2 weeks, 3 Provinces, 6 States, One Mega,3 oldest caches..Part 2 - Alberta & the oldest

I spent two nights in the Drayton Valley area with my GF.  While she was at work I did some caching in Drayton Valley itself as well as finding a couple of caches on the nearby back 40 (or more) owned by her geocaching neighbors.  Felt weird on private property but as long as you respected the fences and cows you were good to go...
I tried to take pictures of the array of little brown butterflies on her lawn but they were very quick..The spider however wasn't...

 As I was leaving on the Tuesday  I stopped to take pictures of this guy sitting on the fence post.  He had no problem with me getting within 15 - 20 feet of him or even stopping to change lenses...

Today's goal was to grab a few roadside caches on the way to Leduc to pick up The Pollywog and then head out to Strathcona Wilderness for the oldest cache in Alberta.  I have wanted to do this cache every time I drive past it but I have always had my dog(s) with me.  Not this time...
We arrived at the parking area to some pretty hot temperatures, outdoor kid programs, and mossies...I really really got bitten but the walk in the area and all the great quantity caches was well worth it...

Strathcona Wilderness 1

Including Strathcona Wilderness 1 we found a total of 5 caches along the trail.   A little bushwacking finding the right way in.

We headed back up to Hwy 16 and east with a few more stops before getting into LLoydminster where we would stay with my daughter and her family for a few days..
