Sleeping Bull Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Blue Heron: Obviously someone put the cache container in the wrong position at some point. In its correct location, it should be totally dry. Since (1) we are leaving for the summer in a week and (2) there's no way I can get over there to replace the container before we go, and (3) temporarily disabling will just mean a bunch of "reminder notes" from Geocaching.com before we get back, I'm calling it quits on this one. Thanks to those who had the time and patience to log this one over the years.

Geocache Description:

Don't wake the Sleeping Bull!


 

SEPTEMBER 1, 2006.  Numerous cachers have reported bee stings here.  It might be wise to avoid this one until the cooler weather arrives.

While driving around Tacoma looking for an appropriate site for “The Light of Ve,” I swung through Point Defiance Park and, more specifically, the Camp 6 Logging Exhibit.  There was no place suitable for “The Light” but this location just leaped out at me.  What a spot for a micro!  It reminded me of “ Boom!” in Redmond and " Spur of the moment" in Kent.

Satellite reception here was surprisingly spotty, but it doesn't really matter.  Even the most accurate coordinates would, at best, only get you to the "Sleeping Bull."  They probably wouldn't narrow your search very much from that point.  The above numbers were the best I could do. 

Cache is a small magnetic container and it is well concealed.  I'm glad I don't have to find it!  Bring your own writing tool.

NO CLIMBING IS REQUIRED. 

THE CACHE CAN BE REACHED WITH BOTH YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND!
