+Sue and Bernie Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 ... in October this year, coming from the UK. I would like some advise on the weather that time of year and some recommended caches in the region. Cheers... Sue & Bernie Quote Link to comment
+PDOP's Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 The weather in the fall can vary quite a bit from sunny and +20ºC to snow and -20ºC so best to come prepared for both. There are quite a few caches in the area. One of the best (even though I didn't find it thid spring) isTrailblazer Beaver Lurewhich has a unique hike in if you come at it from the west side.

+Sue and Bernie Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 Went there, did that one and you were right! Weather was brilliant, no bugs and the views were excellent. Thanks for the pointer. We experienced hot, yes, hot weather in mid October for our first 10 days, some snow, some really brisk winds and more sunshine. Cracked a few other caches but, being a stranger in a strange land and only being used to an environment where dangerous beasts have been totally eradicated, skipped a few of the caches out in the wild, deserted areas. It was unnerving to visit places like the recreational parks round Cold Lake that are obviously teeming with people during the summer but totally devoid of human life in the cold weather. We did feel isolated - just 20 miles out of town! Thank you for taking the trouble, should you venture to my locale, I would be delighted to return the favour. Cheers...

+PDOP's Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Glad to hear that you had a good visit. I was up in the area just after Thanksgiving Day and had a good hike into this cache. There was a little bit of everything weather wise too PDOP's GPS Pages Quote Link to comment
