search. Saw a small depression in the general area where my GPSr zeroed out and gave it a scuff with my boot ... Eureka! 2005-04-30T20:00:00 Found it balloonatic BCP158 Drumheller The winds where too high to fly both Friday and Saturady so mrs. b, rayzor and I went caching. This one is near a highly recommended tourist site. You should stop in if your getting this cap. 2004-10-14T20:00:00 Write note Tommi Potx With Laundry Lady<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_kisses.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> off to a librarians conference, and with the kids on 1/2 day of school<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_evil.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> what better way to keep them [and me<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_tongue.gif" border="0" align="middle" />] out of trouble and learn something at the same time?

I totally fit in though, in my ripped geocaching coat, iron maiden shirt and rubber boots .... :) Which might have been my sweet talking downfall... I tried to convince 3 security guards to allow me to go find the spot, escourted of course, all of them looking at me strangely when i tried to explain what i wanted :) Finally the Seargant says 'ya we cant do that, but you're here for the tour right?' ... 'yes sir, i'm here for the tour'! :) which is in 45 minutes, i missed the cut, but that allowed me to run out and grab 2 other caches in the area and run back. I'm actually glad I went on the tour, learned some cool stuff, and snapped off all sorts of pictures. I think i might come back next weekend and let Thing 1 go through the tour :) I admitted to the tour guide my alterior motive for tour and she knew exactly what i wanted and snapped my final money shot of the 'magic spot' for me :) 2017-03-23T20:00:00 Found it Team Pixos BCP159 Edmonton Fond this while touring the legislature with Girl Guides. Didn't get a picture of me at the cap but did get a picture of me sitting at Premier Notleys desk. TFTC 2016-07-03T20:00:00 Found it j0ckser BCP159-Edmonton GPSr not available due to interference Cap is blank. Email with info sent. GeoGuider and I were making the most of the Canada Day long weekend. We picked up several BCPs, including this one. Several cachers have noted that the security staff are unaware of our hobby and refuse to let anyone in unless they are on tour. We got lucky, as a kind member of the Legislature security staff accompanied us to the 3rd floor to the ‘magic spot’. TFTC OFTH. 2016-07-03T20:00:00 Found it GeoGuider BCP159 Edmonton (5th Floor of the Legislative Building) Posted: N53° 32.022 W113° 30.397 My GPSr: Too much interference inside the building It’s Canada Day long weekend. What better time to go visit the provincial legislative building. The last time I was here, I had to enter through a side entrance. Today, we were welcomed through the front door. When we arrived, there was a tour just starting. They run tours every hour for about 30-45 minutes, depending on the number of questions. A very nice security guard took us up to the 5th floor, where on the north side, we could see the “magic spot” – an acoustical phenomenon with fabulous acoustics where you can hear the fountain from below as if it’s raining overhead. The acoustics in this place are amazing. We took several pictures at this spot. On the tour, you’ll learn that the original mace was made for about $150 from a mug, a toilet float, bits of an old bed and some gold paint; it was used for 50 years. It’s definitely worth a visit. As we were leaving, we pointed out the First Post for Alberta; that was news to our security guard…and he’s been working there for three years. Thanks for bringing us here OTFH. 2016-07-03T20:00:00 Found it chevyragtop BCP159 Edmonton Historic Week in Edmonton had its launch today at the Alberta Legislature building. We have been on a tour of this magnificent building before but took the the tour again. As each time there are interesting facts to learn about the building and the history of government in the province. As the tour ended we were at the "magic spot" yes the brass cap. Thanks for the BC in a very cool spot. 2016-03-03T20:00:00 Found it CanadianRockies BCP159 - Edmonton Posted: N53 32.022 W113 30.397 Enjoyed a nice solo tour of the Legislative Building. Interesting learning about all the quirky traditions and history. Fun listening to the fountain's water in the "magic spot." Thanks for adding this brass cap to the list. Much appreciated. 2016-01-22T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP159 Edmonton Posted: N53° 32.022 W113° 30.397 GPSr: N53° 32.022 W113° 30.406 This cap has been on the to do list for quite some time. The first time we went in we were told the only way in past security was on a tour or to sit in the gallery and we didn't have time for that. When we went the next time for a tour, the upper floors were being renovated and were not accessible. This time we arrived with plenty of time and got on the noon tour with a great guide all to ourselves. We learned a lot about the way business in the chamber is conducted and the customs. Apparently words banned from the chamber remain banned through time. You still cannot call someone a "scalawag" in the chamber. We also learned that the original mace that was only supposed to be used for a week was made of plumbing parts for $150. It's rumoured the base is a toilet tank float. It ended up being used for 50 years. When we got to the magic spot and the cap, they turned on the fountain for a great lesson in sound physics. Very cool. So was finally seeing the cap in the Alberta Legislature! A great cap location and a great tour to accompany it. Thanks OFTH! 2015-09-28T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP159 Edmonton Out today with the goal of picking up this Brass Cap and also enjoying the Legislative Grounds. Both missions accomplished. For me the highlight of the tour was the two ceremonial maces which commence meetings. One old and made from everyday household items and one is very new and shiny. This was a lot of fun, TFTC! 2015-09-12T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP159 Edmonton This was our favourite brass cap of the day! As ManjaLou and ourselves moved along with a small group of other tourists we were amused by the story of the resourcefulness and practicality of the Province's first Mace, stunned by the moving picture of Queen Mary and soaked up the history and beauty of the building. When we reached the cap we quietly pounced on it while the guide spoke of other things. She was bemused when she turned to see what we were doing but much less bewildered than the others in the group, I suspect. (They politely didn't inquire about what we were doing crouched on the floor with cameras, GPSs and mascots!) Then we lined up for our turn to stand and appreciate this cap's other unique aspect! It was underwhelming and a bit disappointing to enter the Legislature Building via a discreet door into the basement rather than the main door, even knowing the reason for the change, but we were delighted to exit by that door onto a wonderful scene. The sunshine still shone brightly, it had warmed up a few degrees and a good number of people were enjoying the grounds in a variety of touristy and typical ways to appreciate any park. They were even wading and playing in the reflecting pool which had previously been so unruffled and formal! A bit more lively than an hour before. Thanks, outforthehunt, for the three caps that brought us here for an excellent experience and the highlight of our Edmonton Search Party with ManjaLou! This entry was edited by Black Shark on Sunday, 13 September 2015 at 22:50:45 UTC. 2015-09-12T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP159 Edmonton We had a wonderful day of caching with the Black Sharks! This was one of our favourite stops of the day. We enjoyed the tour of the inside of the building. It was a very informative with a great tour guide. What a beautiful building. When we reached the 3rd floor we stopped at the Magic Spot. Our tour guide was explaining what the Magic Spot was when we put down our GPSs and preceded to take pictures. She stopped mid-sentence in her explanation and said " Geocachers"! We all laughed and she went on with her talk. Thankyou so much for setting this one up Outforthehunt. I don't think we would have ever come here if it hadn't been for this cap! 2015-06-14T20:00:00 Found it Kiwibirdman BCP159 Edmonton Found on a tour today. Been here three times now. Never knew this was technically a cap! TFTH! 2014-11-03T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP159 Edmonton This cap is not about simply finding another piece of brass, but getting up close and personal to one of the finest buildings in the province. The three of us who grabbed the early tour at Nine o'clock in the morning, the first tour of the week were treated to a feast of history , artifacts, artwork and stories to remember. These hallowed halls contain more interesting history than you can wrap your head around and our able guide required little persuasion to bring out many interesting tidbits of information. After coming here in search of brass, the bonus was walking away with a new appreciation for the architecture, construction and history of this fine place. Highly recommended. TFTCap ofth 2014-09-22T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP159 Edmonton dronnord and I had a great time taking the tour of the legislature, my first time to do that. We were the first to start waiting for the next upcoming tour and we learned that both young, personable tour guides (who must spell each other off) were from …get this … Halifax! But I tip my cap to our guide: he did a great job. We made our way up each floor learning something wherever we stopped to listen to the guide and then finally on the third floor the “magic spot” for everyone else on the tour (you have to go on the tour to find out why it’s magic in a muggle kind of way) had an extra meaning for us and we lagged a bit behind the group to take shots of the spot for posterity. Thanks for the unique cap. It was a golden opportunity to find out about the Alberta Legislature and be able to log a cap at the same time. 2014-09-22T20:00:00 Found it dronnord BCP 159 Edmonton N53° 32.022 W113° 30.397 No GPS available inside the bldg. Alberta Legislature cc21 and myself were strolling around the leg grounds yesterday. it was a very awesome fall day with temps reaching 28 degrees celsius at around 3 PM.So we decided to do a tour f the parliament Buildings legislature Grounds. They have tours there every hour on the hour. No need to be shuntered out by security gaurds. this tour was very entertaining and full of knowledge. And the best part. You get a cap at the very end of it. The bolt that is the cap is also known as the "Magic Spot". Enjoy this tour and thanks to OFTH for a very cool side trip and another smiley(also for taking this cap out of the archives) 2014-05-10T20:00:00 Didn't find it dronnord BCP 159 Edmonton Parliament Bldg I have made several attempts to get to the exact BCP and have been thwarted.

A very kind guide was willing to take us up to the 6th floor of the legislature, and we found a cap on the 5th floor. This brass cap was on something called the "Magic Spot". 2012-08-19T20:00:00 Found it 4 the Fun of It BCP159 Edmonton N53° 32.022 W113° 30.397 Found with Look Under There!=D along while picking up a few caches and caps in the area. A very helpful guide took us to the area when we explained what we were looking for. We also pointed out the First Post and other nearby brass cap to the guide near the legislature. 2010-09-16T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP159 Edmonton I must say, this cap took some wheedling to get at. One of the men at the front desk could not get his head wrapped around the fact that I was doing this for entertainment. An other individual walked away leaving his partner to deal with me. Eventually the man at the desk called someone in maintenance and I once again had to explain myself. After a few minutes I was on my way to my intended destination. The cap was quickly found and I was escorted down to the lobby where my adventure began. I have to say in all honesty that these people were doing their best to help but at the same time they must have thought I was completely daft; totally off my rocker! Good luck to the next person(s) to attempt this one. Thanks for the entertaining episode, The Dawntreaders PS I do have the picture to prove I was there and will post it once permission has been given by the cache owner. 2010-07-02T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP159 Edmonton I was able to get upstairs with security and get a picture.

Talked to the guard at the main gate to see the possibility of taking a look for it and was told that that would be out of the question in the evening as expected. I was going to try in the main building during the next day, but never got back to the area. Maybe next time. 2009-05-09T20:00:00 Write note mrcanoehead224 BCP159 Legislature Top floor dome I was here today, thought it might have been in the magic waterfall spot. After reading other logs though, figured i was wrong. still enjoyed it though 2007-05-21T20:00:00 Write note Stig Figger I haven't been keeping up with the logs since my last cap find, but I thought everyone would like to know about BCP159. BHT cache finders had an exclusive engagement in the Legislature last week and was granted permission by security to peruse the upper levels of the dome for the GSC bolt. But he couldn't find anything notable in the NW corner (where the hint places it). It may have been painted over or indeed cemented over. Apparently the security guy was also quite keen to find it and his name happens to honestly be, Mr. Speedy! 2005-10-02T20:00:00 Write note nicolo Hey, is BCP159 like BCP063? 2005-09-30T20:00:00 Didn't find it nicolo BCP159 ( Edmonton, Legislative dome ) N53° 32.022 W113° 30.397 Man, I really wanted to find this one today. XRN95 and I even joined the tour hoping that it'd take us up where we wanted to go ... and it seemed to be doing so! That was a half-hour that I'll never get back! The fifth floor was the highest up that the tour guide took us and he mentioned afterwards that tours don't go to the top-most floor of the dome because the stairs were too narrow. We checked the 5th floor and didn't see no stinking stairs leading up, so where was it?!!! 2005-08-18T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP159 - Edmonton Alberta Legislative Bldg. N53 32.022 W113 30.396 This was a tricky find this afternoon with security everywhere at the Leg. Well we persevered, slipped past security and picked up the numbers from the dome. 2004-10-28T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP159 Claresholm N50° 01.602 W113° 35.734 This cap somehow slipped by my “to do” list on the 24th and I was so close too. I was pleased to be able to catch it on the return trip. Almost fell into the camouflaged hole.

Said post has seen better days, but the cap itself is almost perfect. TFTBC. 2017-10-15T20:00:00 Found it uboff (Found) BCP160 Calgary (Deer Run) Found on Sunday. Sorry about the log on those 2 BCaps 2017-07-22T20:00:00 Found it nosweat6060 BCP160 Calgary (Deer Run) [FOUND] I began this morning with a plan to look for 4 caps In Fish Creek Provincial Park west of Macleod Trail and then look for another 4 in the park but east of Macleod Trail. This all unfolded according to plan. I still had a little time on my hands so decided to look for another pair in SE Calgary. I ended the day with a search for a geocache near the last cap. Thanks to ofth and vdD for setting up and maintaining these activities. I made a note of all the numbers and will add a few photos when I am near my photo software. This was brass cap #5 for today. 2017-05-04T20:00:00 Found it Truly2 BCP160 Calgary Deer Run I spotted a few fishermen in the river. Lots of cyclists out on these paths. The cap and post were easy to find. 2017-04-26T20:00:00 Found it Iron Phoenix BCP160 - Calgary (Deer Run) I managed to convince One Bad Ant that with the impending doom.... er, I mean, the upcoming change in logging rules, that we should do a blitz of Brass Caps, since she really hasn't found that many, and I wish I had tried to find more when I had the chance. Hindsight, eh? <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blackeye.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> This was a nice walk, despite the clouds and bit of wind, and the furry 4-legged cacher sure enjoyed the time to sniff and chew on sticks! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> This was quite easy to find and a beautifully pristine cap!! TFTCap!! 2017-04-26T20:00:00 Found it One Bad Ant BCP160 Deer Run Thanks for the cap. They are everywhere once you start looking :) 2017-04-23T20:00:00 Found it dronnord BCP160 - Calgary (Deer Run) N 50° 55.256 W 113° 59.509 Elevation: 1001.2 m This was a should we or shouldn<code>t we sort of decision. If we do these two we are getting really late in the day. As it was it was definetly worth the walk along the river as the gulls were CRAZY RIDICULOUS swarming over the river. On the far bank there were several people throwing things (rocks) at the gulls. Behind them was a very large shantytown structure down on the side of the bank. (Homeless shelter?) as it was very long distance across the river we couldn</code>t decide it was what we thought it was or just a massive accumalation of wooden sheets of plywood and other debris stacked up. Anyway after stumbling along through the grass we finally got to the cap and did our happy dance. Her we decided to cut straight across to the next and final cap of the day +_ 580m if my memory is correct. 2017-04-23T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP160 - Calgary (Deer Run) Posted: N50° 55.257' W113° 59.506' My GPSr: N50° 55.256' W113° 59.509' We made the short walk from parking along the paved path to this one and made a quick find of the post and cap at the top of a small rise.

This will be once of several found today. After grabbing the 9 caps yesterday, I set out a grab a few more today while walking FCP. It was a beautiful day to be spending in the park. Thanks for the cap. 2017-04-06T20:00:00 Found it kristaandgeoff BCP160 - Calgary (Deer Run) 8 of 10 caps tonight An epic HBG night with a target of getting 10 brass caps. We had 16 in the local area that none of us had found so we had to make sure that they were all found. Walked in from nearby parking. This is by far the cap in the best possible shape imaginable. Thanks for the cap! <edited name> 2017-04-06T20:00:00 Found it GeoMonkey_AB 11:29pm BCP160 Calgary (Deer Run) N50 55258 W113 59. 507 8 of 10 tonight We parked in the nearby community and walked over to this one through the grass. Tonight was a truly beautiful night and the walk over to GZ allowed us to really appreciate that spring is finally here. Along the way we joked and laughed about previous caching and cappin' adventures that we have shared - funny how the impending end of an era can make you a little nostalgic. Soon we were at GZ and after a bit of searching we found this very readable cap. Thanks for another cap! 2017-04-06T20:00:00 Found it rustywa BCP160 - Calgary (Deer Run) 11:29 PM We parked at the community just west of the cap and made the walk over.

I parked the Geo-Mobile and made the trek to GZ. I ended up walking a lot more than I needed to but I wanted to keep on the pathway. It didn't quite work out the way I had planned but I found it nonetheless. I gathered the required information before heading back. Details have been sent to the C.O.

Cap was in decent condition. 2016-08-27T20:00:00 Didn't find it EdgeMonks BCP161 Edmonton I used my umbrella and metal detector in the drizzle to hunt around for this one, but left when a yappy dog annoyed me. 2016-06-17T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv I found BCP161 Edmonton. I usually like to try to find the cap before I have to take out the metal detector. That changed at this one, it was almost 9:30 pm and when I walked to GZ a nearby dog decided to announce my presence. With the time of day, the dog and the fact that I was looking around just on the other side of the fence to some backyards, I decided to quickly grab my metal detector. Luckily I go a reading right away, snapped some pics and move on to the next one. Thanks for another cap in an interesting green space.

I can make anything more difficult than it is, however this is not a useful talent. Anyway I took the cap photos and walked back to the car from where Mrs BVPete had been observing my cap searching antics. Now it was off to some more fancy neighborhoods for a few more caps.

Yes indeed, straight ahead 450m a cap was waiting. A small piece of it was sticking out from under a snow bank so it was a quick find. Thanks for the easy cap today ofth.

It is bounded by 32 Avenue N to the north, the Trans-Canada Highway to the south, 52 Street E to the east and 36 Street E to the west. The Sunridge Mall is located immediately west of the neighbourhood. Rundle was established in 1973 and was named after Robert Terrill Rundle, a missionary that worked in Western Canada in the mid 1800s. Rundle was born in Mylor, Cornwall, England in 1811; the grandson of the noted Methodist lay minister William Carvosso. He enrolled in a business school near Boscastle, Cornwall in 1837 and took an interest in the Wesleyan Church affairs. Eventually he undertook several months of missionary training. He was ordained on March 8, 1840 in London and immediately departed to a missionary assignment in Rupert's Land. Rundle was among the four selected by the Wesleyan Missionary Society to be dispatched to the western districts of Rupert's Land as part of a deal with the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC). This was spurred in part by pressure from Evangelical groups in England, as well as from a desire by the HBC to improve its public face by improving the standard of living in Rupert's Land. Ultimately, it was also meant to keep the British Government sympathetic to the HBC in case another party tried to stake a claim on Rupert's Land. The Company's Governor in Rupert's Land, Sir George Simpson, wanted to avoid giving ground to the Roman Catholic missionaries, who were backed by the French Government and already had a presence in the eastern districts, and maintain the HBC's control over the west. Rundle arrived at Fort Edmonton, the center of the HBC's Saskatchewan District, in October of 1840 where he remained for 8 years. Initially optimistic about his work, Rundle was slowly demoralized on several fronts. The religious denomination most prevalent in Fort Edmonton was Catholic, thus few people attended Rundle's Protestant services. Within the Fort, Rundle attempted with limited success, to teach the labourer's children about the gospel. He held services throughout the week, especially on the Christian Sabbath (Sunday), which would often include a Cree service. Rundle urged that no work be done in observance of the Sabbath but the workers were too used to their routines to pay the missionary any mind. CONTINUED IN FOLLOWING NOTE Edit: Typos [This entry was edited by GeoKs on Wednesday, September 03, 2008 at 7:42:47 PM.] [This entry was edited by GeoKs on Thursday, September 04, 2008 at 1:56:09 PM.] 2008-09-03T20:00:00 Write note GeoKs BCP162 Calgary (Rundle) Replacement Cap - CONTINUATION OF LOG Rundle often wintered at the Fort, and visited with the natives through the spring and summer to preach the gospel, and educate them in the Cree syllabics invented by his Wesleyan missionary colleague, Reverend James Evans. In this way, Rundle became extremely well-travelled, having gone the distance between the HBC's larger trading posts in what is present-day Alberta, and having sought out the natives who lived in the country along the way. In 1843, the Hudson's Bay Company erected a small chapel which Rundle boasted could seat 100 persons. Described by Rundle in a letter home, the structure served not only as a Chapel, but had a small lodging for Rundle including a study space. In 1847, Rundle received permission to create a mission site at Pigeon Lake. The mission served the Cree, Stoney and Blackfoot peoples, instructing them not only in Christianity, but in reading and writing in syllabics, and growing crops. The Rundle Mission site was declared a National Historic Monument in 1965, and the site, its buildings and cemetery were designated a Provincial Historic Site in 1997. Though the original buildings no longer survive, there is a retreat house present. Robert Rundle documented his work in Rupert's Land in his journals. Included in this are two sets of registers: one set documenting hundreds of baptisms and dozens of weddings all performed by Rundle. Additionally, Rundle kept an anecdotal record in his journal, shedding light on his experience as a missionary. Rundle suffered a serious injury from a horse-riding accident, a fractured wrist, in July of 1847. The injury did not heal properly, rendering his left hand essentially useless. Rundle decided to return home to seek treatment; he reached England in September of 1848. While he had intended to go back to Rupert's Land, he never did again. After regaining his health, Rundle was prepared to do missionary service abroad again and was offered a missionary post in Australia. However, his plans changed when he married a woman named Mary Wolverson in 1854, and he stayed in England. Robert and Mary had nine children, though only four of them survived to maturity: Martha Anne, Rupert, Mary Grace and Sarah Alice. Rundle continued to serve as a minister in England until his retirement. He passed away on February 4, 1896 in Garstang, Lancashire. A number of things are named in Rundle's honour: <ol> <li>Fort Edmonton Park's reconstruction of Rundle's chapel,</li> <li>Mount Rundle, which overlooks Banff, Alberta,</li> <li>The Rundle Heights neighborhood in east-central Edmonton, </li> <li>Rundle Park in Rundle Heights - a large outdoor recreation space in Edmonton, </li> <li>The Rundle neighbourhood in north-east Calgary,</li> <li>Rundle C-Train Station in Calgary, </li> <li>Rundle School (elementary) in Edmonton, </li> <li>Rundle Elementary School in Calgary, </li> <li>Robert Rundle Elementary School in the suburb of St. Albert, Alberta,</li> <li>Rundle College, a private, multi-campus school for pre-school to Grade 12 students in Calgary,</li> <li>Rundle Hall, a dormitory at the University of Calgary, and </li> <li>Rundle Plant, a hydroelectric plant on the Bow River in southern Alberta. </li> </ol> The cap is a traditional cap, resides slightly above grade and is in excellent condition.

New cap is BCP162 Rundle. 2008-07-22T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP162 - Calgary (Renfrew) Alt. 1081 metres Well, it's no longer 20 cm above ground level, it doesn't appear to be brass, and it doesn't look much like a cap. But it's in the right place, and I found it on my second try! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> It's what appears to be a much pounded upon (with a large sledge hammer) iron peg a couple of inches below ground. It's magnetic, but just barely; the compass needle wouldn't even go vertical under it was sitting right on top of the peg. Ye Olde database lists the cap as destroyed as of Aug 30, 2005 and I'd say that's a fair assessment. The entry reads "reported as cap missing and pipe bent", and I guess in the interim the pipe has disappeared as well.

I saw the rod that he was talking about and was unable to find the brass cap. So, I looked this one up in da big database and on August 30 of 2005 it was reported as destroyed ( "cap missing and pipe bent" ).

Did the description say it was below ground level? Not sure. Didn't appear to be in the hole. And I wonder if the reference to the fence is current. Keep hunting. Hunt, hunt, hunt. Hmmmm - that rock looks suspicious. Aha! It really is a cap - a well-scratched one, partially hidden by grass. Take a picture, note the number, and hop back into the warm geo-chariot.

The small manhole is located about halfway between the light post and the street's round drain.

To be honest in the past I shied away from this one because it was so public, but having done a few like this now, I know all you have to do is [b]act[/b] like it's the most normal thing in the world to walk up, take off the cover and start taking pictures of a dark hole. It worked for me here. Thanks for the cap! 2015-04-25T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv Found BCP164 Edmonton. After picking up some garbage along the trail near Commonwealth Stadium for a CiTO event, I decided to come and grab this cap. Parked close and found the manhole right away. Luckily the cover popped right off and after moving a little dirt the cap revealed itself. Nice spot and a nice view of the stadium from here.

Parking was close in this area, however the cap is scarred up even being protected in the hole. It is a good idea to bring something to lift the cover near a relatively busy corner. TFT Cap, outforthehunt! 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP164 Edmonton 2:03pm Located this one in it's dingy little manhole - despite it's big iron hat, this one has had a hard life and been pretty scratched up. 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP164 Edmonton How can a cap in a manhole get so damaged? I can only assume that the damage happened before the side walks were put in when there was no protective manhole.

The stench was noticeable without removing the cover. After a little debate, the cover was lifted and a photo was taken without the usual cleaning as I wasn't even going to stick my cap rag (a.k.a. an old sock) in there. Got a few numbers at least. Another cap successfully logged.

From the stench that came out of the manhole when the cover was lifted to the incredible amount of traffic streaming past & of course the ambulance flying around the corner with sirens blazing. Couldn't get out of this fast enough. TFTCap OFTH 2009-05-16T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP164 - Edmonton Elev. 666 metres This cap reminds me of BCP064 outside the King Eddy in Calgary. My pointed tip rock hammer made an excellent tool for removing the manhole cover. The cap itself is fairly battered; it always surprising me how damaged caps protected in manholes can end up being. I wouldn't want to try exposing this one on a weekday; it was busy enough on a spring Saturday afternoon.

Had to use my capping screwdriver/pry bar to get the lid off the manhole and chip the ice off the brass.

Highlights of the trip include: -a whacky waving inflatable arms man....who just couldn't stand straight. Much laughter was spent over the 2ways on that one! -playing frogger on edmonton and sherwood parks roads, when the drivers dropped the runners off, and the runners ahd to make it bck across busy roads -family guy quotes on the 2 ways. -fyre wtching johnny tumble head over heels down a steep slope and almost doing the same thing herself -nika almost losing his shoe to evil sherwood park mud, then getting in our vehicle covered in it. :) -it was fyre's 23 birthday...what better way than to spend it caching with friends old and new. -getting beat out on an ftf that had been sitting there for a few days...by half an hour :( -the spruce trees weren't in attack mode this trip,in fact wefound some nice surprises in them.

X-tine, Johnny and I hung in for 71 caches while the others carried on and hopefully hit their goal of 100+. This was our first kick at power caching and we topped our old one day record by 58 caches. We also officially found and logged our first brass cap on this trip. TNLNSL. The Good: Speed caching with new and old friends. A stupid funny blow up advertising guy who couldn’t quite stand up straight. Checking out everyone’s techno gadgets. Touring all sorts of areas I’ve never had the chance to see before. Family guy quotes on the 2 ways. 71 finds. Fyre’s birthday. The Bad: Johnny running down hill faster then his feet can carry him. Brass cap cold streaks. Mud (just ask Nika). Left turns. The Ugly: I imagine most of us the following morning.

I couldn't decide on the best approach to this BC. I don't think there's any way to avoid the elevation change. I loved the structure found near GZ though from a distance, it looked much bigger. I'm sure it must be well used by the neighbourhood kids though tonight I had the place to myself; the impending weather was probably a factor.

The main reason for coming to this area was to grab this cap so it was my first stop of the day. I parked nearby and made the short walk up the hill. It was really cool to see the remains of the fort, I wonder who decided to add that to the neighbourhood. After walking through the remains I walked right up to the cap.

The hill gives you 360 degrees of the surrounding area, although there is a ring of houses around the base of the hill. I took a photo to the north as it's still undeveloped. When looking at past logs and photos, the area has changed a lot. I particularly like the fact that the developer has built a small walled circle from local sandstone. It was a great place to eat my lunch. The cap itself is every easy to find...coordinates were bang on.

The wind was really cool too so I let GDC/Dad take the picture of the cap while I hid behind the wall out of the wind. Dad even gave me his vest so that I would be warmer. I didn't think it would be that cold when I got out of the car after Dad picked me up from school.

Pretty easy with all the equipment still hanging around right above the cap. 2011-04-05T20:00:00 Found it Scraphappyj BCP165 - Sherwood Had to come into the area today, so thought that I would stop and find the cap. Loved the little fort. 2010-11-08T20:00:00 Found it green ducks BCP165 Calgary (Sherwood) It was being used today..see photo. 2010-11-06T20:00:00 Found it narloth BCP165 - Calgary (Sherwood) Cap is in excellent condition and is now in a nice green space next to some interesting "ruins". Numbers were legible and there is no damage to the cap. Thanks for bringing us to the new area of the city and the brass cap. 2010-11-06T20:00:00 Found it Losmir BCP165 - Calgary (Sherwood) Location: N51°09.600 W114°09.062 Elevation: 1188m This was Narloth and my first visit to the community of Sherwood... lots going on back here, wow is the city growing. I imagine that this cap had a very different view back when it was first posted. Luckily, the cap is well preserved and should remain so now that it is a part of a neat little green space that is surrounded by houses. I particularly liked the nearby "ruins". The cap is in pristine condition with only a little dust covering it. TFTBC and a reason to explore the area!! 2010-10-17T20:00:00 Found it rat root BCP 165 Calgary (sherwood) TFTH 2010-09-17T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP165 (Sherwood) Interesting modern ruins here and the cap looks just like new. 2010-08-28T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP165 Sherwood Found it while out for the CCARS10 event. 2010-08-24T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP165 Calgary (Sherwood) Elevation 1158 M.

Well that was the easiest cap we have ever found as it had the survey equipment right on top of it. Spoke to the surveyor who explained what he was doing and pointed out another cap they were using. Neat! He let me grab my shot and we moved on. Cool fortification on the hilltop. Nottingham Castle? Thanks for the cap. 2009-01-13T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx Good to go on BCP165 Sherwood!!

TFTB!! 2008-07-26T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP165 Sherwood It was about time I finally looked for this cap & what a straightforward find it was, even if the Gp is no longer there. Cap is in great shape just west of the castle. TFTH 2008-05-19T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP165 Calgary (Sherwood) Alt 1198 metres You apparently can't get here by trying to come through Hidden Valley... left turn fine, right turn, uh uh! I got a kick out of the nearby ancient ruins that were constructed within the past few years. Thanks for the cap. 2007-11-17T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP165 - Calgary (Sherwood) Easy cap find in the grass. Sure looks worse for wear given that it is relatively new. Took lots of context shots around this one because the construction will sure change the look of this area in the coming years. Cleared a bit of the grass around this one so it doesn't get overgrown. Nice spot. 2007-08-30T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP165 CalgarySherwood We were a meter or two out once the GPSr settled down, but it was swinging like crazy over a 6 or 7 meter range for quite a while. This was our first visit to this new residential area and a lucrative visit it was - youngest GeoKid found $5 and our mini-CITO netted a grocery bag full of garbage plus a couple bucks worth of beer and hard lemonade bottles. The nearby viewing area must be a favourite hang out for neighbourhood teens! Youngest GeoKid was more interested in the nearby playground than the viewpoint, but he diligently worked with me to locate the cap in the long grass before heading off to climb on the equipment. Thanks for the introduction to this new neighbourhood. E-mail already sent. 2007-04-30T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP165 ~ Calgary Sherwood N51° 09.599 W114° 09.062 Had some time before having to pick geokid #2 up from his music lesson so I thought I would head up north and see if I could find this guy.

Grandpa said that his area has changed a lot from when he found this cap. There is a nice playground at the bottom of this hill and a neat castle just by the cap. Grandpa nicolo told me about something called "The Last One Standing" and that it was still standing. 2006-06-08T20:00:00 Found it wavector BCP165, Calgary Sherwood I really enjoyed this cap, very cool spot and an easy cap to locate.

Looks like they're building some sort of castle or something right beside it. TFTC. 2005-08-13T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP165 Calgary, Sherwood Nice drive after work to relax. Quick find in a new neighborhood. 2005-07-09T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP165 I'd tried this one a couple of times before, but never could figure out exactly how to get there. Kept ending up on the wrong side of the golf course. Mapquest was no help what so ever. Anyways, was heading around in the area today to clean off a few of the caches that have been building up in this area while I wasn't looking. Anyways, I was routing to a gas station, and the GPS didn't tell me to turn, so I didn't. Before I got back on course, I noticed I was heading straight for this cap. Nice to finally figure out how to get to this one (its a shame I missed Last one Standing while it was up there...) 2005-06-11T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP165 - Calgary Sherwood N51 09.597 W114 09.062 Check out "The Last One Standing" from BCP165. 2005-05-08T20:00:00 Found it radcanhig BCP165 Calgary (Sherwood) Busy, busy place these days!

Yes you can see this one from a distance, but how long before it becomes someone's back yard. 2005-02-26T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP165 - Calgary - Sherwood Neat - a brass cap whose location you can determine from hundreds of meters away. All we needed to do was climb.... TFTC OFTH 2005-01-02T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP165 Calgary Sherwood Had enough of this "coolish type" weather and just had to get out.

TFTH 2004-12-19T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP165 - Calgary (Sherwood) Came looking for Robin Hood and his Merry Men, but things were pretty quiet today. I've posted a panorama taken from the cap on the GPX file page. The exposure isn't great, but it might be interesting to go to the same spot in a couple years to see how things have changed. 2004-12-05T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP165 - Calgary (Sherwood) Recorded Elevation: 1190m Boy was it cold up there on that little hill. The cold winter wind was ripping all the warm air out of us while we jotted down the numbers. Good thing this was an easy find. I don't think we'd have lasted long up there today. 2004-12-04T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BrassCap Calgary Sherwood N51º 09.599 W114º 09.063 elev: 1193 m. The threat of cold and snow got me out of the house once again. Left south Calgary with decent visibility and by the time I got waaaaaaaaay up there in the north (40km one way), snow had reduced the visibility about 1.5km. No sign of Maid Marion, Robin, nor any of his merry men. Only a light blanket of snow covered the cap. Also made another visit nearby.

I was looking for this yesterday morning but was ignoring what my GPSr was telling me : "Approach from the south". Instead I tried from the north. Bad idea and I had to leave for work. So not only did I NOT FTP ... my Jeep broke down on the Deerfoot. I was stranded for an hour and a half, waiting for a tow truck. What a great day that was! 2004-12-01T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP165-Sherwood (Calgary) Was about to head out the door to get the waypoints to Triangles in the Park when I saw a new cap pop up.

The Obed cap appears to be a very popular gathering spot for deer as the ground around the cap was completely covered with their hoof prints. We stopped at Obed Lake for lunch after getting this one.

I saw the guard pole from the highway as I pulled over and parked, but what was the white structure in front of it? It turned out to be a pipe containing the pin and disk. This is the second "hinged" cap cover I've found in as many weeks. As previous loggers have noted, the disk is in pieces. All the pieces were in the hole by the pin, and I reached in and fished them out to read the numbers. You could read the numbers off the sign as well, but they do not match what's on the disk. It would have been interesting to see if I could have gotten numbers off the disk if it was in one piece at the bottom of the whole, but given that this was the last cap of a very long day, I was just as happy to be able to take the easy way out.

I think it is not a cap, but a pin with a plastic rign. I found half of the rign lying on the ground between the pin "house" (which has lost its cover) and the survey marker.

Home from my Christmas trip I was able to compare my waypoints against the monument. I was able to get a WAAS lock on the AOR satellite (Garmins' number 47)and get "D" showing for nine sats. The average horizontal error for three waypoints was 4.19 metres.

As one of the last remaining ones in the Edmonton city limits for me, I figure'd I'd rush over and grab it on the inaugural day of the memorial puzzle and new logging method :) A beautiful day, people were on the velodrome, we passed a few ball games and some soccer practices on the walk to GZ. hopefully i read the cache page right or I'm going to look foolish logging these here :) 2017-05-13T20:00:00 Found it cailloupot BCP168 edmonton velodrome Out with the kids to find a few caps on this beautiful day.TFTBC! 2017-05-06T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) As we walked over from BCP116 we had flashbacks from BCP021 in the football field in Red Deer. So much unmarked grass! Except here there were markings here--a soccer field had been outlined with little cones--and the GPS wanted us on the playing field. With the players. Fortunately, the players were in the middle of the field some distance away not doing too much so we walked on with outward confidence, secretly crossed fingers and mentally preparing an answer if we were challenged. As long as they didn't start practicing shots on the goal we were in front of or playing a game, we hoped no one would object. Unlike the lengthy search for BCP021, Mrs Shark was very pleased and relieved when Mr Shark demonstrated his excellent skill (or luck, she's not picky) and almost immediately found the cap. Whew! We wouldn't have searched long, expecting as we were, a banishing shout from the coach at any moment. Again different from the Red Deer cap this one needed little preparation before we could do our business and clear the field. It's hard to believe that no one noticed us, but perhaps they were stayed by confusion by our short bee dance before dropping and taking pictures of the ground! It was a stroke of luck in timing and a quick find that we got this one! Great sport to find this and BCP116; thanks, outforthehunt! 2017-04-29T20:00:00 Found it GeoGuider BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) Posted: N 53° 30.524 W 113° 27.788 My GPSr: N 53° 30.525 W 113° 27.790 Email and numbers sent.

This time brought previous find context photos and a walking stick. Happy when I heard the very satisfying click of the stick on the cap. 2016-08-30T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) Mrs BVPete and I continued our walk from the other cap in this park and soon located the target cap. I was relieved as a cap in the middle of a field usually causes me a lot of grief <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. We gathered or info and headed back to the car. Thanks for posting the cap ofth. 2016-08-26T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome), 671m Wow, a cap in the middle of the field? I'm surprised I stumbled upon it quickly. TFTC. 2016-04-19T20:00:00 Found it mikefromcanmore BCP168 Velodrome. No bikes and no soccer today so it was a quick find. 2016-04-03T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv I found BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome). I walked over to this cap and started searching for a divot. After searching for awhile and not finding anything I decided to get to where my GPS said GZ was and turn on the metal detector app on my phone. I crawled around a little trying to get a reading and all of a sudden I noticed a higher reading, I just kept moving towards the higher numbers and sure enough it led me to the cap. Thanks for another great cap in this great area. TFTBC <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2014-09-20T20:00:00 Found it Kiwibirdman BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) Quick find today. Very strange placing of this control point! I'd hate to take a tumble in soccer and crack a knee on it! 2014-04-27T20:00:00 Found it TeamDJM BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) My GPS N53 30.524 W113 27.788 Cap in fair conition with a nice pink paint job and some small colored flagging on the ground Brass Cap Day on the way home. Email sent T4TBCP TeamDJM (5398) Lethbridge Alberta 2013-06-16T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) Posted Coords: N53 30.524 W113 27.788 My GPSr: N53 30.525 W113 27.789 My Elevation: 604 m( I'd DNF'd this one not too long ago, but I was game for another try, especially since I'd seen it'd been found recently. That knowledge helped as I made my way over to ground zero, this time with metal detector in hand and fully expecting a long, prolonged search. Well the find was completely anti-climatic! I just pretty much walked up to the cap, like it was my mark on a stage or something. The grass had been mowed since my last visit, and maybe that was the difference, but no matter, I laughed out loud as I set down the now completely unnecessary detector. I took the shots, and did little better than past finders deciding how to show it in context, I'm afraid. This one's just so far from everything. Thanks for the cap! 2013-06-12T20:00:00 Found it chevyragtop BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) As my GPS took me in smaller and smaller circles I spotted the cap with only a few quick probes. Surprised the cap is in such good shape considering the age and being only a few inches below the surface. Thanks for a great cap OFTH. 2013-05-19T20:00:00 Didn't find it Coolcat21 BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) Velodrome? Absolutely perfect name for this one. I circled round and round in the large expanse of grass, on foot mind you, not on a bike, looking for this cap. After the first 5 seconds I was reminded that I'd forgotten bug spray and of course my walking was scaring up even more of the flying vampires as I looked. And I looked - and slapped for a long time. I tried to use a couple context shots posted by previous finders, but this one is so far away from everything that it's tough for even a picture to help. I finally admitted defeat. I do admire the girl walking her dog past me nearby: she didn't run over and ask if I was clinically insane to be walking in circles and slapping my arms and neck for no apparent reason in a public park. I admire the restraint she showed. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> This was relatively close to home. I'm bound to be back sometime. 2012-05-12T20:00:00 Didn't find it The Wilde Ones BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) N53° 30.524 W113° 27.788 Definitely did not find this one. Two of us spent about 20 minutes looking carefully. Then we looked at recent logs and found the last log was almost two years ago. Nothing but a big field. We checked every indent in the ground, and even retraced the location from the description. Oh well, we will keep watch on this one to see if anyone else has better luck. 2010-11-05T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) A small detour and a nice hike through the Mill Creek Ravine and I found myself at my intended destination. Thanks, The Dawntreaders 2010-09-18T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP 168 Edmonton (Velodrome) The GPSr took me to the wrong side of he ravine, so I had to trick it into getting me to a closer parking location. By this time, it was pretty dark and I was concerned about finding a cap in the middle of a field given my past record of locating flush caps! I went for it. Followed the GPSr until it reached 0 and I looked down and believe it or not, there was the cap in smiley at me in the beam of my head lamp!

His training is going well. Soon he'll be able to snatch that pebble from my hand. Thanks for the cap. Nice track. 2009-06-22T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) The velodrome appears to be out of commision for repairs at the moment..not that there was much work going on today. The cap was found quickly on open ground & is still in very good shape. TFTCap 2009-04-25T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP168 - Edmonton (Velodrome) Elev. 664 metres The last cap of the day. The light was fading fast, and ground zero was yet another endless sea of grass. My PDA had died, so all I had for a hint was the short 14 character version in the GPSr. Fortunately, the coordinates were good and I picked up the cap without too many compass sweeps. I probably would have seen it sooner if there'd been more light, but I'll take what I can get! The cap has been whacked pretty hard a few times and a couple of the digits are gone. Thanks for the cap. 2008-06-29T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) A very quiet morning at the Velodrome.

[This entry was edited by Sleepy_hollow on Sunday, November 27, 2005 at 11:06:34 AM.] 2005-11-22T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP168 Edmonton Veledrome. Pitch black out but the sky was absolutely clear and being in the middle of the field with no trees ensured perfect accuracy with the GPS, to within 0.3 m. As I was kneeling down getting the cap number I could hear some large animal running toward me. I could just make out the outline of something black and could hear it panting as it bared down on me. Just as I saw my past caches flash before my eyes, the beast jumped on me and layed a large wet tonque across my face. My panic subsided when I was licked rather than eating alive. It was only when I heard its master call that I thanked the stars that it was an bouvier and not a bear. 2005-11-21T20:00:00 Found it Klondike Mike BCP168 Edmonton (Velodrome) N53° 30.524 W113° 27.788 VP came over to this one with me from BCP116.

Saw it before I even stepped off my bike. 2005-10-01T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP168-Edmonton Found this one on a very rainy day in Edmonton. Even though Nicolo had found these he made me find them on my own, lol. Thanks!! 2005-09-25T20:00:00 Found it raw spirit BCP168. Second one in Argyl park, Edmonton. Had to search a bit to find this one. The compass trick really works. 2005-08-14T20:00:00 Found it Mr. Speedy BCP168 - Edmonton Velodrome I came here several times already and never succeded. Now with Time&Space, nicolo and ibycus finding it, I had to grab this one! Mr. Speedy's parade 2005-08-13T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP168 - Edmonton (Velodrome) N53° 30.524 W113° 27.788 First of 17 caches today - caching with ibycus in Edmonton. Found at 9:38 AM ... OK we started a bit late this AM, so sue us!!! I wasn't able to find this one the last time that I was here alone. Fortunately, an eagle-eyed ibycus found this one so no need to get Old Yeller workin'. 2005-08-13T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP168 Nicolo had struck out on this one once before, so I was prepared for a tough hunt on this one. We each approached the cap, and dropped our GPSrs at what we read for ground zero. Nicolo headed off to one side with Old Yeller, to start his sweep. I looked at the ground, and bisected the distance between the two GPS. Right in the middle of the two, off to one side there was the cap. Its amazing how well it can blend in... 2005-07-31T20:00:00 Found it XIITerraPaws BCP 168 Edmonton N53 30.524 W113 27.788 So close to BCP116... just had to do this one as well 2005-07-16T20:00:00 Found it PDOP's BCP168 Edmonton Velodrome N53°30.524' W113°27.788 Outstanding in it's field this cap is in good shape.

It's a good day when I can snag two caps that eluded me previously. The only reason I found this one was cuz I happened to step on it.

After finding the nearby Varsity cap, it was a no-brainer to get this one. We found the right trail though it wasn't too direct. It was a cool evening and a very pretty way to end a day of caching. My goal was to get 10 brass caps in a day to bump up our numbers before logging duplicate finds is no longer allowed. We were successful and got 11. We were not in a hurry so we spaced this out around errands; it took a while from start to finish because of that. We're really grateful for the hard work to keep track of everyone's finds on this virtual cache.

At the last cap my phone decided to stop working on me so I came to this cap with no preparation or tools, all I had was my GPS. I was hoping that I could spot the divot and easily clean it off. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked up to GZ and spotted the cap above ground just sitting there staring at me. As with a lot of caps this one sure had a great view.

As I made my way from the other nearby BC, the weather changed and I started getting pelted by some sleet. I almost turned back but how could I? I was only 78m away after all. :-o I played it safe and took the long way around to GZ which allowed me to avoid any bushwhacking. The BC is quite visible and in great shape. I and my GPSr certainly felt the coldness of the sleet while we waited out the waypoint average. It's nice to see the walk back to my car was mostly flat; of course the weather cleared up right afterwards. BC details coming via email.

I checked a few depressions in the ground but had no luck. Checking back on past logs I saw that kristaandgeoff had found this cap and he had posted his coords for it so I put them into the GPSr. It lead me about 10m from my GZ and I was standing on the cap when I zero'd out. I'm glad he posted his coords as I might not have found this one otherwise.

Thankyou Outforthehunt 2016-09-29T20:00:00 Found it Kottbullar BCP169 Calgary (Silver Springs 2) Out for a stroll after dropping off a load of stuff at Value Village. Now I can put newer old things that we don't use in the storage room 😉. Took a moment to find this brasscap in the fading grass, there were a few suspicious indentations nearby that lured me away. A lady with a couple of dogs came by, but was too polite to ask why I was rifling through the grass.

This cap was a little harder to find. Fortunately, I stumbled across the very short stub of the metal guard post. I searched 30 cm south of the GP, but no cap. It was 8 inches WSW of the post and about 1 inch above ground level. There is a decoy hole about 1 foot NE of the guard post. The cap is near the intersection of two dirt paths, about 6 feet from one and 3 feet from the other. Thanks again. 2014-07-17T20:00:00 Found it rustywa 10:51 AM [b]BCP169 - Calgary (Silver Springs 2)[/b] Out on a stroll to do maintenance on one of my caches when I found myself close to this one.

The GPS was jumping all over, probably due to the cloud cover. It turns out the cap was right near where I initially dropped down by backpack! I was almost going to call it quits when I picked up my pack and my toe hit paycap. Lucky me! It was covered in quite a bit of grass so it was difficult to find. Great view from up here!

It was getting VERY late (or should I say early morning) so we were hoping for a quick cap. Well, it wasn't so easy. We couldn't find a thing at the intersection of the two trails. After a bit of searching, I decided to get the old yeller out. I started poking the ground with it and still nothing... Until I got a yell! What we found was a bent metal post. We though this was an old survey marker post. We started digging around, then trying to pull it up (we tought the cap might have been underneath. Then I got the yeller out again and started poking around... Bingo! It was just a few inch from the bent post. TFTC.

After coming back from a DNF on this cap, eating, then coming out of a tryptophan-induced coma, I saw reastick's log on his success. I was so impressed with his skills with the pen, not unlike Mr. Poe, that I went out once again in search of BCP169. This time it took only a few minutes to find, mostly because I'm guessing that reastick uncovered the cap a bit, maybe blew the snow off the cap, it was that ground-level!!! My mistake the first time was that I spent most of my time east of the trail and only a few minutes on the west side ... !!! Anyway, took a couple of pics, note that Stash n' Dash's in one pic ( on his way to his next home ), and down I went! p.s. It was much nippier out this time around, and it was only three hours after I was here the first time ... brrr. Lots of people out though. 2004-12-25T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP169 - Calgary (Silver Springs 2) It was the morning of Christmas, and all through the house All the creatures were stirring; the cats caught a mouse I sidled away, at the computer I sat To see what new caches had appeared just like that When on the search page there arose such a clatter Something right nearby! A new cap was the matter! I knocked over my coffee, wiped it up with a towel I grabbed my receiver, my compass, my trowel I raced out the door, turned on the device Watched the satellites come in then slipped on some ice I picked myself up and brushed off the snow East south east is the direction I go I followed the streets that had recently been cleaned Along the ridge top and down a ravine My GPS zeroed at a questionable spot I looked to my feet for a shiny brass dot There was nothing but grass ‘neath the soles of my shoes I kicked it around but nothing came loose I got out my compass and swung it around The cap was quite possibly under the ground When out of the corner of my eye should appear A slight glint of metal under grass not so near I took out my camera, documenting the find Twas a survey marker of the Alberta kind I don’t know why I enjoy this so much Maybe just getting out is what gives me the rush I packed up my compass began heading back Happy Christmas to all and to all a Brass Cap!

This was a real nice area TFTBC 2014-05-03T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv Jimigigilo and I found BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood) today while caching around the area. A great view from here and we found the brass cap quickly even with the recent snowfall. Thanks for another great brass cap.

Thanks! 2014-04-24T20:00:00 Found it Switty 13 Brass Cap BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood) N50ᵒ 59.605' W114ᵒ 01.303' Elevation 1045m Found while in the area looking for another cache. Awesome View of the Bow River. Thanks! 2013-05-14T20:00:00 Didn't find it j_peg BCP171 - Calgary (Lynnwood) Will need to revisit this one with better equipment. So much long grass, with too many canine tailing hazards to get down and look more closely. 2013-01-28T20:00:00 Didn't find it TheTowerOfSong BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood) After my excursion down below, I made my way to this area for a search. Too much rock hard ice and frozen snow in the area to make my hiking pole any good at poking around. Will have to return when the snow is gone (but before the mountains of poop thaw out - YUCK!) TFTC! 2011-08-10T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood) - Our first trip into these neighbourhoods in Calgary. We have never had a reason to be in this section of town until now and the cap was a bonus. TFTCap 2011-08-10T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood) It's rare that we travel to this part of the city but today an appointment with a window company made a good excuse to visit a few caps. We had to step lively at this site as someone is using this patch of grass to relieve their dog. 2011-06-18T20:00:00 Found it BrassPirate BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood) found at N50 59.605 - W114 01.303 Huzzah! for metal detectors. This was hidden among high grass. 2011-05-04T20:00:00 Found it Andronicus BCP171 Calgart (Lyynwood) N 50 59.60560W 114 1.30350 2m Elevation 1043m 3m This cap had a great view! All that snow up in the mountains. This cap gave me a bit of trouble, but in the end it was there and exposed. I was looking too far South. The cap is in line with a spike in the neibours flower bed (he showed it to me... thanks) I think the local residance of this area need a visit from by-law; an absolutly unbelievable amount of Dog doo in this area.

It took awhile to find the cap, because I was trying to find safe places to step!! Luckily the cap was clear! 2010-10-18T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood) It sure was a nice day which made for a great view overlooking the river. 2010-07-26T20:00:00 Found it Bearberrys Cub BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood) Found at N50 59.605 W114 01.304 Elevation 1057 M This took a little scratching to find even with the help of a couple of well meaning muggles. Thanks for the cap. Bearberry and The Cub. This entry was edited by bearberry on Monday, 26 July 2010 at 15:57:43. 2009-06-14T20:00:00 Found it nt210 BCP171 Calgary (Lynwood) Quick find before doing some caching on Beaver Dam Flats. 2009-05-07T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP171 Calgary - Lynnwood The best part about the steady rainfall this morning was that the pesky guy in the nearby house was not outside & therefore could not bother me while I went about the important business of tracking down this heretofore tricky cap. TFTCap 2009-04-29T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP171 Calgary Lynnwood Great view from this location on an early morning commute. TFTBC!!!! 2009-04-23T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood) N50° 59.605’ W114° 01.302’ I followed instructions received from TiE today and found the cap immediately. I have no idea, at all, why I struck out on my first attempt. The friendly resident must have distracted me last time (I admit that I am easily distracted). This time he didn’t even have time to put his shoes on as I found the cap took my photo and was out of there in about 30 seconds flat! Thanks for selecting this cap ofth, it does have a nice view. Now, off to pick the Grandkids up from school and take them back to Cochrane. 2009-04-20T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood) Posted N50° 59.605 W114° 01.302 GPSr N50° 59.605 W114° 01.303 Nemesis cap??? Hardly! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I got a little tip from Mr. vdD, so as we were caching in the area today we dropped by without the promised metal detector or compass. Walked up and found the cap in a few seconds with the shuffle of a shoe. Paced off the distance from the path and it was bang on the hint. Not sure how we missed poking it last time. The added bonus is we were gone before our neighbour friend could come join us .... again. What a great view today. Snowcapped mountains and 5 huge river rafts full of people floating by. I was envious as we were a little hot and tired from biking today. Thanks for the cap. Glad it's finally logged. 2009-04-18T20:00:00 Didn't find it BVPete BCP171 Calgary (Lynwood) Alas, I have joined the Takin it Easy team in being unable to find this cap. Even with the compass and the help of a nearby resident the cap did not reveal itself. 2009-04-15T20:00:00 Didn't find it Takin it Easy BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood) N50° 59.605 W114° 01.302 Well since I logged that devious BCP329 FCP cap (on the third try), I now have a new nemesis cap. This was my second visit BCP171. I didn't have the December excuses of snow and cold this time so I expected a quick find. Well... a solid hour later I came up empty. I measured off the hint distances with a tape measure. Established a search perimeter within the accuracy of my GPS and started combing the grass and doggie doo filled area as best I could. Yuck! That's a lot of poop. A few neighbours took great interest in what I was doing. One was kind enough to point out a survey pin in their garden. Another said they've seen people combing the area before. The el cheapo metal detector was still batteryless from my last nemesis cap and I still have not acquired a non-digital compass. I will have both on hand for my next visit. At least the neighbours will know who I am now. Thanks for the challenge. I'll be back. 2008-12-09T20:00:00 Didn't find it Takin it Easy BCP171 Calgary (Lynnwood) N50° 59.605 W114° 01.302 OK... here are the excuses: 6" of snow covering wind chill Mrs. TiE was not having fun I did manage to clear the snow in a 5m x 3m area though. Waiting for a chinook. 2008-07-07T20:00:00 Found it DanOCan BCP171: Calgary (Lynnwood) All of the doggie doo that turned me off of this hunt last time was gone but I thought for sure we would DNF this one in the tall grass. Just as I was ready to surrender Mrs. DanOCan says "Is this it?" Sure enough, the cap was there and nicely exposed. Will upload picture later. [This entry was edited by DanOCan on Tuesday, July 08, 2008 at 8:06:04 AM.] 2008-06-21T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP171 - Calgary (Lynnwood) Alt. 1050 metres The first cap that I've found with my el cheapo metal detector! All day long my GPSr had been reading 0.001 minutes east of where the caps ended up, and taking that into account on this one made for a much easier find than it might have been. Last find of the day, and thanks for the cap to end it all on a high note. 2007-12-16T20:00:00 Didn't find it DanOCan BCP171: Calgary (Lynnwood) I had actually wanted to make a run to Baseline Lookout Tower yesterday but chores around the house kept me from it. Instead I decided to get my brass cap fix by looking for one in the city today -- big mistake. Someone in Lynnwood must own a very large dog and doesn't believe in picking up after it -- there were piles of dog crap everywhere around ground zero. No way was I getting on my hands and knees with the metal detector to try and find this one under the snow and grass. Should have went Sundre direction, me thinks. 2007-08-15T20:00:00 Found it GeoKs BCP171 CalgaryLynnwood N50 59.605 W114 01.302 Our last visit to this location (March 26) we fell victim to a nearby, practical-joker neighbour, who convinced us the cap was buried in his flower garden! This time, we were on a mission to find the marker, and find it we did (no GPSr required!). Thanks! E-mail with photo already sent. 2007-08-13T20:00:00 Found it wavector BCP171 Calgary, Lynwood I am never sure how these caps escape being seen, I looked fo rthis cap before but it must have been hiding, I was sure I looked exactly where it was! 2007-03-31T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP171 N 50 59.605 W 114 01.302 Our first cap of the day 2007-03-24T20:00:00 Found it Everhollow BCP171 - Calgary (Lynnwood) N50° 59.605 W114° 01.302 Lost count of how many times I searched for this cap. It was much easier this time. 2007-03-02T20:00:00 Found it Neko&Hiiri BCP171 - Lynnwood Ridge Found this one with bish0p. I think that we should start trusting our equipment more. And the guy who started talking to us from the nearby house trying to get us to log the cap in his yard was a little weird. Thanks for the help bish0p. -Neko & Hiiri <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2007-03-02T20:00:00 Found it bish0p BCP171 Lynnwood Ridge Calgary N50 59.607 W114 01.301 So after being up for the last 38 hours I figure what better thing to do then go cap hunting for a cap that has not been found in over a year. Call Hiiri "Hey want to go cap hunting?" and off we went to Lynnwood. Get the sight, grab my toque, gloves, gps, and brass hunter and head off to ground Zero. We are there no more than 60 seconds when some guy sticks his head out of the door and Asks , "Hey are you guys looking for a Survey marker?" Upon answering yes he tells us we are way off and we need to look much closer to his fence. Hiiri and I look at each other, look at our GPSes and choose to hunt where they tel us to hunt. Sure enough the brass hunter finds a spot, grab the shovel and clear the snow.... Nothing, zip zero, okay expand the search... 20 minutes later the Brass Hunter it still telling us it is in the same spot, but reading the hint over and over we decide that it is time to go, as the wind on the top of the hill it damn cold. Now being one that hates to give up I grabbed my leatherman and with the pliers out I jammed the point into the ice and dirt where the brass hunter kept telling us it was, and about an inch under the dirt "Clink" "It's not suppose to be Buried, " I say as I cleared off the cap. Grabbed some pics and learned not to second guess the Brass Hunter again. Being the kind folks Hiiri and I are we left it uncovered for those that have been searching for this guy in vain.

Foster Bros 2006-02-14T20:00:00 Found it 3jaze BCP171 Lynnwood Ridge Calgary N50 59.607 W114 01.301 Elev: 1043 I had visited this cap once before when the grass was green and with no success. I thought perhaps another visit when the grass was brown would be good idea. Who knows? A different perspective sometimes helps, and helped it did! Poke around with the trekking pole for about 5 minutes when I heard the welcome sound of the “click click” of metal on metal. Woohoo! Good to get this one off of my “todo” list. Thanks for yet another cap. 2005-11-06T20:00:00 Found it reastick BCP171 - Calgary Lynnwood Nothing like a bluff over the Bow. Thanks to all the other cappers who uncovered all the caps I found today! 2005-11-02T20:00:00 Found it The4B's BCP171 - Calgary (Lynnwood) This turned out to be our 300th cache find! This one would have been really hard without the metal detector. There was fresh snow on the ground and lots of thick grass under the snow. But the detector squealed nice and loud after just a minute of searching. Bingo! The numbers are on the way. Thanks again. 2005-11-02T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP171 Lynnwood, good thing for 2B's metal detector. TFTH. 2005-10-15T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP171 Calgary, Lynnwood Yahoo! Found this tricky cap. TFTH 2005-10-15T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP171 - Calgary - Lynnwood This was my second attempt at finding this cap. I knew that others had found it, but it sure didn't reveal itself to me. I spent quite some time roaming through the grass, wherever my GPS zeroed out (it was pretty consistent). Went back to the car, checked the clue, came back, and found it almost immediately - about 6 m away from where I had been looking earlier. And about 15 m away from where I looked the first time! Oh, well - some days are better than others. But I found it! Yes!!!! TFTC OFTH 2005-10-11T20:00:00 Found it DuckyJo BCP171 Lynnwood, Calgary N50.59.606 W114.01.301 Had tried this one another day with no luck. Tonight went back on my way to GCNRC4 which I also had previously not found, and was rewarded twice tonight. This is still a sneaky one.

We were just about to give upo when I found the brass while crawling around on my knees. 2005-09-24T20:00:00 Didn't find it Softheads BCP171 Calgary - Lynwood Ridge area. A great evening with DuckyJo, Tess & Benny dogs and Saskatchewan Cindy (newby). Couldn't locate this one, dispite 3 of us crawling around on the ground for 20 minutes, triangulation, using the compass trick etc. Guess we need a metal detector. 2005-08-11T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP171 - Lynnwood N50 59.605 W114 01.302 We finally found this elusive cap in the long grass. 2005-07-06T20:00:00 Didn't find it Red90 BCP171 Calgary - Lynnwood Searched hard for this one to no avail. I must be blind. 2005-06-20T20:00:00 Found it Smrt_geer BCP171 Calgary - Lynnwood I looked for this one once earlier on in my capping days back when I didn't know all the little tricks for finding them - like waiting for fellow cappers to find them for you! Thanks Cap'n Cache and Lt. Geo! 2005-06-17T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx Found easily despite the torrential downpour; nice weather if you're a trout!! Did this one on the drive home through the monsoon. TFTC!! 2005-06-14T20:00:00 Found it Cap'n Cache & Lt. Geo BCP171 - Calgary (Lynnwood) Well it's about time. I won't admit how many times I looked for this cap. I knew it had to be there, I saw pictures of it. But I just couldn't find it for some reason. It had become my geocaching nemesis, by arch enemy, the bane of my existence. This cap alone came close to convincing me to buy a metal detector. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_evil.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I tried compass sweeping, I tried foot scuffing, I tried crawling on my hands and knees. I was ashamed to admit I couldn't find this one since all indications were that it was supposed to be an easy one! The guy in the house across the pathway (he has another cap in his flower garden) and I were getting to be good buddies. He even helped me search for it once. He'd almost invite me over for a beer when he'd see me. Well, I figured I'd give it another go tonight on the way home after an evening meeting. And there it was. The sweet, sweet sound of walking stick tapping brass! Ahhh.<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_approve.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Sure, it was hidden and camo'ed by dirt and grass, but it just wasn't that hard a find. I can't figure out why I didn't find this one before. Some kind of weird karma I guess. Anyway, I cleaned it up and removed some of the dirt and grass from around it. Should be easy for the next hunter. Thanks for the cap. I think. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2005-01-30T20:00:00 Found it Ting BCP 171 Calgary Lynnwood Nice, easy find with the added bonus of a great view of the river. Found out where all the geese go in the nice weather, too. TFTH 2005-01-27T20:00:00 Found it nicolo BCP171-Calgary (Lynnwood) N 50° 59.604 W 114° 01.302 I had been there two times now and had struck out both times. Then, I noticed that XRN95 found this one yesterday so figured, now's the time, it's exposed. Found pretty quickly as XRN95 had left it nice and exposed, thanks bud! BTW, I spoke to the man at the closest house and he mentioned that he has a cap in his flowerbed, just a foot or so south of the tree. Hmmm ... 2005-01-26T20:00:00 Found it XRN95 BCP171-Calgary (Lynnwood) Decided to try this one after the recent warm temps. Got to the area and wahooo...no snow! Started looking around and didnt see anything obvious so I broke out the compass. Kinda saw an area that looked a bit different and started sweaping. After about a minute, had a very good sign. Started investigating the ground and found some hard dirt/ice mixture. Started chip away and then I saw that beautiful brass color! Chipped away enough to get the numbers. Should be an easy find for the next cacher!

A little embarassing how long it took me to find it, but all good in the end :) 2017-05-08T20:00:00 Found it mkPerry BCP172 Edmonton Hoping I get to log a bonus cap today. This is one I've missed but see that others had found it yesterday I took the opportunity on the way home to grab it.

After we found that cache it took all of one minute to walk to GZ, however the marking post is long gone so we then spent much longer searching the ground. Eventually, I spotted a little hint of pink and after scraping away some mud the cap was revealed. Find number 4800! 2015-09-27T20:00:00 Found it JnJ H BCP172 Edmonton I wasn't sure if getting here was going to happen with all the construction fence around, but when I got to GZ I was happy to find that GZ was not inside of the fences. TFTC! 2015-08-03T20:00:00 Found it RNKVM BCP 172 Found with Kiwibirdman today. Thanks! 2015-07-13T20:00:00 Found it Kiwibirdman BCP172 Nice easy one today. Didn't even have to bust out the metal detector! TFTH! 2014-10-14T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP172 Edmonton The Black Sharks are swimming the waters of the North Saskatchewan today! We started early, of course, as the rivers are not so direct as the roads. Fortunately that is largely offset by underground waterway shortcuts, few intersections, no traffic lights and no need to pull over to get something to eat. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> We decided to start with a brass cap and use our human disguises. They blend in better with other land creatures which makes things a lot easier and keeps the muggles calmer! The lath that was present in June, 2013 is, of course, long gone making this a more challenging find once again. It was, in fact, our longest cap search today but the metal detector finally picked a spot. The slightest scuffing of a few leaves and a thin layer of dirt and grass clippings revealed a bright pink cap! We are thankful for the cap and the chance to work off a bit of our Thanksgiving feast. Mmmm, squid! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2013-06-20T20:00:00 Found it Coolcat21 BCP172 – Edmonton Posted Coords: N53 31.472 W113 30.127 My GPSr: N53 31.471 W113 30.128 My Elevation: 642 m(( I was able to park pretty close by, following a sign to a pitch and put which never really materialized, but no matter. After a bit on the paved path, a side path through the trees promised to serve as a short cut and did it ever come through! With all the recent rain, the path was good and mucky but it took me straight over to where the this cap lives. I was like finding the back door to the treasure and couldn't have worked out better. Having read previous logs, I knew this one wasn't really close to anything, and might prove difficult. When I turned the corner and saw a new lath with pink tape flying from it's top, I laughed out loud. The search was short and sweet, and pink was the key word for this one for sure. Thanks for the cap! 2012-09-22T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP172 - Edmonton Another nice walk in a parks along the river. TFTH 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP172 Edmonton The exit of Queen Elizabeth Park way was still accessible despite the construction (demolition) work going on where the old building used to be. The metal detector was the tool of choice on this one with the heavy leaf cover on the ground. Once we got the distinctive beep and brushed the leaves aside, this very pink cap was painfully obvious. TFTCap 2011-10-09T20:00:00 Found it Count Smiley BCP172 Edmonton 9:56am Despite being a very pink cap, this one required the metal detector. Amazing how well these hide in the grass. 2010-11-14T20:00:00 Found it chevyragtop BCP 172 Edmonton Since the cap is basicly the same colour as the leaves, had to bring out the old metal detector to hasten the search. This cap brought back good vibes as this was part of the old stomping grounds. TFTBC OFTH 2010-09-21T20:00:00 Found it The Dawntreaders BCP172 Edmonton I truely don't what my problem was a few days ago when I first came to this area to look for this one. Today I found it within a minute of arriving. I didn't even get to use my 'metal detector'! Last time I was here I must have been standing on it, yes, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Oh well, at least this time I managed to find a parking spot that was a little closer! Thanks, The Dawntreaders 2010-09-17T20:00:00 Didn't find it The Dawntreaders BCP172 I will need to return with a more appropriate means of probbing the ground other than a small pocket screw driver, or perhaps a pin-finder! No joy in Mudville today. The Dawntreaders 2010-08-24T20:00:00 Didn't find it Dr. John Rae BCP 172 - Grass, grass, grass - what exactly am I looking for?? 2010-07-02T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP172 Edmonton Quick find in this very unused park. TFTBC!!!! 2009-10-10T20:00:00 Found it dronnord BCP172 Edmonton N53° 31.472 W113° 30.127 GPSr N 53 31.472 W 113 30.128 643m Pics to follow with email 2009-07-05T20:00:00 Found it Takin it Easy BCP172 Edmonton Posted N53° 31.472 W113° 30.127 GPSr N53° 31.473 W113° 30.128 Parked as per vdD and headed over to GZ. Walked in circles until Mrs. TiE spotted it. Not sure how I missed it. The park was full of small green caterpillers hanging from the branches over trails. We were literally covered after grabbing a cache or two. Thanks for the cap! 2009-05-26T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP172 Edmonton Great parking for this cap, just don't miss the turn into the lot because there is no way back...luckily I didn't. Found the cap without too much trouble. TFTCap 2009-05-14T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP172 - Edmonton, 640 metres I was having a hard time finding this one (the stove mentioned in the description is long gone). I finally turned on the Legend, and it pointed me in the right direction. Good area for a picnic! 2009-05-03T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP172 - Edmonton Elev. 647 metres Parking is available within 100 metres of the cap (turn off at the swimming pool exit). Other than a few passing bikers and joggers, I was the only one in the park today. The stove mentioned in the hint seems to have vanished, and a compass sweep was requried to turn this one up. It's far enough away from any trees or bushes that there's really nowhere to put some flagging up. The cap is in pretty good shape, although one digit has been completely obliterated. The context photos will give you better clues as to the cap's location that I could write; it's in the grass, and not really near anything. Thanks for the cap in a restful spot where I could not only find the cap but also enjoy my lunch in solitude! 2008-09-04T20:00:00 Didn't find it dronnord BCP 172..<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_dissapprove.gif" border="0" align="middle" />.....anybody find this one recently? 2007-09-22T20:00:00 Found it $ Johnny Cache $ BCP172 - Edmonton Found on a super power caching trip with Plan-B, X-Tine, Forestrogue, Fyreakida and Nika05! TFTBC!!! Johnny Cache 2007-09-22T20:00:00 Found it Nika05 BCP172 ~ Edmonton Found on a Cap & Cache hunt with Forestfyre07, Plan-B, X-tine, $Johnny Cache$ 2007-09-22T20:00:00 Found it forestfyre07 BCP172 ~ Edmonton one of 101 power caching on Fyre's birthday with Nika05, 70 finds of which were made with Plan-B, X-tine, and $Johnny Cache$ to introduce them to power caching. Highlights of the trip include: -a whacky waving inflatable arms man....who just couldn't stand straight. Much laughter was spent over the 2ways on that one! -playing frogger on edmonton and sherwood parks roads, when the drivers dropped the runners off, and the runners ahd to make it bck across busy roads -family guy quotes on the 2 ways. -fyre wtching johnny tumble head over heels down a steep slope and almost doing the same thing herself -nika almost losing his shoe to evil sherwood park mud, then getting in our vehicle covered in it. :) -it was fyre's 23 birthday...what better way than to spend it caching with friends old and new. -getting beat out on an ftf that had been sitting there for a few days...by half an hour :( -the spruce trees weren't in attack mode this trip,in fact wefound some nice surprises in them. Our faith in them has been restored..yay! Thanks to everyone who's caches we found today. it was an absolute blast and epic day for us. Forestrogue Fyreakida (hums to herself happy bday to me...) 2007-09-22T20:00:00 Found it Plan - B BCP172 - Edmonton 12:14 Found on a power caching trip with X-tine, Johnny Cache, Forestrogue, Fyreakida and Nika. X-tine, Johnny and I hung in for 71 caches while the others carried on and hopefully hit their goal of 100+. This was our first kick at power caching and we topped our old one day record by 58 caches. We also officially found and logged our first brass cap on this trip. TNLNSL. The Good: Speed caching with new and old friends. A stupid funny blow up advertising guy who couldn’t quite stand up straight. Checking out everyone’s techno gadgets. Touring all sorts of areas I’ve never had the chance to see before. Family guy quotes on the 2 ways. 71 finds. Fyre’s birthday. The Bad: Johnny running down hill faster then his feet can carry him. Brass cap cold streaks. Mud (just ask Nika). Left turns. The Ugly: I imagine most of us the following morning. TFTBC, Plan-B. 2006-10-19T20:00:00 Found it geonana BCP172! Wahoo! This one was a toughy, especially with all the leaves this time of year. I did find a spoon, at least 20 bottle caps, and a penny before finally getting it. TFTH [This entry was edited by geonana on Monday, April 13, 2009 at 6:43:22 PM.] 2006-07-18T20:00:00 Found it Klimbing Kiddo BCP172-Edmonton Pretty easy find. TFTCap KK 2006-07-18T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP172 Edmonton. Found a good place to park and walk up a nice path right to the cap. TFTH 2006-07-09T20:00:00 Found it Sleepy_hollow BCP172 - Edmonton Queen Elizabeth Park A bit of a tricky spot as the grass needed to be cleared to make the find. TFTH and we'll send off the pictures shortly. 2006-06-10T20:00:00 Found it hurley_108 BCP172: Edmonton In the middle of a largish patch of grass. Took a little bit of looking to see it. I planted a stick in the ground for the next person. 2006-05-20T20:00:00 Found it Judy-Wan Kenobi BCP172 - Edmonton I dropped my geobuddy off at his place on the north side, and decided to nab this one on my way back to Calgary. Big mistake! Basically, you can't get there from here. And once you're there, you can't get home again! The miles I put on to my geo-Intrepid thanks to this cap are phenomenal! What's with all those one-way streets heading north? Don't they know that Calgary is where it's at? Anyway, this cap sure blends in with its surroundings - took a while to spot it, in part because the clue is out of date (no stove nearby). TFTC OFTN 2006-05-09T20:00:00 Found it LoomaLander BCP172 - Edmonton Queen Elizabeth Park Pretty much a walk up 2006-04-25T20:00:00 Found it Rocky 1 BCP 172 N53 31.472 W113 30.126 Nice warm spring day.

Had Mr. Speedy's help, as with the other cap today, but even then we both had to look quite a bit for both caps. This one was the same size, shape, and color as all the leaves on the ground (1000's of which I've moved around on my three visits!) and we finally found it very close to the scraps of pink flagging that were left on the ground - the last remnants of the survey stake which has probably become somebody's firewood... 2005-07-20T20:00:00 Found it XIITerraPaws BCP172 Edmonton N53 31.473 W113 30.128 Nice walk - interesting housing to the south of this park. 2005-07-12T20:00:00 Found it raw spirit BCP172 N 53.31.473 W 113.30.128 a big stick lead the way 2005-07-08T20:00:00 Found it Stig Figger BCP172 - Edmonton, Queen Elizabeth Park.

No stove around, but something was cookin' ... When we approached this one, we interrupted a couple having "lunch" ... yeah, sure! Had we come a little later they may've already been working on dessert! But ANYWAAAAY, found the cap easily, walking from up above. 2005-05-04T20:00:00 Found it Bush Creatures BCP 172 - Queen E.

A simple find today, thanks! 2023-07-23T20:00:00 Found it Weebits1907 BCP173 Barrier Dam (FOUND) We just finished coming back down the Prairie View Trail and this one was on the way to the truck. We were very warm and tired, and just wanted some AC from the vehicle, but thought we would try to make the find here. Initially, we went towards the edge, but saw the unstable ground sign. So a wee bit of searching back closer to the trail and we happily made the find. Full day hiking and caching, and this brass cap was the cherry on the cake. Thanks! 2016-12-17T20:00:00 Found it hunthikers BCP173 Barrier Lake En route to the Ribbon Creek hostel but a little early so opted to try to pick up this brass cap.

After a stop at the POW camp,and a cap and cache as well we came over to the Barrier Dam for this cap. The water was low but there was no ice forming. There was lots of natural debris about as well. The cap was spotted from afar but it was a little tretcherous getting off the berm and down to the cap. The walkers from the POW camp were making a loop across the dam and there were two other parties about taking pictures. Once at the guidepost it was a quick find. Thanks for the cap, outforthehunt! 2013-08-18T20:00:00 Found it Thonor1 BCP173 Barrier Dam N51° 02.011 W115° 02.442 On the way to Barrier Lake hike. 2013-08-18T20:00:00 Found it brendan714 BCP173 Barrier Dam N51° 02.011 W115° 02.442 A quick cap find on the way up to the fire lookout!

When we got within 50m of GZ, we realized we'd have to cross a wide snow bank. I tried first and was quickly engulfed up to my stomach. I ended up walking to the spillway and squeezed around and passed the snow while the family headed back to the car to get out of the falling snow. Found the cap in short order and in great shape. Took an easier path back to the car. Thanks for the cap. 2008-09-07T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP173 - Barrier Dam Alt. 1383 metres Well there was no mistaking this one.

Although the old GPSr shows a couple of caches in the area -- one is in the middle of the lake, and one is a "clue" rather than a cache. Brass cap to the rescue!

Better late than never. 2005-04-30T20:00:00 Found it ibycus BCP173 Back dated entry that I forgot to log... Somehow I missed this one when we did the breakfast. The people I was with at the time decided it was time to go home. By the time I noticed I hadn't yet picked this one up, I was 15km away.

Having had the pleasure of finding your nearby "Cisco's Island" cache this past winter, it felt like I was in - kind of - familiar territory. I say "kind of" because of course the earth looks so much different in this season. I was able to stroll over from parking and find the cap very quickly. Thanks for the cap! 2010-09-24T20:00:00 Found it gordoner BCP174 Sang Lake Lots of survey posts near this one. Made the find after a quick rest stop on the way to ETown.

TFTCap 2009-07-05T20:00:00 Found it RedRouge BCP174 Sang Lake I almost missed logging this cap, so many caps between Hinton and Edmonton<img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_shock.gif" border="0" align="middle" />.

Before I realized what I had done, I had stepped on the ant hill that has been constructed at the edge of the cap and was soon covered in ants. It took a while before I could get a clear cap shot that wasn't covered in ants. The best one still had 4 or 5 ants on it. My GPSr and legs returned to the car with a few more clinging ants on them. Thanks for the cap. 2009-05-30T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP174 - Sang Lake Elev. 916 metres The sun was getting lower and lower on the western horizon, and the wind was starting to have a bit of a bite to it. Not that it was cold, it just [i]felt[/i] cold in the unrelenting gusts. I'm blaming that for the amount of time it took me to finally run this one to ground. Not that having two separate survey markers helped, or the fact that the cap wasn't in front of the direction that the proper marker was facing... oh never mind. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_blush.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The coordinates were good, the hint was great, and once I actually trusted the GPSr, a few probes with the screwdriver hit the brass below the grass. I left the marker pole just north of the cap adorned with a length of flagging to help the next finder. The cap itself is in fairly good shape, with a number of small strikes on its surface that do not obscure the identification numbers. Thanks for the cap! 2008-11-08T20:00:00 Found it Mr. CanoeHead BCP174 Sang Lake There were several survey markers in the area but it didn't take the Paddle long to find the one with the brass cap. 2008-06-17T20:00:00 Found it MadMother BCP174 - Sang Lake N53.34.643 W116.08.295 Found this one on my way back to Hinton in the grass not far from the fence line.

What better time to go visit the provincial legislative grounds to find some brass caps there. We found this one in short order. Arriving around lunch time, j0ckser and I found that the day’s hourly tours would be starting at 1:00 pm. Let’s see…that’s in five minutes. Ooohh my, my, let’s take advantage of THAT opportunity to go catch the cap INSIDE the building. On our way home, we stopped by the Lois Hole commemorative garden as well as the monument to fallen RCMP and other police officers from across the province. What a lovely day for caching and fortuitous timing for the tour! Thanks for the BCP OTFH. 2016-06-28T20:00:00 Found it RCWard BCP176- Edmonton On our way out of Alaska on our move to Utah. This was the seventh day of our journey and it was another great day for our drive. From Anchorage we went to Dawson through the Top of the World Highway and then eventually made our way to Regina where we turned south and headed to Denver for Geowoodstock 14 and afterwards headed west to Salt Lake City to end our journey. This was another cache we found after leaving Grande Prairie heading to Edmonton. After checking into our hotel we headed back to this side of town to grab a few caches and then to visit the mall. After we were done at the mall, we started looking around town for some virtual and earthcaches. We eventually stopped by here to find the First Post Edmonton virtual and had seen this one was also in Edmonton at the time so figured we could get two virtuals at once. The Capitol building was very interesting as well as the park area outside. We took our time walking around and looking around before heading on our way to get some more caches. RCWard 2016-06-27T20:00:00 Found it GJO_2010 BCP176 EDMONTON My last Alberta cache for the time being. Really enjoyed all these virtual caches that took me to many a great place.

Thanks for the brass cap. 2015-09-12T20:00:00 Found it Black Shark BCP176 Edmonton When we first came by we found two young ladies in formal dresses sitting here. It was not until we turned our attention from being tourists to being geocachers that we realized that they had been right on the cap! By that time they had moved on and we had no problems meeting our logging requirements. Thanks for another well chosen cap to find with ManjaLou! 2015-09-12T20:00:00 Found it manjalou BCP176 Edmonton We found this cap with the Black Sharks on a wonderful day of caching in Edmonton. We had to wait for 2 ladies to move along as they were pretty much sitting on top of the BCP before we could go over to make the find. We enjoyed our visit to the legislative building and walking around its grounds.

Mrs MK was down for a tour of the legislature and ran out of time. Mr MK was down doing some work at the OFC, however in February there seems to be a "little" snow piled on the cap. This time of year no problem, and we made it back before our 17 minutes on the meter expired.

My Elevation: 661 m(( The most miraculous thing about the experience for this one was that I was able find parking immediately, in a free spot no less! <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_cool.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> The grounds were pretty quiet as I approached. There were a few teenage kids romping around in the shallow pools with summer garb on – and I had two layers and a rain resistant jacket on – wow, they must have been at least a little chilly in that water. What looked like a small news crew were getting ready to shoot a piece as I passed by, trying to stay out of shot and not be part of the TV news. I see they actually made it into my context shot though. Yes, this was a pretty easy find, and the cap is in remarkably good shape for living in such a public spot. Thanks for the cap!

At one point I was getting a GZ some 20 meters north of the actual cap, at a mouse trap tethered to a tree in the flowerbed.

Wonderful area. Must be very busy in the summer, but empty today. TiE Jr. found the cap before we caught up with him. After the required photos we went on to hunt down the Edmonton First Post. Thanks for the cap! 2009-10-29T20:00:00 Found it rat root BCP176 EDMONTON Great day for cap hunting. 2009-05-26T20:00:00 Found it Strider's Ride BCP176 Edmonton Finding parking around the legislature during the week is close to impossible so after searching in vain getting exasperated I drove up to the Sheriff & explained the important task at hand. He was an understanding kind of guy & gave me a spot for 10 minutes very close to the building...right on! TFTCap 2009-05-09T20:00:00 Didn't find it mrcanoehead224 BCP176 - Edmonton Legislature grounds d'oh!, I thought this was the one in front of First Post. I got photos of it and was ready to log when I saw other logs and realized I got it wrong. only a few metres at the time but now almost 300 kms away... I'll blame the protestors on this Saturday afternoon. 2009-05-03T20:00:00 Found it van der Decken BCP176 - Edmonton Elev. 663 metres The parking lots at the legislature were blocked off today, so it took me a while to find some suitable nearby on street parking. Ah, the joys of navigating an unfamiliar part of an unfamiliar city! With it being Sunday (and parking being in short supply) the grounds were largely empty, so there weren't very many people around to take notice of what I was up to. I had initially thought that the cap was going to be in the steps going up to the building, but my GPSr lead me to the corner of a large plot of greenery. The cap itself is in very good shape and reading the numbers is not a problem. Thanks for the cap! 2007-10-17T20:00:00 Found it Plan - B BCP176 Found this cap and one to the West across the wading pond.

Even though the forecast was for some rain, the temperatures were supposed to hit the double digits so I decided to go. For the first few brass caps, I parked and walked around to each of them as they were in fairly close proximity from each other. Besides I needed to get out and stretch my legs. Most were quick finds, although the surface of some of the caps was unreadable.

So I focused on this brass cap though I was a bit worried about the recent snowfall but as it turns out, the homeowners at GZ were responsible and very attentive to their duties and the brass cap was an easy find. Whew! I however drew the attention of some barking muggles at the window across the street but I also met another one of our geo-dog's kin out for a walk with his muggle parent. He was so friendly (well, both of them ;-) )! TFTBC. It makes me wonder how "deep" the brass cap is secured and how they poured the sidewalk around the cap. I have to assume the sidewalk came second. ;-) Cap in good shape and well readable. Info and pics to come. 2017-01-03T20:00:00 Found it hunthikers BCP179 Calgary - Varsity Out nearby to return a duplicated gift so opted for this brass cap for the daily cache.

Sad to see it go for sure. I've had a great week of finding a cap each day for my cache du jour. Again, wish I had discovered the joy sooner. :) This first one I found tricky. All the leaves on the ground made things difficult. And last night's rain didn't help. Eventually (after a quite a bit of shuffling) I noticed the correct slight indent in the ground and uncovered the cap. :) Pics taken and I was on to the next one! I had 15 in mind to find today but this ended up being the first of 13 for me.....muggle issues at the other two! TFTBC and a great morning of capping! 2017-05-01T20:00:00 Found it cailloupot BCP180 Edmonton Nice quick find in the dark, last one for the night, thanks for the cap! 2017-04-30T20:00:00 Found it mkPerry BCP180 Edmonton While in the west end decided to grab a couple more BCPs. On the way to this one the rain really started to come down but we were hopeful it would let up by the time we got there. We lucked out with it only drizzling when we pulled up right next to it. M went out to discover it while K waited in the dry car. Easily found but need a bit of cleaning to read the numbers. Some was probably from the pond Stonagal had found. Thanks outforthehunt for another one. 2017-04-22T20:00:00 Write note Stonagal BCP180 - Edmonton Found where the cap was and was able to feel the metal through the pooled muddy water.

It was mostly grown over, but i was able to find it using my new screwdriver probe, compliments of BVPete :) Clearing a bit of grass and clover, and I exposed a cap in great shape. I think this may be the newest date i've found too. :) 2015-06-23T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP 180 Edmonton After finding the Ft Edmonton cap we travelled over to this cap area via Whitemud Drive, a very quick trip. The context photos posted by other finders proved very useful here, thanks. I added one more that is only useful in one direction but should help when combined with others. Thanks for posting this cap ofth, its' in another nice park that seems to be full of walkers today. 2015-06-11T20:00:00 Found it KinderKen BCP180 Edmonton: This one was a fairly quick find.

Thanks! 2013-10-16T20:00:00 Found it GeoDreamCacher BCP180 - Edmonton; I was up in Edmonton for a meeting today and drove over this direction to pick up a new winter coat. I had picked up a beautiful rainbow-coloured fall coat for my daughter, Squirrel Nutcacher, several years ago at the Farmers' Market downtown. She looks great in it so I thought that Dad should have one to match. I contacted the lady from whose stall we had purchased the jacket and she had two in my size. As I headed over to her address in the west end of Edmonton I noticed that my GPSr was showing a brass cap not two blocks away. What can I say?! A BCP in the area?? Must have!! LOL! I have sent the photographic evidence to OFTH and am glad to see another smiley on my page. I really must check and see how many more BCPs I need to collect before I have them all. Happy caching! 2013-08-26T20:00:00 Found it MKFmly BCP180 Edmonton Posted Coordinates: N53° 30.100 W113° 38.911 My Phone Coordinates: N53° 29.674 W113° 39.135 (phone way off on this one) A rather quick drive over to this cap even with Monday rush hour traffic. Lots of parking available but we despaired of finding the cap. The grass was very long hiding the traditional cap depression. Going by feel w a little to obvious so we relied on the context shots to narrow down the search area. One correct step and the depression was found. Thanks for the cap, outforthehunt! 2013-07-21T20:00:00 Found it gumbyphv I found BCP180 Edmonton today. When I got to GZ wasn't sure where this brass cap was but a quick sweep with the pin finder and I soon located it. Dug down a little to expose the monument and that's the brass cap. Nice to be able to come and grab some caches while Mrs. Gumby in is in the mall shopping.

Use a context shot (usually van der Decken's, sometime Dawntreaders) to get a sense of where the cap was in relation to nearby references 2. User the metal detector to until I got an indication of where the cap might be 3. poke that likely spot with a long screwdriver until I heard a distinctive “KLINK”** of metal on brass and then start digging with a trowel in that spot. That was exactly what happened when I found this cap. My picture doesn't show the cap clearly because it's a few inches down in the ground, but it's there. Thanks for the cap! ** Not to be confused with that other distinctive “KLINK”, the camp Kommandant of Hogan's Heroes fame. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_wink.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> 2011-09-10T20:00:00 Found it Sears Tower BCP180 Edmonton This one was difficult to find even with the use of metal detectors due to some construction debris.

This was the first stop of the day. I had loaded all of vdD's contexts shots into the Oregon 550t this morning. They proved to be incredibly valuable today.

QEF TFTC! 2017-04-08T20:00:00 Found it EdgeMonks BCP181 Spruce Grove, 692 This one was quick to locate, and the numbers are pristine! I think this will be my final cap found before the rules change. OFTH, thanks for this nice series that has entertained us Albertain cachers for many years. I'm disappointed that the rules have changed that will no longer will allow logging a cache multiple times. Your Brass Cap cache with van der Decken's tool is likely unique in Geocaching since we gave an excellent tool that automatically tracks our logs on this cache so that it is easy to maintain which caps we've found. Thanks to both of you for a lot of fun seeing our Province. 2016-11-08T20:00:00 Found it BVPete BCP181 Spruce Grove It was only a short drive from the Back to School cap to this one. Once again it was a quick find with the cap elevated a bit above the grass level. I grabbed the photos and cap info, retreated to the car and we headed for Devon for the final cap of the day. Thanks for the 2 Spruce Grove caps ofth. 2015-06-01T20:00:00 Found it GeoGuider BCP181 Spruce Grove Posted: N53° 33.097 W113° 54.944 My GPSr: N53° 33.096 W113° 54.945 After the “Spruce Grove Meet - Jumpin' Junipers, It's June!” event, we found the Jumpin’ Junipers, it’s June!” cache across the street. VP suggested that we walk over to the nearby brass cap. This was an easy curbside find, though it’s been chewed up a little by a snowplow so says the owner of the house. He had to add a little cement to hold it in place. VP gave a lesson on how to log a brass cap. 2015-06-01T20:00:00 Found it j0ckser BCP181 Spruce Grove Found with several cachers after 'Spruce Grove Meet - Jumpin' Junipers, It's June!' event.
