+camillabacher Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Fellow geocachers, I am extremely embarrassed! I placed a geocache near Moraine Lake shoreline trail, unaware about the park services special rules for placement of new geocaches. I logged several other geocaches inside the park including one that was placed there from a vacational geocacher who was not able to maintain it himself. I had not planned to place the cache in advance, but the container and logbook was intented to be used for replacement of another geocache inside the park, which turned out to be fairly OK after all, and then I thought Moraine deserved a cache since Louise had one too... This is not an excuse, but an explanation so I hope this will not turn into a discussion about whether or not I am a fool. Which I admit I am :-) Instead I am looking for a solution to the problem. I am looking for a local geocacher, who is planning on going up there anyway, to retrieve the unpublished cachecontainer. He or she may off course keep the container and the brand new coin inside. Furthermore I am willing to pay the cost of gasoline for someone going up from Calgary or a similar place. It is a beautiful place well worth the visit anyway. If interested, please contact me via my geocaching profile which is: camillabacher and I will send coordinates and a description on where it is. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+DanOCan Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I just sent a message -- I might be able to help you out. Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I know a cacher from Victoria who might still be in the area on vacation. I've sent them a note, but you may get a response from DanOCan's contact first. Quote Link to comment
+camillabacher Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Landsharkz - thanks. Highly appreciated. As I understand it, Dan is not able to go until in about a month from now. I am not sure if the road will be open then. Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) It is a lovely lake... we were there a few months ago . This is our family (and friends) pic from when we visited the nearby EarthCache. Edited October 4, 2011 by Landsharkz Quote Link to comment
+CanadianRockies Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 After seeing the same request for assistance on our local Calgary forums, I sent the cache hider a note explaining that we're planning to visit Moraine Lake/Lake Louise this weekend and offered to pick up the cache. Will be happy to defer to anyone else who wants to retrieve it, though. In any case, it looks like this matter soon will be solved. Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 It's yours CR... my contact hasn't replied. Quote Link to comment
+CanadianRockies Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The cache owner has sent us the necessary information. The road to Moraine Lake usually closes from early October until May. So, if we don't pick it up this weekend, then the cache probably will be spending the winter there. Quote Link to comment
+Soomething Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 If you're unable to get up there I can go today assuming the road isn't closed yet. Quote Link to comment
+CanadianRockies Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 If you're unable to get up there I can go today assuming the road isn't closed yet. Sorry. I should have posted a note earlier. We successfully retrieved the cache, thanks to good coordinates and a very descriptive "hint." Quote Link to comment
