Master Index    Nearest Caches Parker Forest by burchil (1/2) (Archived) N49° 50.977  W97° 10.220 (WGS84) UTM  14U   E 631532  N 5523516 Use waypoint: GCP5WJ Size: Small    Hidden on 6/3/2005 In Manitoba, Canada Difficulty:     Terrain:               The cache is found in a wooded area north of Parker Ave, Winnipeg. After heavy rain and in the spring the area is very wet. This cache is in a clear container with a screw down red top. This is a nice wooded area that is rarely used with a good chance of a deer encounter. South of the forest there is a wide hydro (electrical) right of way that is used quite a bit by people walking their dogs. See June 6th, 2005 (spoiler) if you want to find a possible dry foot route. In the winter you can get reasonably close on walking trails.

Ok, this was a really nice hike for the morning. Once you get through the first line of trees, the general noise from the city begins to fade out. Ahh, peacefulness. Couple of interesting things seen on the way towards the cache though. A cement... box... thing, an old tire (Renegade brand... never even heard of that one. Bald as a cue-ball though), some railroad wooden beams that looks like some kid tried to make a fort out of. Pretty interesting things you see wandering through the middle of undeveloped land. Gotta love it.
Of course, in typical Kabuthunk fashion, I just walked straight through a massive, tall patch of thistles towards the cache. Yay for growing up in the country and knowing how to not get hurt doing that! Bushwhacked my way generally straight towards the cache, and found it quite quickly. Although, it's 'hiding spot' was looking a little worse for wear, but still workable. However, on the way back, I decided to try a different route, that looked like a path. Yeah, animal paths don't work the same as people paths . So for about 50 meters, I was crouching to about 3 feet tall (as in, almost crawling) under various branches and bushes, trying to follow a trail that something OBVIOUSLY 1/4 or less my size had made. I made it though, with minimal to no damage to the plantlife! Another trip through my thistle-patch, and I was home free!
