Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Make sure to bring a flashlight and a sweater. It will get cold and dark if you come from the east side. It can be a Family cache, though there are some tricky spots. Don't always take the direct route! Use Exit 54 on Hwy 90.

 

For the claustrophobic, I would suggest coming up from the west side of the cache instead of the east side. You'll know why by reading this article.

Off Highway 90, you can actually get within a half of a mile from the cache. Deceptive! Don't pull over on the highway! Do some research first.

The recommended starting point is 47.39279 -121.39311

If you have more problems, I would suggest going to 47.39489 -121.44736 for a hint on how to get to it. Just print out this page and use it only if you have real problems.

Happy caching! 7/7/08 UPDATE- Coordinates posted were taken from the center of the trail. Find the trail sign. Cache is located directly above, on the South side of the trail. Will update soon with photos and spot on coords.

Caching with hamsx2 and hams2x. We found the cache while on a quest for the APR cache. We followed the GPS and re-read the cache page. Could believe it was hidden in there. This water is cold up here. Found the cache safe and dry. Thanks for the smiley of an old cache.

Phew! Majeda and I ran into Hamx2 and Ham2x while just getting to GZ. Luckily we did otherwise we might not have gotten this one. Thanks for the great, older cache. SL

[Last cache of the day for Hamsx2, Invertedvee & Myself. We read the hint and Invertedvee & I headed up the hill 60feet west of the cache I follow my GPS & Geosense. I found the cache with my Geostick but was unable to retrieve it. Invertedvee came to the rescue and braved the rushing water to reaching in and grabbing it.] Qvq V zragvba gur pnpur jnf haqre jngre gbqnl... Ohg Qel vafvqre.

Out with AC on this one and we caught up with HamsX2 while they were just finishing up. We were glad they stuck around to give us a hint on this one. TFTH Cache-on
