Geocache Description:

Please do not go beyond the wall or fence, the bluff is quite steep and if you fall down it will leave a mark.

When you get to the first posted co-ordinates the slab will be very obvious.

The construction is done, a nice long house is there now. The slab is still there, but maybe not as prominent as before.

But I didn't bring you here to look at the slab. Go over to the wall and enjoy the view of the sound, Seattle, the Cascades and Mt. Rainier. Go down the boat ramp and enjoy the beach. There is a nice new pier to enjoy. Plenty of parking near WP1, by the wall and along the fence. The third week of August is not a good time to do this cache. The final is about a block away from WP1, but the parking is very limited. There are no parking signs all over the place. Once you figured out the final co-ordinates, follow your compass up the road. The road is named after an Indian Princess.

If you find a Geocoin and want to move it, Great! The rule is you must log that you retrieved it and log it when you drop it into another cache.

Bring your own pen/pencil.

Congratulations to Mack-Daddy and Slowestmover for FTF!

Extra Extra Credit. Who was the Indian Princess and why would a street in Suquamish be named after her?

The final N47 43.UVW W122 33.XYZ

The math
