End of 2020 is near!!!

 Geochallenge of the Month

So the challenge this month (December) was to leave something like a small gift in a cache for the next finder. Just a token of appreciation for them. Oliver and I went out on Dec. 5th, just 1 day after the Geocaching Vlogger announced the Challenge, and we found a large enough cache to put in a bag of swag for the next finder. It was a nearby cache called, "Coquitlam River TB Hotel"

Here is my log on the cache:

Nice Quick find with magicboy12
Needed to complete the Geochallenge of the Month. Left a cool bag of swag including some pins, an unactivated geocoin, my pathtag, my FTF Trading card that is also trackable and some other stuff for the next cacher that comes along.

Caching Aldergrove Regional Park



Aldergrove Regional Park is located on the border of Aldergrove and Langley and just a short distance from the US Border. The park is very popular with families for its easy trails, scenic landscape, and multiple picnic areas. The area also has a number of horse trails and the wide open section of Aldergrove Bowl is popular with horseback riders.We even saw a few horses on the trail, that we had to move off to let them by.

The "historic" lake in the park was formerly located on the west side but had to be removed due to needing major repairs. The lake was actually a man-made cement pool but was filled in and is now a grassy picnic area.

Can you see it? This one took a little bit of looking as it wasn't were the hint suggested.
The hint on one of the caches was "X marks the spot" This was near the cache, but was not the "X" we needed to find. We finally figured it out after searching here for about 15 minutes. Lol. Hint, look at pics on the logs!!

Cool social distancing signs on the trails

Some cool fungus we saw in our travels
