Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Fish Lake environs. If you're interested in a short walk and some fine views please continue reading.

Not much in the way of caches in this part of the world so my buddy Troy and I came visiting. We proceeded up the Clear Creek drainage and around to Fish Lake where we spent a couple of nights. We stashed the cache on a rainy day in August and I'm just now getting around to posting it. The cache itself is a tupperware box filled with a vial of Mt. St. Helens ash, ( collected from my deck in N. Idaho, the day of), $2 Canadian coin, American flag sticker, a mini plant press, a couple of post cards, magnifying lens, a home created Pacific NW Animals crossword puzzle and a couple of transparency UTM coorinate tools. (Who works in Lat.- Lon. anymore?)
If you use a map to get yourself to the cache, and that map has trails marked on it, beware that there are many more trails than what you'll see on the map! From the north shore of Fish Lake you can see a ridge that will take you most of the way or you can enter and get there from a trailhead. The coordinates were WAAS averaged with five excellent signals, so should be right on. The cache point is covered in rocks and the views are great. They include, to the south - the valley containing the town of Halfway, to the west and north are the Wallowas and east is Hells Canyon. If you haven't been to the top of the Russel Lookout, you should definitely catch those views while in the neighborhood! My pictures of that day are eh??!?! so post one of your own before the snow flies!
