Moun10Bike: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us, and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Enjoy the view from the light house at Discovery Park's West Point.

Another cache to mark one of our favorite places. Whenever the weather gets too hot, we like to escape to one of our favorite beaches- down by the light house at Discovery Park.

You can park at the visitor's center at N47 39.476 W122 24.374 and head down the trail to the beach- or if you have small children or elderly/handicapped passengers with you, you can check out a pass that will enable you to park at the beach lot at N47 39.667 W122 25.945. Parking permits are enforced and please leave them for people who really need them!

You'll find the cache along the path that passes along the fence on the N side of the light house. As you are walking along the path with the fence on your right, the cache will be among the rocks on your left. You do not need to leave the path to find the cache. As I was walking along the path tonight, I saw something I had never noticed before, even tho I've walked here dozens of times. One of the blocks of granite had a name carved into it. It's very weathered, but as best I can read it, it says "C. Fritz Blic 1962". Please post your interpretation! (And I hope it goes without saying- please don't add to the grafitti!) Enjoy!
