We picked a fine February day to capture the second leg of the Northwest Geo Triad and our 400th cache. For us, cache #300 was Groundspeak Heaquarters, and this one was #400. Logic dictates we will have to get the Original Stash for #500. Wish us luck!We teamed up with maggi101 to find this famous cache. After getting our 399th down by the parking lot, we headed up the mountain. The hike was fun with lots of interesting things to discover around each bend. The two nine-year-old boys had a blast in the snow and playing their made up game, "Iron Horse", which seemed to involve a lot of sliding on the ice. The views were spectacular and the creek serene. The cache itself was a great find and loaded to the brim with swag, though only a few trackables. We loved the PotA movie paraphernalia! I agree with maggi101 that there ought to be more geocache tie-ins for movies/books/video games. It seems like a perfect fit! Thanks to Moun10bike for keeping this rare cache alive! Once we finished with the cache, we headed toward the tunnel just to see what we were missing. We really wish we could have come that way, but I suppose there are other tunnels that are still open. After finding the second oldest cache in the state, four tired geocachers headed back down the mountain. Though we only managed five caches, it was a great day! Thanks!

Well that I am able to easily travel to the APE cache is testament to the mild winter we're having. I thought the weather today was pretty fine for February, a few clouds, a little sun. Dogster and I checked out some of the theme stuff. Very cool stuff in the cache and thanks for keeping it up these years. Left a bug and coin. Mission Accomplished, we moved on to grab a few more caches while we were in the area.

This was awesome. We were invited along for a day with Team Peredox to hunt the historic APE for their 400th, and are incredibly thankful. Beyond the amazing hike up to get this (though we did lament the loss of the tunnel experience), the contents of the cache itself were just too killer. Would that there were more heavily themed caches like this to be found. Very few bugs and travellers remained in cache. Cal Bear, Library Lil, Hammer, and the two ape coins were all that were there to be found, so we added a couple more, and a Statue of Liberty pressed penny (just to remind you that you were home the whole time). I would have loved better weather to have allowed us to spend some time to go through all of the amazing Project APE materials inside the cache, and educate ourselves more to the coming threat. Thanks for the historic find, and grats to Team Peredox on #400!

Well the tunnel is closed but we managed to complete our mission. Team tinkering (sightunseen/my better half and me) left SoCal a few days ago on a random unplanned roadtrip and decided to make this one of our destinations. I haven't enjoyed a hike this much since.....I don't know when. The trails get pretty ice for a bit but this cali girl managed to make it in running shoes. :-) thanks to lovorca and the previous logs for the helpful advice. We might have to make another road trip to come back with friends. Thank you so much for keeping this one going. Now we are off to Groundspeak HQ and we would love to make it to Brazil for the other remaining A.P.E. cache. In the meantime, happy caching to all!!! :-)p.s. Took red herring, left cal bear, library lil and mini hammer

As we are new to geocaching, we were doing some research over our vacation last week. Found out that one of the coveted original A.P.E. geocaches was still functioning close to our home. Had to go find this historic cache. Took our friend Ali and headed out to the woods from the city. Not exactly the easiest hike today since the packed snow had converted to ice along much of the trail....slow going on the way up and the way down. Beautiful scenery and cool historic value. Left Red Herring Geocoin. Grabbed Las Vegas micro geocoin. Thanks for keeping this cache alive for others to enjoy.
