Itinerary:

Come for a nice hike along the gravel paths in Mill Creek Ravine and try to find hidden treasure in the woods!
We will use a GPS (global positioning system) unit to find 2 or 3 geocaches stashed in the bushes near the trail.
These are small stashes containing dollar store trinkets and a log book to log your visit.
PLEASE NOTE: There is some bushwacking involved and possibly some slippery footing, so wear good hiking boots, long pants and bring a long sleeved shirt to protect yourself from scratches.
Bring the dog too, as most of the hike is in the off leash area.
We can go for a coffee after at the Blue Chair Cafe - (9624 76th Ave).
We'll meet in the field at 73rd Ave and 91st St. and people can park on 91st St.

Shirley will be wearing a black baseball cap that says Canadian Helicopters.
