Madrone Grove Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

mazdamattc: Well, I'm afraid I have to archive this one. I always knew there was a dangerous amount of muggle activity in this park at night, but I underestimated the true lowlife nature of it's nocturnal visitors. Upon checking the cache today, I found the ammo can gone, and it's contents dumped in a pile about 20 feet away. The "Clueless in Kent" TB was also taken. The worst part was that the whole area was covered with literally scores of broken beer bottles, and it looked like someone had been beating on a few of the beautiful trees with a blunt object. A sizeable chunk was also cut out of the picnic table as well. I have seen trash near the cache before, and always tried to pack it out, but I'm not sure how to even begin cleaning up this mess, since all the bottles are smashed. I't will probably take me months of trips, taking out a little at a time. Stay tuned for a future (third time's the charm) cache in this park. I'll probably just make it a micro, something to continue to get nice geocachers here to enjoy what is truly a beautiful piece of urban nature.

Geocache Description:

This is a nice spot for a peaceful picnic on a scenic loop drive around West Seattle. It is in a grove of some very impressive pacific madrone trees. Remember to cache in-trash out, and beware of muggles. The last cache I hid in this general area disappeared. I'll try to make sure this one stays well hidden.

I've stocked this cache with some nice original contents, including Hot Wheels cars. I would love it if this cache continued to have "car" related stuff left in it, but don't intend for it to be a theme cache. I'll try to post some photos of myself and my "caching vehicles" periodically, and invite everyone who posts finds here to do the same. Good luck!
