Geocache Description:

If this isn't the most exhilarating cache you've ever hunted at night, I'll give you double your money back!

Who's galloping now bee-atch?!

 

WARNING!
This cache is not recommended for small children, dogs, cats, and the faint of heart!

 

You can park under the bridge if you like.  Go to the coordinates above and read the big sign about the history of the Tacoma Narrows, you may learn something. To find the cache though, turn this giant sign around.

Take those numbers and put them to the right of the decimal point in the latitude and longitude provided above. Now, go find the cache! Satellite reception is excellent at the cache location and you should be able to get WAAS corrections.

Specifications:

  • Final coordinates were obtained with 11 satellites including two WAAS, differentially corrected, with a reported accuracy of six feet.

  • Cache container is very small and contains a log book and two pencils. There is not room for much else. It is held in place by two magnets. See the photo.

Ratings explained: I gave it a 2.5 difficulty because it really isn't very hard to find, but you will have to look or feel around for it. The terrain is smooth with a slight incline, no climbing required. I rated the terrain a 2.5 because of the long drop on your right as you approach the cache location. Some may not be bothered by this and would probably rate it lower. As for the left.........

Nonetheless, it's quite exhilarating.

Please avoid "spoilers" in your find logs, save the surprise for the next finder.
