Geocache Description:


The King's Beach

 

About this location:

Located on Hwy 28 at the city of King's Beach on the north shore of Lake Tahoe in the King's Beach State Park area. You can park for free next to the bathrooms where the cache is only 100 feet away.  There is also a kids play area nearby and a wonderful beach for sunbathing during the summer.


The cache is about 100 feet from the Lake Tahoe. In an area with trees near the bathroom, you will find a three-foot boulder with a plaque on it.

To verify you have found the cache:

Email me the title at the top of the plaque, or you may send me a photo of you next to the plaque holding your GPSr.

 

Cache adopted and updated in March 2008 by SNSpencer.
The original owner of this cache is no longer an active player in the game and was gracious enough to allow me to take over the maintenance of this hide.  I have adopted five vista area Virtual Caches around the perimeter of Lake Tahoe and three in the Carson Pass/Kirkwood area.  Loving Lake Tahoe and other adjacent areas as he did, the original creator, TahoeBerne, chose these scenic areas to have you stop, look, and breathe in the beauty.  I wholeheartedly agree with his opinion of these areas and his reasons for wanting to share them with you.

  
Although a "hidden" cache may be more challenging to locate, TahoeBerne had the following reasons for making these Virtual Caches:

  • Many Traditional hidden caches are stolen.

  • You can visit them in all four seasons, pending any road closures due to snow, which are only temporary anyway.

  • They are easier to find, if that is your desire.

  • They all are located in what I feel are the most scenic locations.
