Geocache Description:

Hidden on a rugged trail in Federal Way's little known undeveloped Poverty Bay Park.


Poverty Bay Riches

 

 

 

Do you remember the scene in Jurassic Park where Wayne Knight (Newman) is struggling to connect the winch of his jeep to a tree to pull his jeep back onto the road? He struggles back up the slippery slope to his jeep in that scene but the trail has degraded to a big sloppy muddy mess. You may find yourself replaying this very scene on the way back to your own vehicle. In fact, I believe that this may have been filmed on this very path. I didn't bother to dig for the shaving cream can of dinosaur embryos but no doubt it is there somewhere. Of course my impressions may have something to do with the fierce windstorm that was hitting the area as I made this hide. There were actual trees falling as I scrambled back out of the woods.

There is tons of free room in this big 5-gallon bucket so if there is some big swag item or bowling ball travel bug you always wanted to get rid of, this might be your chance.

I have included a hint photo that should help you a great deal on your quest. Please don't hesitate to use this photo as it may prove very helpful. The cache is hidden about 10-15ft from the trail in one of the few places you can actually get off of the trail.

One of the challenges that I had in getting into this area was in finding a legal place to enter the park trails without crossing private property. I will let you enjoy that challenge too by not sharing the parking coordinates at this time. Please don't share them in your posts as we want all to enjoy that challenge. There is a good place to park legally and enter directly onto the trail about ¼ mile from the cache.

 



Congratulations Mud Club - FTF!
