Kiersolvd: I checked up on the cache this afternoon and it was not where I recalled placing it. It had a nice good run so it's time to let this one go. Thanks to everyone who visited. ~Kiersolvd

Geocache Description:

The Cedar River Trail is a city park in Renton with a walking path alongside the Cedar River.  Along the way, you'll get to see the backside of Boeing's Renton Plant, perhaps some airplanes taking off and landing, and a different view of Lake Washington.

This is a simple multi-cache on the trail between the airport and the Boeing plant.

To solve for the final coordinates of this cache, you'll need to walk along the cedar river trail.  It's level and paved.  Expect about a mile walk round trip.

The initial coordinates will lead you to the road into the nearest parking area. There is plenty of parking along the road to the north. Park anywhere you like.

There are four real waypoints and one virtual one.  You may go to each waypoint in which ever order is most convenient to you.

You'll need to go to the Boeing Companie's web site to find out some information about it's Renton Plant.  After all, if you are going to walk along side it, you might as well know a little about what goes on inside.
