Welcome Twilight fans to Forks Washington, and to the Official Forks Geocache! Thank you Geocachers for keeping our geocache FUN!! You keep it clean, you put cute little things in there, and you keep puttin' cool Travel Bugs in it to keep it popular. You ROCK! -TZA, Forks Geocache Team

The cache is chock-full of goodies courtesy of Geocachers from around the world, Univ of WA Olympic Natural Resources Center, City of Forks, and many other Forks community members. Swag includes animal tracks guide, tree guide, and small first-aid kit, etc. Please leave for others to enjoy!

The geocache is located along a small, ~2-mile-long trail system. It is a western hemlock forested area, less than 1/2 mile south from "downtown Forks". Terrain not difficult. A map of the Trail area showing the entire trail system is below, but caution! it may be a real spoiler if you decrypt the hints below as well.

Please park either at: (1)the Forks Visitor's Center on Hwy 101 and, behind it, hike up the hill for a good workout, or (2) the 'main office' parking area at the University of Washington Olympic Natural Resources Center (ONRC), and hike around the trail that circles the ONRC.

This area is a free-range-pets area so far! Yay! Please remove on-trail pet "evidence" to keep it that way. Thank you!

Thanks for visiting the official Forks Geocache!
