Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

A multi-stage cache all within the same park. Total walking distance should be a little more than one mile. Paths are paved or in very good shape. Dogs will probably be happiest (can be unleashed) near the final cache and can enjoy a swim if they like.

Parking in the main park parking lot will not add to the required travel distance even though it may not be the closest area to the first waypoint.

Waypoint 1 – N 47° 35.255 W 122° 13.510

ABCD = year created
E = number of grass berms including the source (center)
F = D + E

Waypoint 2 – N 47° 35.EFD W 122° 13.E63

GH = number of hands
J = H-G
K = G+H

Waypoint 3 – N 47° 35.JBC W 122° 13.HGC

LMNP = year built
Q = P-N
R = P-L

Final Cache is at N47° 35.KMR W 122° 13.QDM

You are looking for a well-identified, medium size (.50 caliber) olive colored ammo box. There is no need to create a new path, although it is very well hidden from the path that travels right next to it. When replacing the cache, please make sure it is not visible from the main paved path.

Original contents include mostly children's toys and dog (and dawg) stuff:

Booda (rope) Bone
nylon leash
tennis ball
chain slip collar
small goose beanie baby
touchable bubbles ducky
frisbee
toy truck
toy flower pot
Space game
Joy of Cola keychain
(2) Husky decals
mini-cache #12 travel bug
