Just a quick note. Since my niece was still in the mood to geocache after finding the nearby 'Welcome to Carman' cache, she opted to re-locate some of the ones she had found in the past.

However, it had been quite some time since she was here, and wasn't able to locate it right off the hop. My brother in law actually ended up staring DIRECTLY AT IT, and then proceeded to turn to me and say he didn't know where it was located.

Smirking (and having a full memory of the location of this cache), I proceeded to nudge it for them, and watch their amusement as they discovered the true awesomeness of the cache container.

My niece (being the trade-loving one that she is) traded a quarter for the exact same plastic beaded necklace that she put in there the first time we found it back in 2007 ToungeOut. So hey, since the necklace obviously wasn't doing too well for trading, maybe some money will do a bit better ToungeOut.

So yeah, all is well with the cache... it's still here, in good condition in general, and yeah. Although, you may want to consider getting a new logbook at one point. The current one looks to be breaking apart along the binding in a few places, making for several mini-logbooks. Other than that, perfect condition Smile.

SWEET! Now THIS was an awesome type of cache container to help introduce two new people into the world of geocaching. Had my niece and my almost-sister-in-law with me for their very first times geocaching. This cache definitely made a good impression on them... nice stuff Smile Smile Smile

Started out poking around the bushes there. I noted that this cache said that it was winter-friendly, but the coordinates for some reason kept leading me towards the bush. Quite possibly could have been the cold, or some other factor.

Nonetheless... after about 5 or so minutes of the three of us poking around the bushes, I looked at the hint... which didn't really make much sense to me at the time. Looking around... I noticed something that just didn't... "seem right". And, as it typically is with things that just don't seem right... the hunch turned out to be correct. The duo of new geocachers were quite amused with the hiding spot, and poked around at the stuff inside. Again, they were wanting to trade for stuff, and my niece had some beaded necklaces she brought for trading. They ended up claiming keychain (which we later discovered to be a keychain-screwdriver with multiple heads) and a pin, and left two beaded necklaces... and the ever-present chainmail ball. Hopefully today's experience will get them both more into geocaching.

Will hopefully be able to take 'em geocaching more... but preferably when it's not -20 and windy out ToungeOut. Didn't write much in the logbook other than the date, my name, and what was taken/left. Might be kinda hard to read... but I could barely feel my fingers at this point... so I'm surprised I was even capable of holding the pen ToungeOut. Mental note... next time, don't forget gloves in Winnipeg ToungeOut.

Took: Tool keychain and pin
Left: Logbook entry, chainmail ball, 2 beaded necklaces

Note: Wish I could have left two different items... but it was their very first day geocaching. I'll teach 'em the trade-even-or-trade-up more thoroughly before a second run at geocaching.
