Moun10Bike: It's sad to see this old one go. I always wanted to make it out to hunt it, but I guess I waited too long.

Geocache Description:

The Foothills Trail south of Port Angeles. Alt about 1900 feet. Cache is about .3 miles from trailhead. Some steep areas on the trail, but the trip back is mostly downhill!

The trailhead is on some back roads up Hurrican Ridge Road. There was some fresh snow on the roads when I placed the cache on 3/3/01, however the trail itself had no snow.

There are a lot of trees but occasional clear areas where you can get a good readings.

Trailhead is 48 03.347 N by 123 29.269 W. Due to the (possible) difficulty of this cache, I took a lot of pictures as hints.

The cache contains a unicorn beanie baby, a yo yo, a Matchbox car and some kind of action figure.
