Geocache Description:

A short (1/4 mile or so) walk from a little known park through a little known trail system to an unexpectedly great view.

This is a fairly small tupperware-ish container that is fairly well hidden near a great viewpoint. There may be several routes to get to this cache but we took a fairly easy one. If you want to follow the route we used, park near Garfield Park at N 47-16.196, W 122-27.424.
This is another cache that we placed in an area that could use some trash clean-up. We took out a couple of bags the day we placed the cache, so feel free to do the same.
Once you get to the viewpoint (you will know when you have arrived), you are close. However, we hid the cache fairly well as this is an area obviously frequented by mischevious teenagers who may be involved in the partaking of alcoholic beverages, so you may need to use the hint below to find the actual cache.
Cache is a small tupperware type container with a red lid that requires a little extra effort to get on well, so please make sure you have the lid back on before you leave. Also, try to rehide at least as well as it was hidden when you found it.

Original contents of the cache are:

Logbook, pencil, and geocaching letter.
A Cellular Phone Cover
A Large Super Bouncy Ball
A Wind Up Duckling
A Miniature Dallas Cowboy Coffee Mug
A 1988 Midwest League Burlington Minor League Baseball Card Team Set (from McDonalds)
A Squished Penny (our trademark)
A Squished Quarter
Several Mini-Magnets
