Sorry, have to quickly delete my old post and re-log. Due to an accidental mis-logging of a different cache, I need to kinda re-log the caches for this day (luckily only two) in the right order. Don't worry, my first log has already been deleted.

But anyway, I forgot to log this one for a few days. In either case, my friend Justin and I had just finished both injuring myself and locating a puzzle cache, and were still in the mood for more biking. In actuality, I've never travelled the full length of this path before, so I was quite curious as to where it went.

Well, I knew in general where it had to go, but you know what I mean.

After a bit more biking to the West down the path, we found ourselves.... about 500 meters too far . Whoops... don't look at the GPS often enough, travel a half-kilometer away from the cache. Mental note... don't do that . Not that it took us long to get back to the coordinates, given we were on bikes. As an added 'thankfully' bonus, the path was strangely quiet of bystanders either biking or walking by. Well, by 'quiet', I mean that there was usually about a 5-10 minute interval between sets of people. Plenty of time to do some geocaching!

When I got to the coordinates, we hopped off the bike and kicked back for a bit. It's a surprisingly beautiful day for biking today . Probably one of the last few really warm days of summer. It actually ended up taking me only about 15 seconds to find the cache container. I was a bit worried it would have been somewhere else, where I had envisioned a 20-minute search. And given my friend Justin isn't much for geocaching and was just there for the bike-ride, it's probably for the best that I found it quickly . Although personally, I'd consider this more of a 'micro' container than a 'small', but that's just me. I didn't have any TB's or geocoins to drop off anyway, so it's irrelevant one way or the other .

After making the find, I took a quick perusal through the cache container and lobbed in a micromail ball. Although the foreign currency in there was looking kinda interesting... I've been contemplating making some kind of neck chain involving chainmail out of some yen at one point or another, but I wasn't sure if this was 'real' or just the 'fake' stuff from just about any store. Bah, I need to look at pictures of yen online sometime... this currency is in just about every cache .

But I digress. After making the find, I replaced the cache as found and we continued down the path. I quickly realized that I had been on the far West side of this path in the past. The now-archived Greetings from Belgium 2 is at the end of this trail. Looks like the old hiding spot has had a LOT of work done to it to clean it up. There's no way the cache would have survived until now anyway . Continuing to the end of the path, we discovered that the 'gravel', city-maintained path kinda comes to a dead-end, but leads on as a dirt path into the trees. Justin wasn't up for that, so we turned around. We just found it a little weird that it just kinda... stopped. Strange.

But thanks for taking me down this path! I think I've found a new, shorter route to bike from my place to Assinaboine Park !

Took: Nothing
Left: Logbook entry and micromail ball

EDIT: Wow... strange how when I put the incorrect link in for the 'injuring myself', that combined with the cache I WANTED the link to go to being temporarily disabled, it makes it REALLY hard to find that log. Especially when I didn't remember the name for it. Well... in either case, that's why this cache is edited ridiculously late after having found it... fixing the link.
