Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site

Signal the Frog is the official mascot of Groundspeak, the Seattle company that hosts geocaching.com. He recently decided to take a little hike and host a get-together in the Redmond Watershed Preserve.

From the parking lot, Signal looked for a trail that would Connect him to the large trail system to the North. After making sure he was not smoking, he took a right.

Before long, Signal was rushed by both a cougar and a bear! He hopped off to the left, leaving the menacing critters behind. Soon Signal was tired from hopping, and took a break on a nice bench.

Here he looked around, spying power lines, no fewer than five sign posts, and several trail options. After resting for a few minutes, Signal went off in search of Trillium.

As he headed up the trail, Signal admired three large stumps on the right side of the trail, and continued on. Eventually, he started up a gentle rise. Near the top, he spotted a stump under a medium sized cedar tree on the right side of the trail. He hopped around to the back side of the stump, and waits for you there.

Signal asks that you please be careful not to trample the ferns on your way to the rear of the stump.

The box: The cache/box is a full-sized, 50 caliber ammo can (don't you miss those?!). Inside, you'll find two bags. One holds the geocaching log book. The other holds the letterboxing log book, stamp and ink. If you're new to letterboxing, here's the drill: You stamp the letterbox's stamp into your personal log book, and if you have one, stamp your stamp into the letterbox's log book. Stamps are usually hand-carved (way easier than it sounds, and fun!), but you can really use just about anything, including your thumb print. (Please be sure to leave the letterbox's stamp in the box.) You can log your find here and here. If you decide you like this letterboxing stuff, there are a lot more boxes in this park.

If you don't want to follow the clues above, the waypoint for the cache location is available below.
