Welcome to Halloween! This cache is located in the Temple Mountain conservation area and parking is available off from Rt 101. Cache is located approximately .20 miles from the parking area - up hill! Bushwacking is required, how much, depends on the route you take to get to the cache. Rocks in the vicinity of the cache are covered with grass, ferns, and other debris, watch your step! Be sure to visit the Temple Mountain cache while you are here.
** WARNING ** There is a Bee's Nest in the vicinity of the cache - reported on July 29, 2019! Please proceed with caution - if allergic to bee stings or you are not sure, please return another day - hopefully the bees will move on... ** WARNING ** Halloween is another cache in the American Holiday cache series. The container is a small rubbermaid lock-n-lock filled with an assortment of Halloween trinkets (sorry, no trick-or-treat- candy), a travel bug, and a log sheet - be sure to bring your own writing instrument. Happy Caching, Happy Halloween, and as in the tradition of my holiday cache series, here is a short history on the day we know as Halloween! Halloween is an annual holiday observed on October 31, primarily in the United States, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holiday All Saints' Day, but is today largely a secular celebration . Common Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, ghost tours, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, committing pranks, telling ghost stories or other frightening tales, and watching horror films. The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day. Up through the early 20th century, the spelling "Hallowe'en" was frequently used, eliding the "v" and shortening the word. Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra halgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.
